The President and the Prime Minister have had several conferences. They have considered the dangers to world civilisation arising from the policies of military domination by conquest upon which the Hitlerite fovernment of Germany and other governments associated therewith ave embarked, and have made clear the steps which their countries are respectively taking for their safety in the face of these dangers. They have agreed on the following Declarationi The President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister, Mr. Churchill, representing His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, being met together, deem it right to make known certain common principles in the national policies of their respective countries on which they base their hopes for a better future for the world. FIRST, Their countries seek no aggrandizement, territorial ^ . or other; SECOND, They desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned; THIRD, They respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self-government restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them; / FOURTH, They will endeavor, with due respect for their I existing obligations, to further the enjoyment by all States, I great or small, victor or vanquished, of access, on equal terms, to the trade and to the raw materials of the world which are ' ) needed for their economic prosperity; / FIFTH, They desire to bring about the fullest collaboration ' I between all nations in the economic field with the object of I securing, for all, improved labor standards, economic advancement and social security; | SIXTH, After the final destruction of the Nazi tyranny, t they hope to see established a peace which will afford to all I nations the means of dwelling in safety within their own boun- ! daries, and which will afford assurance that all the men in all 1 the lands may live out their lives in freedom from fear and I want; f SEVENTH, Such a peace should enable all men to traversa the high seas and oceans without hindrance; 1 ! EIGHTH, They believe all of the nations of the world, for A realistic as well as spiritual reasons, must come to the abandon- I I ment of the use of force. Since no future peace can be main' tained If land, sea or air armaments continue to be employed 1 by nations which threaten, or may threaten, aggression outside ' ? of their frontiers, they believe, pending the establishment of a J ' { wider and permanent system of general security, that the dis- I armament of guch nations is essential. They will likewise aid '] " and encourage all other practicable measures which will lighten ' \ / for peace-loving peoples the crushing burden of armaments. FRANKLIN D.

Aug. 8.?America may well point wifli pride to the handling of the case against the eight Nazi saboteurs. The work of the Coast (iuard and the FBI in apprehending them, the care with which they were given a fair trial, and the firm, quick action of the supreme court in its ruling all testify to the vitality of American Democracy. The people of I America demanded Justice, but they I did so without hysteria and. with a jdeep trust in their democratic insti; tutious- As a final step the case now is before the President for review. If | the record shows the men to be guilty they should be, and probably will be, shot. Women at War This war is not solely a man's war by any means. Women are playing 'a tremendously important part in (America's victory efforts. And their services are not confined to the limited fields of duty open to women in the first world war. Most courageous of our women at war are the nurses who at Bataan and Corregidor and other terrible fronts have written inspiring chapters I in the history of American heroism. I Hut there are other thousands who are serving unsung in more prosaic calling. There are. for instance, about 40.000 women now employed In productive capacities in the nation's aircraft , manufacturing industry as compared with less than 2,000 about nine (months ago. Women have proved that they can handle almost any job in an alrcratt factory. In this and in many other fields a vast civilian army of women at home is backing up the efforts of men on the battlefronts of I the world, rendering vital material assistance to those who fight. For those who would serve in uniform. the nation has provided the Woman's Army Auxiliary Corps and the Women's Naval Reserve. Members of these two branches will relieve for combat duty men who now are engaged in non-combatant duties. ?????? Thousands of women have given up peace-lime luxuries and leisures and stepped forward to do a mansized Job for the duration. Many of them will gain skills which will stand them in good stead in the peace which must follow this greatest of all conflicts. Gasoline Dr. John W. Frey, of the Office of Petroleum Coordinator for War, writes me that "this office has lnvestigated rumors to the effect that gasoline was being shipped from South Carolina into Tennessee but has been unable to find evidence to support [such rumors. A conviction for such I a violation could result In a $10,000 fine for each offense and two years imprisonment. If anyone has evidence concerning violation of this limitation order, I request that he furnish it to this ofTice in order that we may collect such further evidence as may be necessary in presenting the case to the Department of Justice for prosecution." He goes on to say that "gasoline" stocks in South Carolina must be considered as a part of the whole Fast Coast supply" and that "anyone today who states that the gasoline stocks of the East Coast are excessive is either a victim of alien propaganda or he does not know such facts as are necessary to an understanding problem. The stocks of certain products are dangerously below the, level they should be at this time of the year." Freedom The inquisitive Ben Franklin, testing the lightning with his kite, found in the noisy violence of the storm a secret which illuminated the world. His example suggests that good news is sometimes hidden in bad weather. Today, in the storm which rages across the whole earth, men are sending up their kites to the new lightning to try its possibilities and to prepare for clearing skies. The Four Freedoms guide us all. Freedom of speech and religion, freedom from want and from fear?these belong to all the earth and to all men everywhere. Our own country, with its ideas of equality, is an experiment which has been conducted against great odds and with much patience and. best of all. with some success for most people. It has prospered and brought fresh hope to millions and new good to humanity. Even in the thick of war, the experiment with x)ld values and new forms must go ahead. Life is change. The earth shrinks in upon itself and we adjust to a world in motion, holding fast to the truths as we know them, confident that as long as the love of freedom is in the hearts of men it will show also in their deeds.

Auk. 6.?Max Stephan. first person in IIS years to be convicted of treason in the United States, was sentenced in federal court today to be hanged. U. S. District Judge Arthur J. Tuttle directed that Stephan. Germanborn American citizen, bo hanged on November 13, 1942. within the walls of the federal detention prison at Milan. Mich. Stephan was convicted in federal court here of aiding the flight of a Nazi flier escaped from a Canadian concentration camp, "The life of this trator. Max Stephan, is less valuable than the lives of our loyal sons which are being given in the cause of the United States, said Judge Tuttle in pronouncing sentence. "We have been too soft, to the extent of being mushy. There are too many in the sob squad and too few in the fighting squad. This is no ordinary war. We talk of soldiers and we think of death not in figures of thousands but in figures of millions. If the lives of many of our boys are to be taken to help such a cause, this court should not hesitate to take the life of one traitor if it. in turn, will help that same just cause." Only 12 American cities, including New ^ ork and San Francisco, use as much water in the course of a day as is used daily by one of the big new smokeless powder plants. "Old Lady" Says I He's A Fighter j Columbia, August 8.?The following was received by one of Richland ] county's draft boards by a woman of- 51 fering to make a great pseudo-sacrl- i flee: "Dear Sirs: During the national emergency our country is in great need of men?fighting men, and I have one I'll gladly donate for that "j purpose. He is my husband. "He is a good fighter. He proved that ability in the year and a half < that we were married. As for physical fitness, he is In A-l condition. As for mental fitness, I would not be a Judge. He was twenty last March 30. "He has no dependents. In fact I would have been dead long ago, had I depended on him for food and clpth? j ing.
