lies will invade the Italian main- land as quickly as possible.
 This anticipated ultimatum, 1t was believed, will emphasize that failure of Italy to surrender will mean an Allied refusal to deal with any government under Badoglio in the future.
 Though it never has been con- firmed officially, best evidence indi- cated that Italy has forwarded at least two peace proposals to the Allies.
 Proposal Ignored
 The initial one was understood to have reached Eisenhower through a neutral source a few days after Ba- doglio succeeded Benito Mussolini as premier. It asked that Italy be permitted to revert to neutral status thus denying the Allies the use of the Italian mainland for an assault on Germany. It was rejected or merely ignored.
 A second proposal was reported to have been sent several days ago. also through neutrals. But no de- tails of it's provisions were known. Lack of response, indicated it was equally unacceptable.
 MT. Roosevelt and Churchill prob ably will make known their attitude to Italy through joint statement or through a third party.
 The two chiefs of state also are expected to assess the situation on the Russian front, particularly as to whether the German retreat was due solely to Russian pressure or a desire to shorten the defensive front to permit large-scale transfers of troops to western Europe.
 Collaboration with Russia
 There is a general impression in London that they will take special measures to increase Anglo-Ameri- can collaboration with Russia. Es- Soviets have no top diplomatic representatives in either London or Washington at the moment.
 Maxim Litvinov, ambassador to Washington is still in Moscow, and Ivan Maisky, ambassador to Lon- don, has been made an assistant foreign commisar in Moscow.
 MT. Roosevelt and Churchill also must assess carefully the tempera- ture of the German satellites, par ticularly Finland, which is believed ready to jump out of the war at the first moment.
 Strategy likewise must be devised to cope with the likelihood that the forthcoming months will see the overturn of pro-Axis governments in the Balkans.
 Not a Reckless Promise"
 The London Daily Telegraph, com menting editorially on the confer ence, said that perhaps the ax can now be laid to the root of the trees" The newspaper said the fact that Churchill is accompanied by high military officials encourages hope of developments, since his last journey disclosed new possibilities as well as problems"
 The Daily Mail recalled that Churchill had predicted heavy fight ing in the Mediterranean and else where before the leaves of autumn fall" and said he was not in the habit of making reckless prom iseS."

Farm Leaders Assert
Roosevelt Plans No
General { God Subsidy

Farm leaders who saw the Pres
ident today told newsmen later that
they had received assurance that
the administration was not planning
any general consumer subsidy pro-
gram to hold down food prices. La
Dor has been urging that the Gov
ernment spend $4,000 ,OOO, 900 to roll
back food costs, holding that other
| wise wages must be allowed to ad-
vance.
Edward A. ONeal, president of
the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, one of the conferees, de-
clared that the meat and butter
subsidies paid by the Government
had failed, but on the contrary the
plan for providing support prices to
producers on specific items-notably
pigs and potatoes-had worked to
good advantage.
The farm leaders are generally in
agreement on this support plan. &C.
cording to Mr.. O'Neal and Albert
Goss, master of the National
Grange, who discussed the confer
ence with newsmen. They said that
James G. Patton of the National
Farmers Union, who also attended
the meeting, did not oppose their
veiws although his organization in
cllnes to the consumer subsidy plan
OF dealing with costs.
Price-Wage Message Likely.
President Roosevelt is expected to
send recommendations to Congress
dealing with price control and wage
stabilization, later in the session.
Mr.. Roosevelt announced some
time ago that a new program was
in the making. Authority for the
present consumer subsidy program
expires January 81.
War Food Administrator Jones.
who also attended today's meeting
recently went on record in favor of
the support prices for specific COM
modities.
Critics of the subsidy plan con-
tend that the money does not find
its way back to the producers. Mr..
Goss said he thinks every one
realizes that things are pretty badly
out OF balance as between agricul-
ture and labor and that there must
be a spirit of give and take in work.
Ing out program.
He said that Sterilization Director
Vlnson, who, with Secretary of Agri-
culture Wickard, also sat in on to-
days meeting, promised that farm
leaders would be consulted before
anything definite was done.
Outline Views to President.
Mr.. Goss said there were Just two
things facing this country and that
one was to stop imitation and the
other was to get as much food as
we can.
The farm leaders left statements
with the President outlining their
respective viewpoints, they said.
Ezra T. Benson of the National
Council of Farm Co-operatives in
his statement declared:
The most effective method of
controlling imitation is to increase
supplies through greater production
Coupled with greater supplies there
should be a reduction of spending
power through a vigorous tax and
savings program"
Mr.. O'Neal said that support
floor prices at adequate levels
should constitute the foundation of
a program to assure abundant pro-
duction and stabilized prices"
| He added that such prices should
be announced early and should con-
tinue long enough to protect farm
ers through the postwar readjust-
ment period

Japs Now Attempting
To Make Peace With
China, Soong Says
By The Associated Press.


China S first major declaration
Of policy on postwar territory in
the Far East. voiced by Foreign
Minister T. V. Soong, called to-
day for complete eradication of
japanese influence in strategic
Korea and FormoSa.
IL Japan annexed the Korean Pen
insula in 1910, but patriots have
fought Nippons domination ever
since and even now have a free
Korean" organization.
FormoSa, an island between Japan
and the Philippines, was ceded by
China after the Sino-Japanese con-
flict in 1895. Mr.. Soong SAYS this
area, equal to about Massachusetts,
and Connecticut Is essentially Chi
nese.
Mr.. Soong laid down this tenta-
tive blueprint of Chinese aims at
a press conference yesterday.
He said Korea should be made
independent and Formosa should
become a part of the Republic of
China.
We don't want to see Thailand-

Soong added, and China moreover
mas no desire to control Indo-China.
He said he wasn't prepared to
discuss the future of Hong Kong
and Mongolia at this time.
He told reporters Japan was con-
stantly bombarding Chungking with
peace proposals, growing in liberalitv
as the Allies exert more military
pressure on the far-f1ung japanese
outpostS.
They are now ready to get out of
Chlna-eXcept for Manchuria and
Formosa-if We'll go over to their
side" Mr.. Soong said. You see.
they're trying to make it racial
war"
But China isn't accepting any of
this. Mr.. Soong indicated as he de-
clared that Chungking's newly-an-
nounced decision to end one-partv
rule and adopt constitution showed
that China was implementing its
political course toward a broaden
Ing and deepening democracy"
He predicted a strong central
Chinese government after the war.

possible-allowing for regional hand
leaps in poor communications and
illiteracy
Mr.. Soong said that though hard
fighting lay ahead, victory is now
insured, and that is why the Kuo-
mintang lone party rule) has re-
solved to hold national assembly
within year after the war to adopt
a constitution.
After this there would be general
election, and China would be gov
erned by national congress and
government responsible to it.
"All political currents" he said,
will thus have equal opportunity
In going before the people to win
their support in free elections"
He viewed China's relationships
with the United States, Great
Britain and Russia with satisfac-
tion,' he said, though he indicated
regret that nothing had come of his
suggestion last year that the United
Nations form an executive council
to deal with war and postwar
