One little-noticed difference be-
tween the U. S. and Great bri-
tam on one hand, and Russian on
the other nand, at San Fran
cisco is the Western Allies at
titude toward Furnishing war Grim

discussions between Stettinlus,
Eden and Molotov, but the Rus
slams took an alarmist view of
the way in which the State De-
