But the Soviet constitution has been amended to include those states as parts of the U. S. s. R., despite the fact that the United States still maintains diplomaic relations with them.
 E. Europe Federation
 Eastern Europe Federation Churchill has suggested that a fed- eration of Europe as well as regional federation of eastern European states might be e way of solving many central European post-war problems. The Polish government in-exile recently revived such Q proposed plan. But the Soviet atti- tude was stated forcefully last week In the information bulletin of the Soviet embassy here when 1t referred to all proposals for regional federal tons as "anti-soviet" and "fan- tastic."
 Attitude toward Germany - The Soviet-sponsored free German f1ove- ment was a Stalin invitation to the German people to overthrow their Nazi leaders and sue for peace with the implication that the terms now would be less drastic than after 0 fight to he finish. In conrast to that manifesto, the United States appears no to have quite made up is mind what to do about postwar Germany, although President Roose- welt assured the German people in his latest lend-lease report that they, the people, have nothing to fear from unconditional surrender.

 British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden and Soviet Commissar for Foreign Affairs Viacheslav M. Molo- tOv-presumably would be of @ pre- llrninary nature. They would seek a basis for Q meeting ct which Mir Roosevelt, Churchill and Premier Josef Stailln could thrash out their problems.
 Eden in Conference
 Eden has been conferring with the American ambassador in Lon- don and with Soviet Vice Commis- sar for Foreign Affairs Ivan Maisky, presumably about the foreign min- isters' conference. Hull heartily en- dorsed the proposed conference yes- terday, but was far from specific when asked whether he would at- tend if 1t is held in some foreign city such as London or Moscow. He recalled that last spring he could not accept Eden's invitation to visit london.
 "A big factor that might prevent Hull from leaving Washington was the recent resignation of Undersec- retary of State Sumner Welles.
 However, the State Department is seeking to eliminate the Idea that WelleS' resignation or the reported dissension among factions within the department were the result of American relations with the Soviet Union. It has denied in c formal statement charges that the United States and Great Britain have fail- ed to keep Russia informed on mili- tary and political developments.
 Nevertheless, 1t is acknowledged that the issues on which agreement with Russia is necessary are mani fold. Some quarters pointed out that before agreement on any major issue is possible, the United States and Great Britain must get over the tendency to suspect every move of the Soviet Union and place the most pessimistic interpretation on it Likewise, they said, the Soviet Union must revise its estimate of the Anglo American nations-must fealise that the era of appeasement by the western democracies is over.
 There IS little question about the importance of the political problems involving the Soviet Union, and of the need of @ three-power confer- ence for getting at the roots of them. Some of those problems now ate overshadowed by e military is- sue-a second front in Europe. The Soviet Union recently renewed It's demands for an Anglo-American of- fensive on the European mainland to remove some of the pressure on the Red Armies. But there is other evidence from Russia that fre- euent complaint has more noise than substance-that the Russians realize and appreciate Allied proce- dure even if 1t does not immediate " produce c diverslonary front.
 Some of the more obvious political questions which will have to be an- swered ultimately include:
 Russian boundaries will the United States and the United King dom agree to Russian absorption of the Baltic States and eastern Poland (White Russia) as well as small
