1t was announced that President
Roosevelt would spend Wednesday
in Ottawa, Canada, address an in
formal meeting of the Dominion
Parliament, then head southwark
toward Washington. His schedule
could not have been worked out
so specifically if the major military
decisions sf the Quebec war sessions
still lay ahead. The address will
be broadcast by NBC, CHS and
Mutual.
2. Presidential Secretary Stephen
Early disclosed yesterday that the
President and Mr.. Churchill. by
toiling into the early morning hours
had disposed of all immediate mat
ters requiring their attention and
had taken time off to go picnicking
and fishing at lake so miles north
of here.
8. Cordell Hull, United States Sec
retary of State, arrived yesterday
to go over political phases of the
war effort with Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden of Britain. They
dined and conferred with the Chief
Executive and Prime Minister last
night.
4. Allied chiefs of staff, who main
tain close contact even when war
councils are not in progress, met for
days before Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Churchill joined forces here to fin
ish charting the next ASS sults on the
Axis. The two principals, moreover,
held preliminary discussions at
Hyde Park, N. Y, in advance of
their Quebec talks.
Military Work Continues.
The military work of the quebec
conference was not entirely COM
pleted. Chiefs of staff and their
key advisors were to continue con-
sultations during the week end, but
their principal job at this stage of
the war parley appeared to be that
CT picking up few loose ends re-
maining after all the more mo-
mentouS issues on the military
agenda were out of the way.
The question of obtaining better
teamwork witt Russia, some observ-
ers here believed, is uppermost
among the political considerations
confronting the Allied leaders here
Significant in that connection was
the first Russian call from any
source for a three-way conference
among Russia, England and the
United States to shorten the war
and pave the way for peace on a
basis of friendly collaboration. 1t
appeared in an editorial in the
Soviet magazine War and the
Working Class.
Political posers also will appear
unless the Allies solve them in ad-
vance, as soon as new war zones are
opened on the European continent
by mighty amphibious attacks
which apparently may be expected
soon.
Whether any statement delineat-
ing Allied political policy will resul,
from the conference here has not
yet been determined.
Th only announcements and an
alyses show in prospect from the wal
council are those to be made at a
press conference with which the
President and Prime Minister will
bring the Quebec sessions to a close
Tuesday and in the Roosevelt ad.
dress in Ottawa.
There can be no expectations tha'
military plans will be revealed, but
whatever pronouncements come
from the press conference ano
speech will be clothed with grear

canoe.
The Allied leaders might vel
elect to send an insipirationai mes
sage to occupied lands that liberat
ing armies soon will be on thei
way, since Allied radio stations hav
been telling them that attacks vii
not be long delayed. The Quebe
conference in all probably will d.
nothing to detract from their hopes
VIII Spend Day in Ottawa.
Mr.. Roosevelt will spend only
day in Ottawa, at the invitation O
Prime Minister w. l.. MackenZi
King of Canada and as the guest O
