after victory in Europe:
The three governments consider
1t desirable that the present anom-
alous position of Italy, Bulgaria,
Finland, Hungary and Rumania
should be terminated by the con-
clusion of peace treaties. They
trust that the other interested Al
| lied governments will share these
views.
For their part the three govern
ments have included the prepara-
ton Of a peace treaty for italy as
the first among the immediate i'm
portant tasks to be undertaken by
the new Council Of Foreign Minis
ters. Italy was the first of the Axis
powers to break with Germany, to
whose defeat she has made mate
rial contribution. and has now
joined with the Allies in the strug-
gle against Japan. Italy has freed
herself from the Fascist regime and
is making good progress towards the
re-establishment of a democratic
government and institutions. The
conclusion of such peace treaty
with a recognized and democratic
Italian government will make it pos
sible for the three governments to
fulfill their desire to support an ap-
plication from Italy for membership
of the United Nations.
Other Peace Treaties.
The three governments have also
charged the Council of Foreign
Ministers with the task OF prepar.
ing peace treaties for Bulgaria, Fin.
land, Hungary and Rumania. The
conclusion of peace treaties with
recognized democratic government.
in these states will also enable the
three governments to support ap.
plications from them for member
ship OF the United Nations. The
three governments agree to examine
each separately in the near future
in the light of the conditions then
prevailing, the establishment OF
diplomatic relations with Finland
Rumania, Bulgaria and Hungary to
the extent possible prior to the
conclusion of peace treaties with
those countries.
The three governments have no
doubt that in view Of the changed
conditions resulting from the ter
mination of the war in Europe
representative of the Allied press
will enjoy full freedom to report to
the world upon developments in
Rumania. Bulgaria, Hungary ano
Finland
AS regards the admission of other
states into the United Nations Or
ganization, Article 4 of the Charter
of the United Nations declares that
! a. Membership in the United
Nations is open to all other peace
loving states who accept the obli-
cations contained in the present
Charter and, in the judgment OF
the organization. are able and will
ing to carry out these obligations
%. The admission of any such
state to membership in the United
Nations will be effected by decision
of the General Assembly upon the
recommendation of the Security
Council"
Support Qualified Neutrals.
The three governments, so far as
they are concerned, will support ap-
plications for membership from
those states which have remained
neutral during the war and which
fulfill the qualifications set out
above.
The three governments feel bound
however. to make it clear that they
| for their part would not favor any
application for membership put
forward by the present Spanish gov
ernment, which, having been found.
ed with the support of the Axis
powers, does not, in view OF it
origins, its nature, its record anc
| it's close association with the ag.
gressor states, posses the qualifica
tions necessary to justify such mem
bership.
XI-Territorial Trusteeships.
/ The conference examined pro-
posal by the Soviet government
concerning trusteeship territories a:
defined in the decision of tht
Crimea Conference and in thu
Charter of the United Nations
Organization.
After an exchange of views on thi!
question it was decided that the
disposition of any former italian
territories was one to be decided
in connection with the preparation
of a peace treaty for Italy anc
that the question of Italian ter.
ritory would be considered by the
September Council of Ministers o.
Foreign Affairs.
I XII-Revised Allied Control Com
mission Procedure in Rumania.
Bulgaria and Hungary.
The three governments took nott
that the Soviet representatives or
the Allied Control Commissions ir
Rumania, Bulgaria and Hungary
have communicated to their United
Kingdom and United States col
leagues proposals for improving the
work of the Control Commission
now that hostilities in Europe have
ceased.
The three governments agreed
that the revision of the procedure
Of the Allied Control Commissions
in these countries would now bt
undertaken, taking into account thu
interests and responsibilities of the
three governments which together
presented the terms of armistice tx
the respective countries, and &C.

posals.
