the Chicago United Nations Com

Referring to the Italian war stu
alton, Mr.. Wallace said it Indicates
to all of us peace is closer than
most OF us thought some months
ago I personally went on record a
year ago as saying if we had all-out
production, as the Russians do, we
would have victory in l943.
Il am not sure we are all-out the
way the Russians are. We have
oone most extraordinary Job of
production, but it isn't as. if we had
the enemy at our gates" he said.
The Vice President had just COM
pleted an extensive tour of his home
State OF Iowa, in which, he said, he
had covered about 20 cities and had
talked with farmers in many coun-
ties. The general feeling among the
farmers seemed to be one of weari-
ness Mr.. Wallace said.
The farmers have been working
hard, they are beginning to feel
weary, and they are beginning to
think they are bearing too much of
the burden and are feeling abused
Mr.. Wallace observed.
He said the farmers should think
about those who have had no in
crease in income yet must pay high
er prices-teachers, ministers and
professional workers.
In comparing the farmers hard
ships with those of war workers.
Mr., Wallace said the farmer would
be lot happier If he realized war
workers are doing their share, suf-
fering comparable hardships with

Hungarian Premier
Reported Dismissed

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The
Brazzaville radio said yesterday in
a French language broadcast re-
corded by Government monitors
that Admiral Nicholas Horthy, re-
gent of Hungary, had dismissed
Premier Nicholas Won Kallay.
There probably will be an i'm
portant announcement shortly by
the government, said the station in
French Equatorial Africa. Won Kali
lay had been Premier since March,
1912.
The Brazzaville broadcast was not
confirmed from any other quarter
but there have been frequent re-
ports recently of Hungarian moves
toward peace with the Allies and
increasing resistance to German de-
mands for increased war commit
ments.
Another such report came from
Stockholm. Hungarians in that neu-
trail capital were said to hold that
their country's leaders would with
draw now from the alliance with
Germany. They said that Italys
action in breaking the Axis bloc
freed Hungary as signatory of the
tri-partite pact.
Won Kallay's recent speeches have
indicated ne was one of those favor
ing peace, and 1t was possible that
German pressure had forced Regent
/ Horthy to dismiss him.
