Nazi Defeat
Is Declared
To Be Certain
LONDON, Aug. 25 — After lis
tening over the radio to state
ments of President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Winston Church
ill, George Bernard Shaw, fam
ous playwright, declared today
that there is no doubt as to the
triumph of Great Britain in hei
present conflict against Ger
many.
The United States truly in
tends to be an “arsenal for dem
ocracy” and with this economic
assistance coupled with the man
power of Russia and Great Brit
ain’s determination to continue
resistance to Nazi tyranny vic
tory is certain for the cause ol
freedom, the distinguished writ
er declared.
It is a great satisfaction to pec

Japan And
U. S. Allow
Departures
WASHINGTON Aug. — A pos
sible end of the dispute betweer
the United States and Japan over
Nipponese refusal to permit the
departure of American citizens
stranded in Japanese ports was
-indicated by Secretary of State
Cordell Hull.
Hull did not say specifically
that any agreement had been
reached between Tokyo and
Washington. He did say, however
that small groups of Americans
probably would leave Japan
from time to time and that sim
ilar groups of Japanese may
leave the United States.
Hull declined to give any de
tails, but his remarks were taken
as an indication of an arrange
ment under which stranded na
tionals of the two countries
might be released.
Aliens from Philippines
SHANGHAI, China, Aug.—The
French liner Marechal Joffre ar
rived in Shanghai carrying more
than 400 Japanese, German and
Italian citizens evacuated from
the Philippine Islands. The pas
sengers reported that they were
subjected to an intensive search
by Philippine Commonwealth
customs agents before they were
permitted to leave.
The departure of the Joffre
was delayed six hours by the
setarch. The purpose of the
search apparently was to prevent
removal of currency or other as
sets affected by the freezing or
ders.
Many of the Japanese had liv
ed in the Philippines more than
30 years.
