Nazis Withdraw to Neqv Defense
Conference in
Moscow win
decide. Future

Washington. Sept, 20-INS -
Highly authoritative sources in
Washington believe TODAY that the
future destiny OF the World will
be at stake in the meeting to be
held in Moscow next month be
tween American, British and So
Wet diplomatic representatives.
II Is believed the Moscow meet
ing will determine whether Russia
+ is prepared 10 cooperate with the
United States and Great Britain in
establishing a better world order
after the war, or whether Soviet
Premier Joseph Stain is intent on
Russian domination OF the political
future Of Europe
II Russia is disposed to join with
the United States and Britain in
laying the foundation for a sane
society OF nations based on the
principal OF international order un-
der Law American officials think
the prospects for lasting peace will
be bright.
II, IN the other hand, the meet.
ing indicates that Stain Is lie
termined to play a lone hand in
international affairs. there are
many in Washington who fear the
seeds Of third world war will be
sown.
To Affect Orient
Although the Moscow meeting 5
intended 70 deal primarily with
European affairs, official Washing
ton believes its outcome will
have definite effect on the polite
al attitude OF the Orient.
1t is no secret in diplomatic cir
cles that some elements in China
are mere fearful Of future Soviet
move 10 communize that country
than they are OF Japanese imperial
ism. These elements are known
to believe they might make a com
promise deal with Japan that would
save at least some OF their inte"-
ests. whereas they fear they would
lose everything II Communism
swept China.
Therefore. II the Moscow meet
ing shows that Stain is definitely
prepared to abandon international
Communism. 1t il thought China
will b. encouraged TO make an all
out effort to defeat Japan.
The State Department is now
concentrating its attention on pre-
parations for the tri-power con-
ference. which Secretary OF State
Corde'l Hull and his associates be-
lieve will be the most important
Allied diplomatic meeting thus far
held.
