use of lime, triple superphosphate,
and pasture grass and a refrost
ing program were points of special

Aims Program
British Leaders
Announcement Of Parley
Made In Three Capitals
Simultaneously
Joint announcement was ''made
today in London, Washington and
Ottawa, Canada that President
Roosevelt, and British Prime M in
ister Winston ..Churchill had met
on "the calm blue' sea" of the At
lantic for .the weekend. A joint
U. S.-Hrilish 8-p.oint declaration oi
peace aims was ..'the result of 'their
conferences. Their exact meeting
place was not disclosed.
The ' announcement confirmed
rumors that the 'meeting was taking,
place, but the whereabouts and
movements of the tw'o leaders of
the world's democracy have been
shrouded in secrecy during the past
week.
Mr. Roosevelt .; ami' ! Mr." Churc
hill were accompanied ... by their
ranking ; military, naval and air
advisors, it was stated. Lord Beav- v
erbrook was one of the number,
and it is' announced that he will
proceed to : Washington for fur
ther talks, on war aid ' to Britain
and Russia.
The historic meeting resulted in
a joint declaration of policy em
bodying eight separate points, in
cluding the disarmament of' the
Axis powers after the war. The
two leaders joined in a pledge to
achieve 'final destruction of Nai
tyranny.'
Following are .the '. eight. ' points
upon which the president and
prime minister 'pin their hopes for
a "better future for the world."
Eight Point Program Fr Peace
1. That " the countries seek no
"aggrandizement, territorial or oth
er;" ' : .;
2. "They desire to see no ter
ritorial changes that. do not accord
with the freely expressed wishes
of the peoples concerned."
3. 'They respect the rights of all
peoples to choose the form of gov
ernment under which they will live",
and wish to see restoration of
"sovereign rights and self-government"
to those "forcibly deprived
of them."
4. They, will endeavor to further
the "enjoyment" of the trade and
raw materials of the world by all
states "great or small, victor or
vanquished."
5. "They desire to bring about
the fullest collaboration between
all nations" on the economic front.
to secure for all "improved labor
standards, economic advancement
and social security."
6. After "the final destruction of
the Nazi tyranny" the two coun
tries hope to see a peace which
will assure to all nations the
"means of dwelling in safety with
in their own boundaries." . .
7. That such a peace should as
sure the freedom of the seas
"without hindrance" to all men.
8. That all nations must come to
abandonment of the use of force
and that since no future peace can
be maintained unles,s aggressor na
tions are disarmed "the disarma
ment of such nations is essential."
The declaration of aims bore the
signatures of Mr. Roosevelt and
Churchill. '
So-far as is known, -Mr. Roose
velt is still at sea somewhere off
the New England coast. For more,
than a week the world has specu
lated as .to whether Roosevelt and
Churchill really were meeting.' It
is even conjectured that a "leak"
permitting such speculation was. in
