peace"
These included question of the
treatment OF Germany and its satel-
ites, economic relations among the

Mr.. Hull then said:
The conference launched a for
ward movement which, I am firmly
convinced, will steadily extend in
scope and effectiveness"
Mr.. Hull said he went to Moscow
at Mr.. Roosevelt's direction, and
there he found greater determma-
ton than he had at any other
conference on the part of the par
ticipants to reach mutual under
standing and confidence.
From the outset" he said, "The
dominant thought at the conference
was that after the attainment of
victory, cooperation among peace
loving nations in support of certain
paramount mutual interests will be
almost as compelling in Importance
and necessity as it is today in sup
port of the war effort"

many of the new problems which
would arise out Of such develop
ments as the collapse of Italy.
Important agreements were
reached, but there were no secret
agreements, and none was sug-
gested."

that the nations winning the war
will, along with other peacefully
minded nations, continue to per-
form their full part in solving the

sovereign equality of all peace
loving states and open to member
ship by all such states, large and
small
He declared this principle will be
the foundation stone on which the
future international organization
will be built.
Nowhere, he said, has the concep-
ton of sovereign equality been an

Mr., Hull said military discussions
which took place in Moscow were
aimed at closer cooperation.

tribute to the efficiency of Foreign
Commlssar V. M. Molotov. who ar
ranged for the business of the con-
ference, and to Britain's Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden for his
qualities of craftsmanship.

great statesmen and leaders of this
age" Mr.. Hull said, adding that
he was deeply impressed by the Rus

patriotism.
