4 minutes, then began their press
conference. In line with a pattern
followed at Casablanca last winter
no questions were permitted.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
said they had surveyed the whole
field of world operations" in the
light of many gratifying events,
which had taken place since they
met last in Washington in May.
Further conferences probably will
be necessary and at shorter inter-
walls, they said. as the war effort of
the United States and Britain
spreads and deepens."
The Pacific decisions reached here,
they said, can only emerge in ac-
ton.
1T may, however, be stated" the
Allied chieftains said, that the
military discussions of the chiefs of
staff turned very largely upon the
war against Japan and the bring
ing of effective aid to China"
T. V. Soong, Chinese Foreign
Minister, was here representing
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek in
the latter stages of the war coun-
cils.
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
said that in the field of the conflicts
against the Japanese, as in the Eu,
ropean theater, they had received
and approved unanimous recon-
mendations Of their combined chiefs
of staff.
Political Accord Also Reached.
Agreement was also reached, .
they said, upon the political issues
underlying or arising out of the mill
tary operations.
The President and Prime Minister
apologized to the press for being
unable to provide them with an ex-
citing announcement on results of
the war deliberations here and for
their inability to describe it with a
slogan or phrase which might mark
it for the future.
Mr.. Churchill voiced the hope,
however, that even-S IN weeks and
months to come would Justify the
hard work which he said had been
expended here in Quebec on the
Allied plan for victory.
On the whole, the Prime Minister
said, things are better than when
he met the President at Casablanca
and at Washington in May. An
other great operation has been sue
cessfully accomplished, he said, with
su Sicily prostrate-but apparently
enjoying it.
Mr.. Churchill said he looked for
ward to great steps being taken to
beat down the enemy one after an
other. Strong and healthy accom-
pliShments have been achieved in
Quebec, he added.
After referring TO the superiority
which the Allied arms had obtained
in equipment and munitions and
the growing successes against the
submarine menace in the Atlantic,
MI. Churchill predicted that Britain
and the United States would be able
to bring the whole weight to bear on
the foe-the blows to come with
what he termed the superb opera
tons of our Ally, Russia.
Help for Millions.
The developments to be brought
about by the growing power of Allied
might, the Prime Minister said
should help the anxious, suffering
millions of the world to come out OF
the dark valley through which they
have had to toll for four long years
Mr.. Churchill hastened to remark
when prompted by Mr.. King, that
he was thinking of the British arc
the French. China, of course. he
said, has been in the war for seven
years. The Quebec conference. the
Prime Minister declared. is a mile
stone on the path toward bringing
the period of world tribulation tc
an end. No doubt, he said, there will
be others.
Mr.. Roosevelt chose in his remarks
TO stress the part the people Of the
Allied Nations are playing in the
effort to bring total victory. Con-
ferenceS are important, he said. but
so are the efforts of the people ir
the mines. factories and fields.
Mr.. Churchill applauded his
statement. All in all, the President
said, the conference has been g
tremendous success.
He and Mr.. Churchill, Mr.. Roose-
velt continued, had sat up into the
early morning hours trying TO pre-
pare some spot news for the press
conference and had failed utterly.
Problem Goes Far Deeper.
On his theme of the manner il
which the people are assisting. Mr.
Roosevelt said the war was not be-
ing run by conferences alone. since
the problem goes far deeper thar
that. The war effort in the fielo
has gone extremely well, he said
but it is from the average either
that soldiers get the things they eat
and wear and the ships which move
them.
There has been a magnifcen
effort In all of the Allied countries
the Chief Executive declared, an,
1t must be kept to high pitch.
Military, naval and air forces cal
not win the war alone, Mr.. Roose
