Conference
Continued From First Page

Marshal Stain contained an indi-
cation OF possible developments In
the Balkans area by announcing
complete agreement as to the scope
and timing Of the operations to be
undertaken from the east, west and
south"
This statement was interpreted to
mean that the time has been set for
invasion Of Europe across the Chan
mel. The time undoubtedly was
chosen with respect to the progress
OF Russian offensive on the eastern
front and the development of an
attack in the south of Europe.
Might Preced Blow Over Channel.
The latter might come In either
Southern France OF the Balkans
Most observers here incline to the
belief that it would be the Balkans
and that a massive thrust there
would precede the attack across the
Channel in order to bring maximum
pressure on Nszl Europe at all vul-
nerable points.
While victory over Japan is con-
sidered equally certain by authori-
ties here, they say that no such
confidence with respect to time Is
now possible.
Almost a year and half after
the initial Pacific offensive against
Guadalcanal Island in the South
west Pacific, hard fighting Ameri-
can troops are still struggling for
possession of the last of the Solo
mons, and the key japanese base of
Rabaul. at best perimeter defense
position, remains to be taken.
Southeastern Asia Attack Due.
Events moved more rapidly in the
North Pacific where conquest of Attu
Island early this year forced the
Japanese to evacuate Kiska and
gave American forces a springboard
for jumping on Japan's northern
outposts in the Kuriles, but it now
appears that it will be several
months at least before the jump can
be made.
The most immediate prospects for
new action against Japan lie in the
Southeastern Asia theater where
Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten
has been accumulating ships, planes
and men for campaign against
enemy-held Burma. Malaga and
eventually Singapore.
All these actions. present and fu-
ture. are believed to have several
purposes in CCmman: ID To force
Japan to 0l5perse her strength and
If possible to engage and destroy
her seapower: 90 to regain control
of such strategic positions as Singa-
pore and the island of Luzon in the
Philippines; 90 to cut of the south
ern and richest half of Japan's
empire by air and sea action based
on the Philippines; a. to open a

than they deserve, no matter what
efforts are made to prevent that
from happening he said.
Mr.. Patterson said, however, that
the War Department has recap
tured $500, 5000 in excessive war
profits by renegotiating terms of
its contracts with big supplers of
war goods. He advocated continued
contract renegotiations rather than
100 per cent excess profits tax as
the best way Of preventing unjus-
titled war earnings.

BLOOD HATE GREED

Some years ag on the European
slopes
The she wolves spawned their mad
dog pups
They must of been fed on poison
and greed,
For where could You find their
equal indeed.
The battles fought in years gone by
Was to stand up and take it until
you die,
Women and children were safe
from it all
But not from the ghOuls of Eu-
ropes Offall.
Where is the prattle of little feet
Running here and there to meet
One who will never open the door?
His family is dead, stretched on
the floor.
This family was entitled TO live
and trust
But the orgies of hell got to it first
And into this home a shell had TO
burst
And visions of limbs were thrust.

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

With the restrictions on gasoline
and fuel oil that are in effect at
the present time, great many
people are now turning 10 wood
fires in the fireplace. This can be
a great destroyer of property,
carelessness is shown in the use
of an open fire. The Safety Council
asks that all users of a home fire
place keep a screen in front of it at
all times. Never leave an unpro-
tected fire going if you are planning
to leave the room for any length
of time. Wood that is seasoned
has a tendency to pop and crackle
thus showering the carpet with
sparks and live Goals. If you are
out of the room or busy elsewhere,
these instruments of destruction
can begin their evil work and get
well advanced before you return
and find that nice rug is a rug Of
flames.
Another needed article is the axe.
That small piece of steel can do a
lot of damage if left to its own de-
vices. A few easy rules should be
followed to insure long life and
healthy limbs.
l. DO not hold the piece of wood
you are chOpping with your hand.
A knot can turn the axe blade and
you might find something missing.
E. Do not leave the axe where
children can play with it,
3. Watch out for stones and hard
objects under the piece you are
cutting. Steel flies easy and you
can't see il coming.
If you show some sense in your
chopping. the fire will heat all, not
