Finally, the conference gave pre-
liminary attention to a number OF
other specific problems relating to
the eventual transition from war
to peace. A fruitful exchange of
views took place on such questions
as the treatment of Germany and
its satellites, the various phases of
economic relations, the promotion of
social welfare, and the assurance of
general security and peace.
Did Not Solve All Problems.
These were among the outstanding
developments at the Moscow confer
ence. The intensive discussion, last
ing two weeks, did not and was not
intended to bring about the solution
OF all the problems that are before
us. Much less could we anticipate
the problems that are bound to arise
from day to day and from year to
year. There were other problems
such, for example, as questions re-
lating to boundaries, which must, by
their very nature, be left in allegiance
until the termination of hostilities.
This is in accordance with the posi-
ton maintained for some time by
our Government.
OF supreme Importance is the fact
that at the conference the whole

now and after the war, was revital-
lied and given practical expression.
The conference thus launched a for
ward movement which, am firmly
convinced, will steadily extend in
scope and effectiveness. Within
the framework of that movement, in
the atmosphere of mutual under
standing and confidence which made
possible its beginning in Moscow.
many of the problems which are
difficult today will, as time goes on,
undoubtedly become more possible
OF satisfactory solution through
frank and friendly discussion.
l am happy on this occasion to pay
personal tribute to those with whom
1t was my privilege to confer in
Moscow. Mr.. Molotov arranged for
the business of the conference in a
most efficient manner. Both as
chairman and participant, he mani
tested throughout the highest order
OF ability and profound grasp of
international affairs. Mr.. Eden,
with his exceptional wisdom and ex-
perience. exhibited the finest quail
ties OF craftsmanship. I found in
Marshal Stain a remarkable per-
sonality, one of the great statesmen
and leaders of his age.
Impressed by Russians.
I was impressed by the people of
Russia and by the epic quality of
their patriotic fervor. A people who
will fight against ruthless aggres-
sion, in utter contempt of death, as
the men and women of the Soviet
Union are fighting, merit the admits
ration and good will of the peoples
of all countries.
We of today shall be judged in the
future by the manner in which we
meet the unprecented responsible
ties that rest upon us-not alone in
winning the war, but also in making
certain that the opportunities for
future peace and security shall not
be lost. AS an American I am proud
OF the breadth and height of vision
and craftsmanship which have
moved you, ladies and gentlemen in
each house of the Congress. to adopt
by overwhelming nonpartisan ma
Jorities resolutions in favor of our
country's participation with other
sovereign nations in an effective sys-
tenn Of international cooperation
for the maintenance of peace and
security.
Only by carrying forward such a
program with common determina-
ton and united national support
can we expect, in the long range of
the future, to avoid becoming VIC
tins of destructive forces of inter-
national anarchy which in the
absence of organized international
relations will rule the world. By
the procedure Of cooperation with
other nations likewise intent upon
security we can and will remain
masters of our own fate.
