Recalling that the pledge was
given In November, 1870, when Bril-
tain stood alone. he said he saw no
reason to modify II.
He said Britain, the Dominions
and America had cleared Africa,
and together British and u. s,
armies had conquered Sicily, Cor
vica and the heel Of Italy.
I'VE have broken the back of the
U-boat war" he said. we have in
nicted Shattering damage, and are
lnflicting 1t on German cities which
are the center Of production"
He said that this, combined with
other blows, may well be the pre-
cursor Of decisive events"
Britain, Churchill said, has had
the honor to bear the largest torch
and pay the heaviest price" Never
theless, in the Pacific many brill
liant actions have been recorded
and the strength OF Japan has been
steadily and remorselesSly worn
down."
THE outstanding event of this
year has been the victorious adj
vance of the Russian army from
the Volga west to the Dnieper, thus
nberating-as Premier Stain told
us-two-thirds of the Russian soil
from the foul invader.
I'm this process the Russian arm
YES have inflicted deep and dire in
Jury upon the whole life structure
Of German military power, that
monstrous juggernaut Of German
might and tyranny has been beaten
and broken by Russian valor, gen.
sralship and science q. and 1t has
been beaten to an extent which may
well prove mortal"
Churchill said he rated the An
glo-American air attack on Ger
many as one OF the prime forces
IN the impending threat Of the Hit
lerite regime.
I'VE have all been cheered by the
results of the Moscow conference"
Churchill said, land we look forward
to welcoming back in the next week
or so our foreign secretary tAnthony
Eden) from his most successful mis-
sion."
He called Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull "that gallant old eagle"
II have not abandoned hope that
some time it may be possible for
the heads of the three governments
to meet together, because all my
experience shows that friendly and
trustful contacts are the best
foundations for all plans, whether
for war or peace"
He called the agreement among
Britain, Russia, America and China
an "all-important" one which "looks
to the foundation of future peace"
I'VE hope that France will rise
again to her true purpose and will
play O worthy part in shaping the
progress Of Europe and the world"
Churchill said.
Ho said he rejoiced at the grow
ing power Of the French armies

From Koshanka. the Russians

A Word from Eisenhower
Cincinnati Enquirer

NCmclnnatl EnquueID
 General de Gaulle has made it apparent ever since the invasion of North Africa began, that he believes himself alone qualified to act political leader of the French people, and that he hopes when France is reclaimed to administer political reorganiza- ton there His recent victory in the French Con- mittee of National Liberation, the chairmanshp of which he won, is another step in that direction.
 But the action of General Eisenhower in Italy, where the program for control of conquered nations is being whipped into permanent shape should not be particularly encouraging to de Gaulles aspirations. It is to be presumed that Italy is serving now as proving ground for tactics which will be followed in the administration of other reconquered European countries The Eisenhower announcecent, then, can be looked upon indicating the plan which probably will be made effective in France in the not too distant future.
 General Eisenhower has made it clear that the Allied Military Government which now controls South Italy and Sicily, gradually will be replaced by an Italian administration. But he made it equally clear that this does not mean the country soon will be placed under full Italian control He has appointed committee which will to it that the district is governed according to terms of the armisce and will work to fit the Italian economy into the Allied military program. ~ fr
 This should show General de Gaule that the Allied nations do not plan to turn over to him CT to any other French leader-ful control of France until the time is ready for such action. So long as military necessity demands, the adIninistra- ton will remain in the hands of Allied military leaders Then the French people themselves will be given the right to select their government with out undue coercion from any quarter
 General de Gaule has not proven himself. to date, genius in the field of politics His attitude often has been overbearing and unpleasant He has won French support, particularly in North Africa, but there is nothing to indicate that that support will continue after the is won and conditions return toward normalcy. In way, General EiSenhoWer's s announcement of Italian administration is answer

 DIES, WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Dec 14.-Marvin H. Mcintyre, 65. Secretary to Presi- dent Roosevelt throughout his ten years in the White House, is dead succumbing to iong standing ill., ness. He passed away at the home of his daughter Mrs. Fred Warren.
 Mcintyre had been associated with the President for more than two decades serving as his publicity representative during the Vice. Presidential campaign in 1920 Prior to that time he was a newspaper man in the south.
 President Roosevelt, on his way home from conferences ill the Cairo and Tehera, was notified of Me- Intyres death and sent message to the White House saying: Another faithful servant has been lost to public service in the death of Mar win Mcintyre. Despite the handicap of frail health in recent years, he could not be persuaded by any consideration of self-interest to re- lax his devotion to the heavy im- portant duties and responsibilities which fell to him to discharge. A man with a less valiant spirit would have been defeated.' A~

Here is new wrinkle in the black market--nylon stockings in liquor stores.
 A young woman in Richmond, Virginia, had heard that nylon hose could be had in one of the stores of the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board So she walked into the store, and asked the clerk, Do you know where I can get some nylon stockings?"
 In a low voice, the man replied, What size do you wear?"
 Nine and a half
 The man glanced at other GUS toners, and said, I'll have to talk to you later
 In due time, the stockings were produced and the sale was made - at $4 pair

 It's an Americans privilege to take bath, but na takes so many more baths than Europeans that the U s. per capita consumption of water is more than twice that of Europe WIPE doesn't say so of ficially, but it implies that six inches of water in the tub will make you just as clean as full tub.
 The worry comes from the pro- blem of keeping war plants provid- ed with light and water. Electric companies which have always pro- noted heavier use of electricity c'buy new toaster or ironD are now spending money to advertise conservation.

 The only liberalization far can see from reading the text of the proclamation is that per sons travelling within specific zone do not need to secure travel permits. Before this it was necessary if travel taken plane vessel that touched ports fields outside of Alaska, travel was only from one Alaskan port to another. Of course, however, any person could then travel from one Alaskan port another without permit by choosing for transportation plane ship that served only in Alaska
