CAROLINA QUEBEC CONFERENCE Maps Vigorous Allied Program Roosevelt and Churchill Indicate War Upon Japan Was Chief Topic; Meeting With Russians at Early Date Forecast Quebec, Aug. 24. ? President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill closed their j sixth war council today with a j promise of vigorous "forward ac-J tion" against the Axis, particul arly Japan, and an indirect pro posal for an early tripartite meet ing with Russia, presumably on a western front In Europe. The two leaders, who will make internationally broadcast addresses this week, issued a ? joint statement regarded as the "DeclraatiOn of Quebec," and al-j so held a joint press and radio [ conference on the terrace outside the historic Citadel, high above the St. Lawrence River. High Spots High spots of the conference with newsmen, at which ques tioning was barred: ? 1 ? New blows have been pre pared for the assault on Japan and to bring "effective aid to China" following conferences with Chi nese Foregn Minister T. V. Soong. '? 2 ? Approval has been given for concerted "forward action of the fleet, Army and air forces of the two nations" in the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and in the Far East. 3? Military action is proceed ing at such a pace that even more frequent meetings than in the past must take place between the Anglo - American strategists, which would be In addition to "any tripartite meeting which It might be possible to arrange with Soviet Russia." 4 ? Soviet Russia will receive "full reports of the decisions so far as they affect the war with Germany and Italy." It was made plain that the conferees' preoccu pation with Japan precluded the presence of Soviet Premier Josef Stalin at the Quebec meeting, since Japan and Russia are at peace. Life and Death 5 ? Despite recent successes in Africa, Italy and the Far East, the war still is a life and death struggle in which the home front is a vital part of the battle. Their Joint statement also pro mised recognition in some form of the French Committee of Lib eration "the later .part of this week." "The whole field of world oper ations has been surveyed in the light of many gratifying events whiGh have taken place since the meeting of the President and the Prime Minister in Washington at the end of May," the statement said, "and the necessary decis ions have been taken to provide for the forward actions of the fleet, Army and air forces of the two nations." The statement pointed out that "it may, however, be stated that the military discussions of the chiefs of staff turned very largely upon the war against Japan and the bringing of effective aid to China." It also asserted that an agree ment was reached upon the po litical issues underlying or aris ing out of the military opera tions. Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill may elaborate on their statement ? during thei(. separate radio talks. i The President spoke Wednesday \ from the steps of the Canadian ^parliament building in Ottawa, \ j parts of his speech will be found 1 In another column), and Church ill is scheduled to make his ra dio talk sometime Saturday. It has not been disclosed from where he will speak. o ?On P?y Day, Buy Bond* ? PROGRAM AT TU?

Leaders Are Told Now Is Time To Quit States Plans Mapped At Quebec To Spell Ruin of Axis Regimes Ottawa, Aug. 25. ? President Roosevelt, promising that the United Nations will rid the world "once and for all" of interna tional "gangsterism," said today that If the Axis generals knew what had been planned at Que bec they would realize that "sur render would pay them better now than late*/' ? "Sometimes I wish that great master *of intuition, the Nazi leader, could have been presetft In spirit at the Quebec confer ence," Mr. Roosevelt said. "If he and his generals had known our plans they would have realized that discretion is still the better part of valor and that surrender would pay them better now than later." On the plaza before the en trance of the Parliament1 Build ings the Chief Executive, flanked by# Prime Minister W. L. Mac kenzie King and the Earl of Ath lone, Governor General of Cana da, promised the elimination of "outlaws" from the community of nations. \ - Mr. Roosevelt, making the first visit of an American President to the Canadian capital, said that the Quebec conference in addition to plotting new methods of mili tary destruction of the Axis, also went into post-war problems on u world-wide basis. This was the major theme of his speech, aside from lavish praise for Canada and its part in the war effort. Condemning the Nazis for their "evil . . . inability" to under stand the rights of their fellow men and the "fanatical militar ists of Japan' for similar brutal qualities, Mr. Roosevelt told an audience which included 200 members of the Canadia Parlia ment and some 50,000 citizens of Ottawa that: "We have been forced to call out the "Sheriff's posse to break up the gang in order that gang sterism may be elejninated in the comunity of nations. "We are making sure ? abso lutely irrevocably sure ? that this time the lesson is driven home to them once and for all. We are going to be rid of outlaws this time." Post-War i'lniis Studied Citing unanimous belief among the United Nations that only "a real and lasting ' peace" coutd justify the sacrifices of the pres ent war, the Chief Executive said the post-war world was discussed in Quebec, but he offered no de tails of the discussions except to say they probably were duplica ted In dozens of nations and hun dreds of cities all over the world. Mr. Rosevelt was optimistic about the movement of the war in the Pacific, turning his scorn on those Americans and Cana dians who wanted to withdraw our forces from the Atlantic and Mediterranean when the Japanes first Invaded "a few rocky specks In the Aleutians.", He supported his scorn by re calling the recent elimination of Japanese forces from Klska and Attu. "We have been told," he add ed, "that Japs never surrender; their headlong retreat satisfies us just as well." Mr. Roosevelt devoted much of his address of about 15 minutes to Canada and her participation in the war,- praising the manner in which Canadians and Ameri cans have fought "shoulder to shoulder" as they worked and played together in peace. Canadian Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King, in introduc ing the Chief Executive, hailed him as "undaunted champion of the rights of free men and a mighty leader of the forces of freedom in a world at war." King forecast a substantial ad vance toward "complete victory as a result of the Quebec confer ences where he was host. ? Avoiding any detailed descrip tion of a'dvance plans for the war, the President devoted himself largely to the broad moral prin ciples of the four freedoms and the Atlantic Charter. He promised that unanimous actios in clearing the world of savage outlaws and keeping them "under heel forever'' would achieve "freedom from fear of violence.' V ; , Hits At Critics Professing ? "everlasting" anger (Continued on Pace Eight) I IKST l'KKSIIIKXT TO VISIT CANADIAN CAPITOL President Roosevelt, after his conference with Prime Minister Churchill at Quebec, was the first United States President ever to visit the Canadian Capitol while in office. ~ CEILING RISE DOUBTFUL Delegation Asks Four-Cent Increase at Conference; OP A Says Prices 'Fair' Washington, Aug. 25. ? Nearly 100 business and political leaders of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina made a concerted appeal to the Office of Price Ad ministration (OPA) today for a higher ceiling price on flue-cured tobacco, but they received slight encouragement. Meredith S. Kohlberg. head of the OPA food price division's to bacco section, did not make a li nal decision immediately, but throughout a day-long conference maintained that present prices were "fair to all growers." In addition. Reed Dickerson of the OPA legal staff, declared "it IS gravely doubtful if we can in crease the prices." He contend ed tobacco was a cost-of-living item and thus bound by Presi dent Roosevelt's "hold-the-line" order on prices. Kohlberg promised a ruling on the matter "as soon as possible," however, and said he would con fer tomorrow with tobacco com pany representatives concerning the problem. Flue-cured tobacco 'Is used chiefly in majcing cigar ettes. Despite the opinions voiced by the OPA officials, Governor Col gate Darden, Jr., of Virginia said the outlook for a price boost was "encouraging" and that he was optimistic about such action. Rat Killing Campaign It has been proposed that a campaign for rat extermination, to be sponsored by the Civilian Council of Defense, and under the direction of the County, and school agricultural forces, be put on in Franklin County during the next sixty days. The State and Federal agencies will cooperate and furnish at cost a poison (harmless to domestic animals) and the estimated cost to the av erage farm will be approximately *2.00. Unless the farmers in the county are sufficiently Interested in this project to cooperate whole heartedly we would not care to put on this campaign. If you are interested, please contact the County Farm Agent, your school teacher or this office, but please act as early as possible. E. H. Malone, Chairman Civilian Defense Council. ? o SPECIAL MASON IC MEETING Worshipful Master John F. Matthews -of the Louisburg Ma sonic Lodge, states that at the Special meeting at the Armory Tuesday night, there will be five candidates for the third degree and will be raised by the Hiram Lodge No. 40 degree team of Raleigh, and the lecture will be delivered by W. R. Smith. o FIRST BALE OF COTTON The first bale of cotton from the 1943 season was ginned Aug. 25th by the Franklin Seed Co., for Mrs. C. B. Kearney and George Bullock, weighing 450 pounds. It was sold to A. W. Person at premium of one cent per pound or 22 1-2 cents. The first bale ginned last sea son was on August 27th. ? o ' Canneries at Oastonla, Cherry vllle, and Shelby have been aver aging about 1,500 cans of vege tables per day with less than one per cent spoilage. TOBACCO AVER AGES 40 CENTS | - ... GROWERS NOT SATISFIED Low Grades up $3 to $19, Better Leaf Down; Farm ers Await Developments Of Conference in Wash ton; 7,000,000 Pounds Sold Some 7,000,0ou pounds of to bacco went under the auctioneer's hammer on the 14 markets of the Eastern Carolina belt Tuesday, and although the general aver tag^s were around the $40 per j hundred mark ? the results were not altogether pleasing to the j growers. Average prices appeared last, night to be slightly under the *41 per hundred "weighted aver age" ceiling as set by the OPA. Some markets in sections where the crop was good reported aver-| ages up around $42, but others | had averages of $38 and $39 per hundred. On the whole, there was no] complaint about prices paid for common and medium grades, but! dissatisfaction with returns on I better grades was expressed fromj most points. Lower Grades Up The War Food Administration i reported that opening day's sales showed decided average price in creases on lower quality leaf, but j decreases of from $1 to $2 a hundred for quality offerings as I compared with the first day's sales of 1942. .Increases on lower grades ranged from $3 to $19, the WFA said. Last year the Eastern Carolina ! markets sold 6,9X0.2*4 pounds for an, average of $36.94. The opening day's average in 1941 was $27.75. Average prices yesterday ap peared to be about the same as those paid out earlier in the sea son on the Georgia-Florida belt, where tobacco offered for sale is ungraded and untied. Early re ports indicated, however, that the average for the belt as a whole will be slightly under averages recorded on the Border Belt mar kets of this State. Full sales were reported from all auction centers, although mar ket officials expressed the belief I that many growers will withhold their offerings until the first of next week in order to see just what will result from today's con ference between government of ficials 1 from tobacco-growing states and OPA officials in Wash ington. GOLF TOURNAMENT FOR JOHNSON CUP Dr. A. Paul Bagby and Gaither Beam, Sr. are tied for low score in the. Johnson tournament. Their net^score is 71. Prof. Moon is next with a net score of 76.
