QUICK RESULTS
EXPECTED BY CHURCHILL FROM WASHINGTON TALKS. EXCELLENT PROGRESS BEING • MADE. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day. 12.15 p.m.) WASHINGTON, January 1. Mr Churchill arrived at 9 a.m. At a midnight ceremony in a railway dining car of a special train somewhere in Vermont, Mr Churchill, with members of his staff, pressmen and the train crew, toasted 1942, “Here’s to a year of toil, a year of struggle and peril, and a long step forward to victory.’’ The Australians aboard, with Americans, Englishmen and Canadians, shouted, “A happy New Year to you! Mr Churchill replied: “God bless you and guide us. May we all come through safe and with honour.” English journalists aboard said this was the first time in English history that a Prime Minister had spent New Year’s Eve on a train travellingthrough a foreign country, thousands cf miles from the Homeland. Mr Churchill, in a statement to the Press, said he was sure that the coordination of work under way was making such excellent progress that decisions of far-reaching importance would be reached soon after his talks were resumed with President Roosevelt.
