When the British and United States executives get together and discuss the problems of war and peace it is a clear indication of a real alliance between the two nations. Churchill and Roosevelt must, have had a real talk-fest, one of the most momentous ever held in the history of the world. They undoubtedly discussed the pros and cons of any possible action to be taken by either nation. There was outstandingly the Japanese situation,, the battle of the Atlantic, the Defence of Britain, the all out for Russia campaign, the French situation and possibly the Turkish problem. All of these are outstanding and must have come under the preview of the two grea leaders. We may never know all the possibilities of that conference. The results will develop from time to time. It is satisfactory to know that the conference has taken place and that the big men have found.it possible to. get together with a view to settling some of the momentous problems of the day. It is an indication that they will collaborate when the last shot has been fired and the work of reconstruction commences. Or possibly it is an indication that the work of reconstruction has already commenced.

"We were searching fof a sigiv the- Belgians could put up everywhere to worry the Nazis," he said. "Finally we agreed it had to be one with the same meaning in French, Flemish and English.

Partly For France - - - . vidently the announcement of peace aims by Churchill and Roosevelt must have.a considerable effect on public opinion m France. The rulers of tlwt countiy have just announced that they are out and- out with Germany. The' marked difference between the allied policy and that of Germany must strike the French people as being markedly favorable to them as a people. They are a defeated nation and have not yet heard the peace terms that are to be given them by Hitler. All they have had. is an armistice agreement but the final terms.are yet to be announced if Germany should win and there will not be much liberty for France if that should sappen. Under the British and American terms they are assured a square deal. CLOTHING IN RATION British. Government To Stop i'fkefjln Second-Hanit Stockings And Other, Clothes LONDON.
