Allied War Conference
Laying Plans For Fight

attached to the Washington an
nouncement today that Secretary
of State Cordell Hull was leaving g
there for Quebec. He will arrive
tomorrow.
British Foreign Minister Antho-
ny Eden came in yesterday and
his presence and Hull's would ap-
pear to complete the roster of
high political as well as militarS
advisers to the president and the
prime minister. Eden's m e,
moreover, continues to figure in
speculation that he may be as

to whether Europe actually was
to be invaded or whether main
reliance was to be placed upon
destruction of enemy military in
dustrial resources by strategical
bombing. Mr.. Churchill d in
Washington in May that strategi-
cal bombing would be tried out,
and in the interim the experiment
obviously has been made.
But so far there has been no
clear-cut evidence that the heavy
bombings, to date have reduced
the enemy to the point of collapse
or woul DIDO so in the near future.
On the other hand there is almost
every evidence except a formal
announcement from the conference
here that the mailed fist of Allied
might is ven now raised to strike.

ment of the Italian mainland north
OF Messina, Sicily. Allied planes
were chasing Axis troops in flight
across southern Italy. General Els
enhower has announced that the
armies in Sicily "are ready tc
60 at any minute" And broad
cast from Algiers, in the name
of the high command, told the
conquered people of Europe tt
prepare for action "in the short
est possible time"

cal effects, the conquest OF Italy
will furnish the Allies with valu-
able air bases and should result
in the establishment of a l a n d
front in northern Italy where the
Nazis have been reported mass
ing their strength. But it is a
question whether this alone would
draw off heavy forces from the
Russian front and facilitate h e
Red army's progress.
The belief is, therefore, that the
attack on Italy will be but one
of several assaults in the next
few weeks. If it is right to expect
that the main blow will be deliv-
cred from England at Europe's S
northern coast, then another of
the tasks of the present confer
ence is to name commander
for the European, as opposed to
the Mediterranean area.
Speculation over the filling of
this post revolves around General
Sir Harold Alexander, Britain S
brillian strategist, former COM
mander-in-chief in the Middle East
and now Eisenhower's deputy in
Sicily. One other top command
position, that for t h offensive
from India against Japanese-held
Burma, also is to be filled.

its-he is not one of those per-
petual busybodies called early
risers."
In regard to the war, Bracken
said, "I think the war is going
very well indeed, but that it will
last a long time and be a very
hard war;" 1t was then that he
expressed the view that it was
all one war-in Europe and Asia,
alike-and added: when we have
rounded up Mr.. Hitler, the whole
might of the British Empire will
be given over to the task of deal
ing with the Japanese, who are
a ruthless, savage people"
At another point he restated this
idea, saying: every ounce of
strength we've got we intend to
use against Japan.
The victorious march Of events
in the European war zone was
stressed today by the release of
message sent by President
Roosevelt to General Dwight D.
Eisenhower, in which the Presi-
dent underscored what can be ac-
complished by planning and team
work among the Allies.
The chief executive congratulate

Meanwhile it was officially an
