those in Moscow, Tehran, Cairo, Yalta.
 Five major decisions stand out:
 1.Definition of the kind of future in store for Germany-complete disarmament and demilitarization, elimination of strict control of all potential military industries, and a specific prohibition against manu- facture of airplanes or sea-going ships.
 2. Agreement on formula for ex- tracting from Germany-in materi- als machines and equipment-re- parations to compensate for the loss and suffering inflicted by the Nazis.
 3. Creation of big five council of Foreign Ministers to draft peace treaties with the defeated nations for submission to all the United Ma tions. The German peace treaty will be postponed until central German government is formed. That IS not an early possibility.
 4. Tentative agreement on the western boundaries of Poland. The eastern boundary was settled at Yal- ta. The Berlin decision would give the former capital of East Prussia home of the junkers-and the sur- rounding territory to Russia; the rest of East Prussia, the free city or Danzig and all of Germany east Of the Oder and the Neisse rivers, which includes mineral-rich and heavy industralized Silesia, would go to the new Poland.
 5. Promises to the defeated Axis satellites and all neutrals. except Franco Spain, to support their ap- plications for admission to the United Nations. The former satel- lites must form democratic govern ments to qualify and the neutrals must be willing to meet the re- uuirements set forth in the united nations charter-acceptance of the obligations and willingness and ability to carry them out.
 Break With Franco
 The Big Three, in effect, made a joint moral break with Generalls- simo Francisco Franco of Spain when they served notice that the present Spanish government was considered an outlaw.
 Ranking with the major Big Three accomplishments in interest were the unmentioned subjects:
 1. The western boundary of Ger many-what is to be done with the Rhineland? There have been demands for its partition, for in- ternationalizing the Ruhr and ced- ing the Saar to France. The ab- sence of France from the confer ence may have precluded any an nouncement but it was felt the Big Three must have exchanged views on this problem.
 2. The future of the Dardenelles Russia is pressing Turkey toi new agreement which would strengthen Soviet guarantees for a warm water outlet. This is an is- sue in which Britain's s Mediterranean policy figures prominently.
 3. The future of Austria. Thal country already has been promised independence, but no menuon as made of plans to implement tha, decision. However, Russia's proposal that its unilaterally-sponsored Aus trian Provisional government be extended to all of Austria was blocked by MT. Truman and the British. The latter insisted upor postponing a decision until after the entry of British and American forces into Vienna, move made earlier this week. :.
 Thus, the Big Three have left for their Foreign Ministers some ol the most controversial issues oi postwar Europe. Other problems or the Council of Foreign Ministers Agenda are Italin- -Yugoslav claims or, Trieste hot spot of the Acria- tic; and disposition Of italian col onieS which the Russians want tt make international trusteeships.
 The London meeting of the For eign Ministers Counci1-to be hele not later than Sept. Twill be tt the final United Nations Peace Conference what Dumbarton Oak was to the San Francisco Confer ence. It will give the big power a chance to reconcile their differ ences over the final settlements 1T Europe and present a united iron to the full-dress peace conference
 Italian Peace Treaty
 The Big Three agreed that "firs among the immediate importan tasks to be undertaken" is the pre- paration of an Italian peace treaty Italy is the only former enem! nation whose armistice terms stil remain secret.
