'
Likening
himself
to
a
"wandering

Mr.
Churchill
said
he
and
President
Franklin

should
confer
with
Premier

before

ends.
The
Prime
Minister
declared
that
"all

Mr.
Churchill
summed
up
the
results

the
statement
that
It

He
underscored
the
necessity

and
forestalling
them
before

i
The
Prime

touched

upon

Churchill
said
that
