The implication is strong that if

subsidized, the big conflicts have
been resolved at Moscow, Cairo
and Teheran, into agreements be-
cause in the final analysis the Al
lies are now The masters of the
war, Uoity of plan has at long
last been reached because the AL
lies now nave ample and ever
growing resources OF power: they
are no longer quarreljng about how
to divide inadequate forces.
No amount of pleading and con-
ferring could IN itself have pro-
duced this agreement. It is the
product Of the victories which turn
ed the tide of war at Stalingrad,
Ell Alamein, Tunisla and Sicily,
and of the triumphantly success
full mobilization of Allied and, not
least among them, American pow
er.
And, therefore, though it. is true
to say that ''the common under
standing which We have here
Raced guarantees that victory
will be ours it is equally true
that because the guarantees of vic
tory were in their hands, Messrs.
Roosevelt, Stain, Churchill and
Chang Kai sheK could in these two
conferences reach a common I'M
derstanding. Nations which are
faced with defeat will separate and
quarrel, as We can see in the case
of Germany ana Italy and the sat-
elites of the Axis.
Though the Allied leaders made
no specific declarations at Teher-
an like those at Cairo, except
the pledge 10 Iran, the atmosphere
of confidence in the postwar set

ments on Il the difficult questions
of the settlement. But there can
be little doubt that when they left
Teheran, they felt certain that
they would be able to agree.
This confidence, Which could not
be diplomatic pretense, undoubt-
eddy rests upon the conviction of
each of the leaSers that the vital
interests of his country are now
secure, ana that, therefore, they
have no reason 10 divldt. and quar-

from the confidence of strength.
Their tone is quite different from
the nervous anxiety which has
pervadea Allied diplomacy in the
Mediterrane an anG ia regard to
Central and Eastern Europe. We
are at the end Of the interlude Of
improvided expedients, of little
deals, OF amateur machiavellism,
which--:ioWever much it may have
been justified by our weakness
was corroding the moral force of
the United Nations.
We are leading again from
strength rather than from weak
ness, from confidence rather than
from fear. For it was made evil
dent first at Cairo and then at
Teheran that we intend to rely
again not upon supposedly clever
manipulation but upon the broadly
world which look to US for lead
national and popular forces of the

loudoun Hen Responds
To Food Boost Appeal

At least one chicken on the farm
of Mr.. and Mrs. z. Mcclellan Brown
in Loudoun County, Va, has taken
to heart the Agriculture Depart
ment's appeal for increased food
production in 1943.
The chicken-a New Hampshire
Red-for several months has been
laying eggs two and three times the
size and weight of normal chicken
eggs, it was revealed today.
Sometimes the eggs have as many
as three yolks, the Browns said.
Formerly of Arlington, they have
been operating Pleasant Valley
Cedar Lane Farm for year.
They have 135 White Rocks and
New Hampshire Reds, which pro-
duce about so dozen eggs a week. All
but the one Red lay normal-sized
eggs.
The Browns are proud of another
possession. They have a year-old
Holstein heifer born with a white
v on her side. She won't end up as
veal at any time soon, they declared.
The Browns plan to plant wheat,
corn and oats this year and de-
spite farm manpower troubles, hope
to produce record crops.
They are looking to big year In
eggs, too.

Virginia Board Delays
Change Of Textbooks
Education Unit Urges
Teacher Pay Boost
BY The Associated Press,

BY he Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, March 27.-The
State Board of Education has post
poned until its April meeting any
change in number of elementary
and high school textbooks.
At meeting yesterday the board
heard a progress report from its
selection committees; authorized
the State Teachers College at Rad
ford to begin Immediately a pro-
gram of instruction of high school
teachers in civil aeronautics and ap-
proved appointments OF several act
ing school superlntendents.
The board adopted resolution
urging Gov. Darden to "go as far as
possible" in providing funds for in
creased pay to teachers, but made
no mention of a special session of
the General Assembly for that pur-
pose.
Dabney S, Lancaster said reports
from the Teachers College at Rad
ford, Mary Washington at Fred
ericksburg and Madison at Harri-
sonburg, indicated that all expect
difficulty in keeping their present
enrolment, due to financial reasons
and loss of personnel.
The Radford College was author
lied to accept a grant from the AL
fred P. Sloan Foundation to study
the effectiveness of work done by
public schools in communities yet
to be selected.
