WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. -(P--
The Big Three, winding UP an
conference around
white draped table in an old play
spot of the Cars, announced to-
night their formula for the tri-
conclusion of war and
the beginning of organized peace.
Their nine-point program, am
nounced at the end of the fatefM
day-and-night sessions, projected
this nation fully on to center state
in European affairs.
That in outline is the record of
the meeting concluded yesterday
in the one-time summer palace Of
Car Nicholas II on the Black Sea
at Yalta in the Crimea, CONFER
ence that may shape tomorrow's
world.
The decisions were announced to-
day in joint communique from
the participants, President Roose.
welt. Prime Minister Churchill, and
Premier Stain.
Here at home first reaction in
Congress and elsewhere was over
whelmingly favorable for the re-
port of the leaders Of the three
great powers. That report cover

militarism; elimination or control
of all German industry disable for
war; no softening of uncondition-
al surrender; and no break in the
Allied front

be formally drafted at a United
Nations conference at San Fran
cisco April %; and settlement

the question of veto power for the
great nations on peace council ac-
tons.
Joint action to effectuate the At.
lantic Charter principle of self
government for liberated peoples.
with U. S. participation on far
larger scale than heretofore.
On only one point that had figur-
ed strongly in preliminary specu-
lation did the three leaders fail to
report agreement or action That
was the question of possible So
Wet participation in the war
against Japan. Pointedly, Japan
went unmentioned in the announce
ment.
However, the Japaese war had a
high place in strictly British
American conferences at Valetta,
Malta, preceding the Crimea ses-
sion.
The nine points of the Big Three
communicate are:
/. Detailed agreement among the
United States, Britain and Russia
on military plans against Germany
which will result in shortening the
war" AS if speaking to the Ger
man people over the head OF Hit
Ter, the communique warned them
thata "Nazi Germany is doomed.
The German people will only make
the cost of their defeat heavier TO
themselves by attempting to con-
tinue hopeless resistance.
2. A final decision to split Ger
many into zones Of military oc-
after victory. The United
States, Great Britain and Russia
each will occupy zone, and
France will be invited to occupy
another. If she accepts, as she IS
