Military operations to drive Japanese forces from China and an intensification of air attacks on the islands of Japan were fore- shadowed by the president when he filled in some of the details of the victory blueprint he and Prime Minister Churchill drafted at Cas- ablance.

In a radio speech, the first he has made since his return from the North African conference, the president declared that no battle zone in the world will be neglected in the grand i943 strategy to force Germany, Ital and Japan to ac- cept uncondltonal surrender.

Speaking at the annual dinner of the White House Correspond- ents Associntion before the news- DT-Dermen who report the daily events of his official life, Mr. Roosevelt referred to the wartime indisolubillty of the United Nations and "the utter neomsity of our standing together after the war to secure a peace based on principles of permanence.”
