the
United
Nations
substantially
agreed
on
general
objectives
for
the
post-war
world,
but
warned
that
the
Important
thing
at
present
Is
to
win
the
war.
Yet
he
did
outline
a
specific
six-
point
plan
for
taking
care
of
members
of
the
United
States
armed
forces
after
the
war.
Ihese
included
mustering
out
pay
until
the
soldier
has
found
a
job,
unemployment
insurance,
opportunity
for
further
educa
tion,
credit
allowance
under

employment
compensa-
satlon
an$
old
age
Insurance
for
period
of
service,
and
broader
provisions
for
hospital
care,
and
sufficient
pensions
for
disabled
veterans.
During
his
address
the
President"
annoOTicedlhe
"end
of
coffee
rationing
for
civilians
in
the
United
States
and
a
probable
increase
in
sugar
allotments.
He
attributed
these
moves
to
the
vast
increase
in
available
shipping
space,
and
greater
success
I
in
the
U-boat
war.
President
Roosevelt,
speaking
of
the
Pacific
situation,
said
"we
are
now
pushing
the
Jap3
around
from
the
Aleutians
to
New
Guinea."
The
Japanese
would
be
given
no
opportunity
to
consolidate
already
over-extended
lines
and
would
eventu
ally
be
defeated
in
a
war
of
at
trition.
There
was
a
long
way
to
go
yet
in
the
war
and
the
President
suggested
1943
as
an
unduly
optimistic
estimate
for
the
end
of
the
war
while
1949
was
unduly
pessimistic.

Annette
Woods,
Back
From
East,
Speaks
of
Business
Conditions
and
Styles
The
highlight
of
a
seven
weeks'
trip
as
far
east
as
Montreal
from
which
Mrs.
Jack
(Annette)
Woods
has
just
returned
was
a
delightful
sail
through
the
Great
Lakes
between
Port
Arthur
and
Sarnla
both
coming
and
going.
It
was
a
most
enjoyable
break
in
the
long
train
jonrney.
Mrs.
Woods,
speaking
of
busi
ness
generally
in
the
east,
found
a
great
demana
lor
an
ciotnmgs,
a
demand
which
it
Is
very
difficult
to
cope
with
In
view
of
the
shortage
of
goods
and
help.
The
local
business
woman
found
the
Wartime
Prices
and
Trade
Board
heads
in
the
East
ready
to
admit
the
increased
population
of
Prince
Rupert
and
to
co-operate
in
making
larger
quitas
of
goods
available
for
here
In
view
of
the
situation.
Speaking
of
styles,
Annette
says
that
very
few
crepe
dresses
are
available,
the
alternative
being
fine
sheer
wools
with
bright
and
vivid
shades.
Manufacturing
of
children's
wear
Is
almost
discontinued.
