QUEBEC, Aug. 11.—(AP)-
Within the ancient battle-
ments of an obsolete fortress,
the prime ministers of Britain
and Canada surveyed today
the heartening successes of
Allied stabs at the Axis and
the strategy needed to expand
them into assaults designed
• attain a total victory.
The conferences between Winston
Churchill of Britain and W. L. Mac-
Kenzie King of Canada and their
chiefs of staff were a prelude to
later discusisons between Churchill |
ad President Roosevelt and Brit-
ish-American military experts.
HISTORIC SETTING

of a wartime cossing of the Atlan-
tie for war talks which appeared

He arrived in Quebec late Tues-
day and drove to the citadel tower-

city. There, in the fortress which is
a relic of the days when the French
ruled a goodly segment of North
America, he and Mackenzie King
began their deliberations last night,

LONDON, Aug. 11.—(P)—Prime
Minister Churchill's journey across
the Atlantic for his sixth wartime
meeting with President Roosevelt
stirred spontaneous and optimistic
talk in London today of a "victory-
this-year" assault on Europe.
Virtually unanimous agree-
ment was expressed on all sides
that the Allied chieftains were
getting together to lay final
plans for the grand offensive
in theaters of war other than
the Mediterranean, where over-
whelming Allied military might
has already asserted itself.
The presence of Britain's top-
flight military men with Chur-
chill in Quebec led to one conclu-
sion—that United States, British
and Dominion forces would soon be
storming the European continent
from many directions in fulfillment
of Churchill's own prediction of a
combined action before winter.

Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's
newspaper, the Yorkshire Post, said
it was understoon, however, that
he had been invited but was un-

Stalin was being informed of de-

Declaring that the problem fac-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—(UP)-
President Roosevelt, preparing for

with Prime Minister Winston
Churchill, today summoned mem-
bers of the Pacific War council to
a noon meeting at the White House.
The President, it was assumed,
felt it advisable to discuss with the
Euncil members recent and forth-
coming events in the Pacific which
are expected to loom large on the
list of strategic subjects he will take
up later with Churchill.
It was believed that the fast-

the Far East will be surveyed in
greater detail than ever before at
the scheduled sixth conference be-
tween Mr. Roosevelt and the Brit-
ish prime minister.
China, though it will not be rep-

the Pacific War council here: Other
members include the United States,
