Agreement Believed
Near on War Plans
OF United Nations
Bigger Voice for Chino
And Russiu in Decisions
Reported Discussed
By GARNETT d. HORNER.

Agreement by the Big Four
United Nations on definite plans
about when and where to strike the
Axis next in carrying out the global
war strategy which President Roose-
velt hopes will bring victory in 1914
may be announced soon, it was be-
lieved in many quarters here today
The announcement is expected to
go as far as possible, without tipping
off the enemy to the actual plans,
toward clearing up widespread spec
ulation concerning the purport of
| discussions reported to have been
under way among the American,
British, Russian and Chinese gov
ernments.
One Of the most significant phases
OF these discussions, it is understood
on the basis of unconflrmed reports
regarding their nature, is that Rus
sia and China have been given a
larger part in the making of deci-
sions of the type for which Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill assumed major response
bility last year.
Personal conferences between the
President and Mr.. Churchill last
June brought the decision for the
North African offensive to start in
November, after they were convinced
a more ambitious operation directly
against Hitler on the European con-
tinent could not be undertaken with
reasonable chances OF success until
mid-1943
Questions pending now involve
such decisions as whether the
American British invasion of Nail
held Europe shall await successful
completion of the effort to drive the
Axis out of Africa, and how soon the
essentially holding action against
the japanese may be expanded into
full-scale offensive in the Pacific.
Chinese participation in making
such decisions would indicate great
er attention to Chinas persistent
demands for an offensive against
Japan that will not leave the Nip
ponese time for developing resources
Of the territory she has conquered
in the South Pacific.
The enemy undoubtedly will be
left to guess, however whether
China has won the United States
and Britain over to planning imme-
diate expansion of the United Ma
tions war effort in the Pacific, or
whether she has been convinced that
the best strategy is to concentrate
on knocking out Hitler first.
There has been no official ex-
planation of how the question of
Russia's neutrality in the war with
Japan might affect Big Four" dis
cussions on general war strategy, but
it is assumed that the Soviet might
participate in planning moves
against the European end of the
Axis without taking active part in
discussions concerning only Japan.
The latest official outline of United
Nations objectives in the war this
year was given in broad terms by
Mr.. Roosevelt in his January 7 mes
sage to Congress.

Britain TO Cooperate
In Allied Economic
Program, Eden Says
Foreign Secretary Denies
Rumor of Discord in
Russian Relations
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 20. - Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden told
Commons today the British gov
ernment intended to prepare a
common program of postwar
economic cooperation in consul
tation with the United States,
Soviet Russia and the other
United Nations, and said consid-
cradle progress had been made in
preparatory work.
Asked by a member whether this
meant there was no truth to a
rumor that the British government
and the USSR were at loggerheads,
Mr.. Eden replied:
Il think I can reassure him COM
pletely on that point"
Mr.. Eden made no reply to ques-
tions concerning appointment of
Marcel Peyrouton as Governor Cen
eral of Algeria and North African
politics generally.
Prisoners Ordered Released.
The foreign secretary assured
Commons that both Britain and the
United States lost no opportunities
to impress on the French authorities
that all North African prisoners,
held because of sympathy to the
Allied cause, should be released
speedily.
He said he felt that the Vatican
joined in the Allied Nations con-
demnation of Axis atrocities against
the Jews in the sense that Pope
Plus XII in his Christmas eve
broadcast condemned prosecutions
generally. He made no reply when
asked If there was a chance to
obtain from the Vatican something
more specific on Jewish persecution.
Mr.. Eden said many North African
political prisoners already had been
released, and d mixed commission
set up under the joint Craftsmanship
of the United States and British
consuls general in Algiers was in
yestigating all those whose status

made as fast as possible, he said.
Will Verify Releases.
Members of the International
Brigade and other Spanish Repub-
licans are among those to be given
speedy consideration by the commits
sion, he added.
The Foreign Secretary said United
States authorities reported at the
end of December that all French
nationals detained for having helped
the Allied cause had been ordered
freed and the commission would
verify that these orders were ex-
ecuted.
He declared that as far as was
known no persons were imprisoned
merely because they were Jews.

AMERICANS BUILD AUSTRALIAN ROADS
Prosperity Comes With Engineers; Residents
 Love MacArthur
By HAROLD GUARD Limited Press Staff COrresnOndentl

 Somewhere in Australia, April l6 -(UP)-American Engineers and equipment have built a strategic road system through Australia's in- terior, over which some 30,O00, 900 road miles have been traversed.
 Today's motor truck fleets are many times greater than those which travelled the central Austral- ian track prior to the road-building program and operational costs have been reduced as much as 75 per cent.
 The road system traverses the in- terior country which the vast ma jority of Australians never have seen.
 one newspaper remarked last August 19:
 "These Americans nave literally brought Australia to the Austral- ians. It has taken a war to give us roads instead of hotelless bush tracks"
 This dispatch is being written from one center from which pion- eers have set of for one of the most perilous undertakings. They are men who scout this vast terri tory for war materials which abound in obscure places.
 This town once was one of Aus tralia's least distinguished inland Outposts. It now is a well policed center with the inevitable pubs Through it truck conveys roll like clockwork.
 With the roads nave come prOs- perity. The residents love to refn- inisce about the historic arrival of General Douglas MacArthur and his family from the Philippines.
 At one of the leading hostelries here, I occupied a double room with plain iron bedsteads which the Mac Arthurs occupied. and the elderly hosisemaid. Kathleen, still talks af- fectiona.ely of them and remarked that "like ali Americans they liked steak and eggs for breakfast-steak and roasts are about all you Amer jeans eat"
 She was proud of the fact that the MacArthur family and the gen- erals stan went to the local movies and sat among the Aussie soldiers.
 Besides the military installations in this town, there are armies of civilians, most of them connected in some way with the var effoTt There are miners. en8lnesE& s1xs@s-

 Washington, April l6,- (UP) -- Gen. Douglas MacArthur will re- ceive air reinforcements to the ex- tent necessary to implement opera tional plans for the southwest Pa. citic developed at the Casablanca conference, informed quarters said today.
 The plans, it was said, will govern the general operations in Australian and other Pacific areas for the next several months.
 MacArthur has been apprised oi these plans, officials said, adding they were at Q loss to explain his plea for more aircraft and the chorus of warnings from Australia that the Japanese are on the verge of attacking that continent. One source put 1t this way
 Operations in the Pacific for the next several months were deter mined at the Casablanca conference. Military and naval leaders from the Pacific were summoned to Washing ton for conference at which these plans were explained. At that time they were given directiveS governing these plans. Now steps are being taken to implement these directives with the necessary war materials and supplies, especially planes"
 Officials indicated that there is no reason for revising the plans in the light of recent developments ir the southwest Pacific. Furthermore they said, there is no evidence here that the recent responsiveness oi 1 the augmented Japanese air force in that area is prelude to invasion ! of the Australian continent.
 Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son took cognizance of the pessimisn emanating from Australia when ht told his press conference that Amer. ican and Australian flyers will bC supplied not only with loss replace. Il ment aircraft but a sufficient mum. Der of planes to counter the in. creas!ng enemy air strength"
 These planes, an authoritative source said, are those which were promised for that area at the time of the Pacific conference here anc do not constitute an additional al location. He would not say. however whether the planes would be sufIi. cient for large-scalc offensive uss as well as for defensive require. ments.
 In addition 10 Stimson's state. mcnt, there were these other devel. opments here on the Australian controversy:

President Manuel Quezon of the Philippine commonwealth said in q statement that he hoped imme. diate steps would be taken to strengthen our arms in the Pacific, at least enough to stop Japan in her tracks," There have been and will continue to be times, he said, when 8 whole battlefront and a whole nation twill be considered ex- pendable but it is impossible for me to conceive that the entire far east is eXpendable.

 An authoritative naval source re- iterated Secretary of Navy Frank Knox'S recent assertion that an in- vasion of Australia was not feasible without a large surface force in the area and there was no evidence oi such a concentration. This same of ficial said the statement by a Mac- Arthur spokesman that Q great Jap- anese naval combat fleet is being maintained at Truk, major enemy base in the southwest Pacific, does not controvert Knox's remarks. Such | a fleet, he said, has been maintained at Truk since the outbreak of wal and even before.
 It was suggested that the steady flow Of warnings from MacArthul and Australian officials might bt designed to remind the high com. mand here not to forget the south west Pacific at time when interest is centering on plans for invading Europe.
