JAPAN'S DEATH
BEING PLOTTED

QUEBEC, Sept. 12.- R -Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill, in conference with the
highest military experts oft h Ell r
nations, got down today to the
real business" of the Quebec war
contemplating the utter destruc-
ton OF Japan's dwindling power.
For the second successive day
all possible official stress was laid
on the idea that the deliberations
here are predominantly military
and directed chiefly at crushing
Japan.
But Mr.. Roosevelt's map room
in the governor generals resi-
dence mirrowed the march Of Al
lied armies everywhere and was
not confined to the Pacific theater.
The president and Prime Minis
ter talked privately during h e
morning. They posed for pictures
and Churchill watched Mrs. Roose-
welt put Fala, the White House
Scottie, through some typical dog
tricks. Then they called in their
army, navy and air commanders
for an afternoon session with maps
and papers behind the thick, stone
walls of Quebec's old citadel. Aft
erward the chiefs of staff returned
to their Chateau Frontenac' Head
quarters to prepare specific rec
concentrations for action.
The strategy of tn ecentral Pa
cific apparently was perfected long
ago. Evidence that it is in opera
ton may be seen in the increased
tempo of softening up aerial as
saults on the Philippines.
With Formosa and the eastern
bulge of China perhaps the next
detectives, there was reason to sus-
pect that the conference here was
devoted Largely to working out ar
rang ments for two things.
Closing the gap between Allied
| forces in the Netherlands. East In.
dies and those in; Ceylon, India
and Burma. H.
Is Stepping UP, British participation
in the Asiatic fighting, in fulfill
ments of commitments Churchill
has made publicly. once Germany
is hammered to her knees.
The presence here. Of Lord Leath-
ers,. British war transport minister,
gave support to the possibility that
consideration was being given to
the problem of massing sufficient
British shipping for ultimate trans
fer of large. segments of Britain S
fighting forces to the Far East.

1t was pointed out by Nichols
and Lane that there are adequate
facilities at the abandoned army
camp inland from Carolina Beach
OH the old Fort Fisher road, ap-
proximately IL miles from the pres
ent prison camp site on the Caro-
lima Beach road to house as many
as 5000 prisoners.
The only argument expected to
arise from such plan is the
fact that there is no central heat
ing unit at this site. Each indivi.
dual house is heated by separate
stove.
Nevertheless, the city manager
and the mayor said tina. if such
an arrangement isgood enough for
American soldiers, recently evacu-
ated from the camp, they could see
no reason why war prisoners
should not accept the same hous.
ings.
The matters has not been made
an issue, however, and the fertiliZ-
err dealers who appear at the coun-
Gil meeting today are expected to
bring plans in accordance with their
previous petition that the Marine
hospital site be used for war pris-
oners. They previously said that
the present site on the Carolina
Beach road is too small to ade-
quately care for a large number Of
prisoners. There are now about 28C
German prisoners in the camp.
The decision on the results of the
prolonged hearing held severa.
weeks ago by the council concern.
ling the application of the Atlanta
Cafe, 925 North Fourth street, fol-
a beer and wine sales license, also
is expected to come before h {
group today. Mayor Lane said last
night that if the matter arose
there probably would be little time
for other business.
The council previously denied the
application to the concern, but fol
lowing appeal by the. establish
ment's attorneys, the hearing was
granted.
Due to the decision several weeks
ago of William A. Stewart not tc
accept the position of juvenile
Judge, this matter may also be
brought to the attention of h G
council today. However, Mayor
Lane said last night that he did
not expect the appointment of a
new juvenile judge at the meeting
today.
