Roosevelt Assurance
OF Freedom Of Action
AT Farley Reported
Ey the Associated Press.

ES the Ass SJclated Press.
President Roosevelt was reported
to have assured United States dele
gates yesterday they would have.
much freedom of action to chart
this country's course at the San
Francisco World Security Confer
ence.
The President talked briefly to
five of the eight members of the
American group at the White House
after the delegates had conferred
with Undersecretary of State Joseph
c. Grew. Secretary IF State Stet-
tinius, former Secretary Cordell Hull
and Comdr. Harold e. Statssen were
absent.
Delegates apparently came away
from the White House with the i'm
prassion that Mr.. Roosevelt intends
to leave largely to them the evolu-
tion of this countrys program at the
April conference. This was with
the understanding that they will
work within the general framework
of the Dumbarton Oaks preliminary
formula.
Inc Dig Infee security agreements
made at Yalta and elsewhere were
said to be regarded by the President
AS projected solutions of pressing
security problems which are open to
modification if it becomes apparent
such action is necessary to bring
about conference harmony.
In other words. the delegates were
given to understand that they do
not have to accept such agreements
as that involving the voting pro-
cedure of the proposed security
council as final and not alterable.
The group probably will meet
again next week to begin work on
a series of proposed amendments to
the Dumbarton Oaks formula filed
by Senator Vandenberg, Republi-
can, of Michigan. Most of these
were described as clarifying and
technical in nature, but one would
open the way to possible future
assessment by the peace-keeping
league of wartime political decisions.
In another development, the Chi
nese Communist wireless at Yenan
said yesterday that a telegraphic
appeal had gone out to President
Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill
and Premier Stain for separate
Chinese Communist representatives
at the San Francisco World Sc
curity Conference.

Declares China
Has LoWered Rate
of Uliterates
BY Catherine X. Hambley

Approximately 5000 600 Chinese
have learned to read and write since
the start of the war in Asia, Nine
Chu Shih-ming, wife of the Chinese
Military Attache, told members of
the District Farm and Garden As
sociation yesterday.
The Wellesley graduate explained
that, in spite of war, China has car
ried on badly needed educational
program. Pointing out that IS per
cent Of the population and 95 per
cent OF the 100000, 600 women are
illiterate, the speaker added that
great strides in alleviating the con-
dition have been made by the New
Life Movement of China. Nine. Chu
was associated for two years with
the movements Women's Advisory
Committee. AS part of the project,
college and high school students
have gone out during their vacations
to the rural districts where they
have taught farmers the 1000 char
acters. Any intelligent adult or
child can learn this simplified Chi
nese between three to six months.
At the end of the course, pupils are
presented a certificate and made to
promise that in turn they will teach
some one else.
The desperate need to teach wom-
en- trades became apparent when jap
aggression forced 50,000000 dispos-
sessed refugees to move 1000 miles
from coastal areas to the unknown
hlnterland. Many women had
scarcely ever needed to venture more
than miles from their wall-in
homes before. Though they were
shy and backward and lacked
schooling, these women had the
benefit of a thorough and rigid
home training which made them
adaptable to their new conditions
to a remarkable degree. However.
in their uprooted state, it was
necessary to train them to be self
sufficient. Their adaptability, Nine.
Gnu continued, stems from inbred
determination to make the most of a
situation. This has been ingrained
In Chinese women through genera
tions OF the marriage system where
by girls must be mentally prepared
to adjust themselves into marital
situations beyond their control.
After refugees arrived in China S
hlnterland. the New Life Move
ment trained college and technics
school graduates and sent them to
the provinces where they organized
branches of the Women's Advisory
Committee. Trained workers went
out in their simple, green uniforms
and helped refugee women handle
problems Of their new life.
These women are taught health
and sanitation as we'll as trades.
Emphasis of the educational pro-
gram is placed on nationalism in
lieu of the family unit.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. r. Winston Holt.

Navy Can Forces
Until Defeat Of Japs,
Admiral King Asserts
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
There will be no partial demobi-
lization of the Navy when Germany
is defeated, says Admiral Ernest j.
King, because "all naval forces are
required to prosecute the war in the
Pacific"
Admiral King, chief of naval
operations and commander in chief
of the fleet, said yesterday:
1T is the intent to shift to the
Pacific all naval power now devoted
to the war in Europe and in the
Atlantic as soon as may be. This
shift must be made as expeditiously
as possible, to the end that the war
in the Pacific may be brought to a
successful conclusion at the earliest
possible date"
Admiral King emphasized that "it
is most important for the people of
the country to understand clearly
that the Navy must use every ounce
OF Its strength to hasten the end of
hostilities against Japan. Any half
hearted measures will result in pro-
longing the war and increasing the
loss of American lives"
Demobilization of Army combat
troops is not expected to attain any
substantial proportions Some will
be demobilized, since all troops now
stationed in Europe cannot be de-
ployed against Japan for geograph-
ical reasons.
Troops moving through this coun-
try to the Pacific will receive fur
loughs.
Discharges should not be expected
by soldiers in the Armys Service
Forces and the Air Forces, either air
or ground crews Service troops will
be needed in the Pacific to construct
bases for combat forces. Air Forces
personnel will be needed to intensity
the aerial bombardment of Japan
