Enduring Peace Was Mapped at Conference
(Continued from Page l.)

NOuLUluSQ all nations, large and small, whose peoples in heart and in mind are dedicated, as are our own peoples, to the elimination of tyranny and slav- cry, oppression and intolerance"
 5. we came here with hope and determination. We leace here friends in fact. in spirit and in purpose"
 Contrary
 Contrary to expectations in many quarters, the declaration contained no ultimatlm to the German people to throw out their Na1 leaders and surrender internationally to avoid complete devastation of their home land.
 It was believed that the Big Three" may have decided to delay any such ultimatum until moment when success were assured. Most Allied authorities agreed that Ger man morale has not yet reached the breaking point.
 Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin in subsidiary statement on Trans part of the war said they counted upon the participation of all peace loving nations, in the establishment of international peace, security and prosperity after the war, in accord ance with the principles of the Att lantic Charter, to which all four governments dncluding Iran) have continued to subscribe"
 Though the conference laid the groundwork for an international postwar organization to build and enforce a lasting peace. the ilnme- diate military decisions overshad- owed all else.
 Anglo-American plans for the opening of a second front" by an invasion of western Europe and how lit can be coordirated with 8 mann moth Red Army offensive from the east and new blows from the Medi- terranean presumably dominated the discussions.
 Military COnferees Military conferees who accom- panied the Big Three" included General George c. Marshall, U. S. chief of staff and likely choice as supreme commander of the assault from the west, and Marshall lementi E. Voroshilov, hero of Stalingrad and one of Russia's ablest military | leaders.
 The declarations reference to complete agreement on all major aspects fthe three-front war by land, air and sea confirmed for the first time that Russia has accepted the date proposed by Churchill and Roosevelt for a second front.
 It also indicated that Stalin for the first time had informed the United States and Britain of the most secret details of the Red Army's plans for offensive blows from the east.
 Disclosure that operations also will be undertaken from the south pointed to a possible Allied thrust into the turbulent Balkans, either across the Adriatic from newly-won bases in southern Italy or from Africa and Levant into the Aegean, in addition to a quickening of the current campaign in Italy.
 Turkish participation would be most helpful in any Balkan opera tion and there has been widespread speculation that Turkey at least will grant bases to the Allies under the terms of her mutual assistance pact with Britain.
 (The German Transocean News Agency said that President Ismet Inonu, Foreign Minister Numan Menemencioglu and Marshal Chalk mak of Turkey had gone to Cairo)
 Tehran Conference
 The Tehran conference sessions were held in an cd Persian palace which now serve; as the Soviet embassy. All servants of the en- bassy, except for scme U. s. Army cooks, were Russian secret police. British soldiers and Indian Si';hs stood guard around the compound wall and armored cars were Sta- toned at each street intersection.
 Big screens were placed at either end of the street on which the pal ace was situated. Other elaborate precautions also were taken be- cause the Germans still have many agents in Iran seeking to stir up the natives.
 Stalin, making his first trip out side RuSSia's borders since he went to Cracow, Austria in 1912, arrived at Tehran Nov. 26 and Churchill and Roosevelt on Nov. 27.
 Roosevelt went to the American Legation the first night, but moved into the Rain building of the Soviet Embassy as Stalin's guest the fol- lowing night and remained there throughout the rest of the confer ence. Stalin stayed in small house in the embassy compound, while Churchill stayed at the Brit ish Legation across the street.
 Social Program
 The social program of the con- ference included a birthday party on Churchill'S 69th birthday Nov. 30, at which the 34 guests drank at least 34 toasts, including those by Stalin to both Churchill and Roosevelt, whom he called my fighting friends" and to American production, in which he mentioned victory in the past tense.
 Roosevelt gave Churchill an old Persian hS-l which cnnnniesellrs
