MOSCOW, Nov. 6.-Maximum
shortening of the war by the joint
efforts of the Allied countries, a
stable, durable peace and universal
security based on the fruitful CO.
operation of the Allied great powers
such Is general formula in which
the results of the recently concluded
Moscow conference of the Foreign
Secretaries of the United States,
United Kingdom and Soviet Union
may be summed up.
This general formula describes, as
it were, the general trend of the
work done. But if we 60 into it in
detail we get an impressive and
inspiring picture of big job well
done. embracing whole gamut of
problems from the most urgently
vital-namely. those covering prose
cution of the war-to iong-term
problems of postwar cooperation
based on a practical solution Of
questions arising in the course OF
the war.
The agenda of the conference,
which included all questions sub
mitted by the governments rep
resented, was dictated by realities.
Naturally, the activities of the con-
ference were organically connected
with The situations which have
arisen in the course of the war.
Shortening War First Aim.
The brilliant victories of the Red
Army, which has forced the Dnieper
bottled up the Hitlerite bandits in
the Crimea and is driving the Ger
mans westward; the successful op-
erationS of the Allies in the land
sea and air. the already observable
disintegration of the Hitlerite coali-
ton; the growth of anti-Hitler and
national liberation movements in
occupied countries: and at the same
time the incredible piling up OF
brutal terrorism, bloody atrocities
ana savage crimes which the Hit
lerlfe ruffians are perpetrating as
they retreat before the armies of
the llberating powers-theSe are the
factors which make the problem of
haStenine the termination of the war
SO urgently essential.
1t is no wonder. therefore. that
the conference considered shorten
ing the war as its first aim. It is
no wonder this question headed the
agenda And the practical decisions
adopted undoubtedly will soon make
their effects felt
Postwar problems We're widely dis
cuSSed. The result. as we know, was a
declaration by four states. America
Britain. Russia, China of universal
security. The significance of this
declaration lies in the fact that the
biggest powers i'll the world. inspired
BY a lofty desire to ensure peace
and security for all nations and
countries, are assuming responsible
lty for all necessary measures to
achieve this aim.
The declaration Of the four powers
lays the foundation for dura bic
postwar collaboration. with the OBJ

VerSal security.
Provisions For Consultation.
But there are problems arising IN
the course OF the war which call
Tor quick settlement This neCeSsi-
tateS permanent consultation be-
tween the Allied powers. The con-
terence met this need by setting UP
European advisory commission.
Another and very striking instance
OF the settlement OF problems
arising i'll the course of the war is
the decision TO form an advisory
council for Italy ana the declaration
OF a common policy toward Italy.
The decision in regard to this
question was very interesting be-
cause, IN the case Of Italy, the Allies
We're confronted with the necessity
OF giving practical effect to the
principles which animate the free
dom-lovlng nations in their fignt
against Hitler tyranny.
Italy was the first country to
capitulate to the anti Hitler coal

Measures for Restoring Liberties.
