_ QUEBEC. Aug. 12-(CP)—The military plans being prepared at the Quebec conference are de- signed “to bomb, burn, .and. ruthlessly. destroy, every way available to us, the people responsible for this war,” Brendan Bracken, British Minister of Information, said here today. A

The plans, now being drafted in the inner re- cesses of the Chateau Frontenac and the Citadel, yvllliibe disclosed to the enemy only on the battle-

ie .

“The time will come,” Mr. Bracken said, “when Hitler, Tojo and their tribes of gangsters will get the news of what is being done in Quebec-but they will get it from Admirals and Generals and Air Marshals and their fighting forces!’

One thing the minister made abundantly clear, “when we have rounded up Hitler, the whole might of the British Empire will be given over to beating the Japanese who are a ruthless and sav- age people."

Mr. Bracken met the press to- day, 24 hours aitrr his arrival from Britain with Anthony Eden, Brit- ish Foreign Secretary. He was vague on the reason ior his flying journey to Quebec, but, on the subject of the war as a whole, he was vuiubig but restrained.

"It is going well," he said, “but it will be long indeed and hard”
