ed Churchill's removal as one Of
the essential points of the offer.
Churchill, who planned war
since 1896, and his colleagues who
lent themselves to his war policy,
are not persons with whom the
fuehrer would negotiate" Hess
said.
Then he submitted his six-point
offer:
1-Germany to have a free hand
in all Europe.
2-England to retain her empire
with the exception of all former
German colonies, which were to be
returned to Germany.
3-Russia was to be considered

meets with my entire approval
and satisfaction, and I hope that
it will be possible for such funds
to be made available.
Includes All Ports
In making the announcement
Mr.. Page stressed that the surve,
would include all North Carolina
ports and would not be centered
on any certain one.
He pointed out that all efforts to
advance North Cardinals ports
depend on the grant OF the 10000
for the survey. In case it is not
granted, the Authority will be under
no obligt,on to either the Robert
Of Harris firms as the preliminary
expenses of their work will be
advanced by the federal govern
ment. Their Surveys will include
thorough studies of North Caro-
lina's potential tonnage and reve-
nue., including those out-of-state
areas in Virginia and South Caro-
lima within its ports service areas.
They will also determine the
amount of money needed to con-
struct proper port facilities to put
North Carolina on par with other
Atlantic seaboard states in bid
ding for commerce.
If the grant is made and the
survey completed, the Authority's S
next step will be to obtain the
necessary funds to carry out its
program of port development and
Improvement. Under terms of the
act which it functions, this may be
done by either direct grant from
the federal government or through
the Reconstruction Finance Cor.
poration Or through the sale o1
self-lquidating bonds.
Mr.. Page said the most advan.
tageous of either of these avenues
OF revenue will be followed. Under
the terms of the Authority act
the state may purchase the bonds
as well as cites and counties.
In view of the fact that it is one
one OF the first major steps of the
Authority to develop the states
ports, every effort will be made
to obtain early favorable action or
the application, now before tht
proper officials in Washington. Mr.
Page discussed the matter yester
day with Representative j. Bayarc
Clark, of the Seventh congressional
district, who promised his full sup
port in expediting it through the
proper channels in the FWA or

sestion." In a statement, issued
later Fisher said the effect OF the
committees action is to kill the

privately "this means Mr. Tru-

"Un ted States support will not
extend to United States military
Intervention to influence the
course Of any Chinese internal
strife"
But the modern world knows, he
added, that "a breach OF the peace
anywhere in the world threatens
the peace of the entire world"
The President said this country
would leave details Of steps to-
ward internal unity up to 'the
Chinese themselves. He said in
tervention by this or any other
Foreign contry would be inap-
propriate.'
B-t he made it clear that China
need not expect U. S. Economic
h ir her reconstruction ordeal
unless she. ''moves toward peace
a. -ity along the lines" he sug-
ges.ed
If China does make progress to-
ward Democratic unity, the Presi-
dent said, 'the United States
would be prepared to assist the
National government in every
reasonable way to rehabilitate the
country, improve the agrarian and
industrial economy, and establish
military organization capable
of discharging China's National
and international responsibilities
for the maintenance of peace and
order"
If the Chinese accept his de-
mands that they stop fight ng each
other and achieve unity within
the National government. Mr..
Truman continued the United
States:

favorable consideration to Chi
nese requests for credits and
loans under reasonable conditions
for projects which would contri-
butte toward the development OF
a healthy economy throughout
China and healthy trade relations
between China and the United
States"
In connection with his promise
not to intervene militarilty in
the Chinese Civic war, the Presi-
dent emphasized that this country
would continue to use it's military
strength to disarrn and evacuate
japanese troops and make certain
that Japanese influence in China
is w'-ollv removed"
'This," he said, ''is the purpose
of the ma 'ntenance for the time
being of United States military and
Naval forces in China.''
Mr.. Truman said that in broad
ening the government to include

ton, China would have to change
