Remission told the conference on
the United States in the postwar

good neighbor policy.
Representatives of American
business, he said, "too often have
been men without knowledge of
the language or customs Of the
country in which they were sta
toned and too often were possess
ed by a complete scorn for the
natives with whom they were
forced to do business"
He said they should keen IN
mind the simple fact that in the
end their market depends upon the
good will OF their clientele and that
the welfare Of the common crowd
Is intimately related to their own
welfare"
Formerly a cultural relations at.

times in various government agen.

This does not mean that the Paci-
nc war was not discussed by the
three leaders. President Truman
insisted upon Its inclusion in the
agenda.
While both the Americans and
the British respected Russia's neu.
trslity In the Pacific conflict, they
firmly stated their belief that the
future OF the world could not be
discussed without some reference
to japan.
Drove Bargains
President Truman devoted the
early portion Of the conference to
feeling out his two experienced
contemporaries. Then, with the
assurance Of the almost unanimous
support Of the U. s. Senate, he
drove bargains which otherwise
might have been hard.
II was likely that he in turn made
some concessions to British and
Russian viewpoints.
