White, general industrial agent of the Seaboard Railway, told the presidents and secretaries of Chambers of Commerce in the CaroHitaa af their session Monday. "Aside from winning- the war," he said, "the question of greatest importance is whether oar economic system can successfully withstand the shock incident to reconversion from a war economy to a normal peacetime basis. If business is given a reasonable degree of latitude, business will accomplish the task. With normal competitive factors allowed reasonable sway, the Carolina* will jorge forward into «n era of prosperity not witnessed before." "On the other hand," Mr. White continued, "if free entes^rise be displaced by arbitrary influences as in totalitarian governments, the abundant assets of the Carolines will profit us but little" . "There will be "Some thirty-odd million war workers and men in the armed services who must be absorbed in private industry; our 85-bill ion dollar annual war prod action must be offset with an equivalent amount of peacetime goods and services." "There are yet untouched opportunities for development of industries in the Carolines," he concluded, "and the only thing to prevent enjoyment of them to the fullest will be failure of the people to reoognize and utilise them. The fault will not be in our stars, but in ourselves if we are underlings." Uncle Moee: Bogs say ah ain't got no time ter fish. Ah h&dda wu'k far raer bread. Yeah, an' ah h&dda fish fer mer meat.

But sgmhurtr he served notice on Italy, and the rest Af the Axis, that the United Nations have but one prieefor peace—"unconditional surrender," and said "We shall not settle for less than total victory." Aa far as Italian peace efforts are concerned, he said, "We will have so track with Fascism in any way, shape of manner. We will permit no vestige of Fascism to remain." Officially proclaiming that the "first crack in the Axis has oome" with the downfall of Mussolini, the President said "the criminal, corrupt Fascist regime in Italy is going to pieces."
