There is still a wide divergence
between the American viewpoint
and the Russian viewpoint concern
ing the governments of Romano

those countries, he said, democratic
institutions have not functioned II

He confirmed that Russia will
remove its forces from Manchuria
by Feb. l in accordance with its
agreement with Chiang-Kai-Shek' S

Summing up he said the Big
Three agreements should bring
hope to the war-weary people OF
many lands" They will facilitate
the withdrawal of armies of occu

added that only by this economic
recovery, can the United States
