were made. But at Yalta the time had come for getting down to spe- cific cases in the political field"
 He frankly described the Big Three decision on the boundaries of Poland as "a compromise" But he said he was convinced that under the circumstances" 1t was the most hopeful agreement possible for free independent and prosperous Polish state"
 The agreement would give Russia about one-third of pre-War Polish territory. Poland would receive German territory in the west, in compensation.
 MT. Roosevelt emphasized that quite naturally" the Crimea Con- ference did not deal with the Pa cific war, but that the combined British and American staff at Malta made their plans to increase the attack against Japan"
 The unconditional surrender of Japan is as essential as the defeat of Germanl if our plans for world peace are to succeed" ne said.
 "The defeat of Germany will not mean the end of the war against Japan" he said. On the con- trary, America must be prepared for long and costly struggle in the Pacific"
 He said 1t was not yet possible to announce the procedure of vot- ing in the United Nations security council, but that Great Britain and Russia had adopted unanimously q proposal made at Yalta by the American delegation.
 It will be possible to disclose this plan "in very short time" The President said he believed Congress would find 1t "a fair solu- ton of this complicated and diff ficult problem"
 No Mistake This Time
 Looking to the San Francisco meeting as keystone ol future world peace, MT. Roosevelt said this time we shall not make the mistake of waiting until the end Of the war to set up the machinery of peace. This time, as we fight together to get the war over quickly, we must work together to keep 1t from happening again"
 He was well aware of the con- stitutoinal fact" that the charter developed at San Francisco as well as some of the other arrangements made at Yalta," will require Sem ate ratification. He assured the House and Senate that they would be kept constantly informed of this governments program and reminded them that the congress sional delegates to the San Fran cisvo conference included equal Re- publican and Democratic representa- ton.
 World peace is not party qucs- tion any more than s military vic- tory" he said. "The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, or one party, or one na- tion. It cannot be peace of large nations or of small nations. It must be peace which rests or the cooperative effort of the whole world"
 The President said one of the accomplishments at Yalta was clos CT tactical iiaison between Russia, American and British forces fight ing in Europe.
 He gave the first details of this new close cooperation, saying pro- vision was made for daily exchange of information between the Allied forces on the western front, the Armies in Italy and the Soviet armies on the eastern front with out the necessity of going through the chiefs of staffs in Washington and London as in the past"
 He said arrangements also had been made for most effective distri- button of all available material and transportation to places where they can best be used in the combined war effort-American British and Russian"
 T.. eleaborated at length on the meaning of unconditional surrender of Germany. The German people must realize the necessity of ac. cepting 1t as the primary requisite of their reestablishment as a people whom the world might accept as decent neighbors."
 No Enslavement
 He said this did not mean the destruction or enslavement of the German people. but 1t did mean temporary control of Germany" by Great Britain. Russia, France and the United States.
 It also means the ending of Nazism, the Nazi party. and all militaristic influence; 1t means pun ishment for war criminals. Ger many's complete disarmament and the permanent dismemberment of the German general staff which has so often shattered the peace of the world"
 By compelling separations in kind -- in plants. in machinery and rolling stock and raw materials --- we shall avoid the mistake made after the last war of demanding reparations in the form of money which Germany could never pay.
 The Crimea meeting produced a unanimous settlement in which the three nations agreed that the political and economic problems of any area liberated from the Nazi conquest, or of any former Axis satelliate. are joint responsibility of all three governments"
 Great Britain, Russia and the United States twill join together during the temporary period of in-
