Unanswered Question =.
The major unanswered question
is: What role does Russia plan to
play in the closing days Of the war
against Japan. Few had antici-
pated that the Big Three commun-
ique would give more than a hint on
an issue of such tremendous import,
SO that lack OF specific mention
OF It was not surprise here.
But there was little doubt that
"the military matters OF common
interest" discussed by. the chiefs
OF STAFF of the United States, Bri.,
tain and Russia involved Japan. II
was also noted that Gensrnlfssliro
Stain had signed a communiqus
which praised Italy for at least
joining the allies In the struggle
against Japan. notice that the. Rus
SLAMS no longer are concerned
about offending the Japanese.
Most officials here expect Rus
sia to be in on the final stages OF
the Japanese war. But one sen.
ator, Warren Magnuson, (D).
Wash, predicted that unless Rus
sian help was absolutely neces-
sary" she would not become a bel
ligerent.
Enthusiastic
The senate had recessed for two
msnths "a hours before the re-
suits OF the big three meeting were
