At a brief press conference, he spoke in appreciation of the Can- adan war effort, paid tribute to United states aid, gave the aims or a mission he was soon to make to England. and diplomatically ad- journed the gathering by recount. ing a humorous incident that. oc- curred on a visit to Canada. in 1909.

He said that future meetings be- tween the two democratic leaders were posible. "Mr. Churchill and Mr. Roosevelt might find it very useful to meet from time to time if the war goes On and exchange personal views." he added.

Lord Halifax turned the "if" a- side with s. shrug and said an “as" might be Just as well used. 'I1"e Only thing he could say about h‘s ideas on how soon the war would end was "it's two years nearer the end than when it. startled."

He had recently talked with Mu- nitlons Minister Howe and Rt. Hon. Malcolm MacDonald. British high
