the big three contain one great
success which has no mention.
1t appears throughout the COM
bined release and is, in fact,
greater in relation to future
peace of the world than any
reference made in the report.
That is the evident acquiscence
of Marshal Stain to cooperate
with the Western World. There

Conference danger to func-
tioning of the
United Nations than the atti-
tude of Russia. And during
recent months the feeling that
Stain had grown cold toward
his allies and was planning a
independent course became wide
spread. He had recognized a
Polish Government independent
of that which America and
England had been dealing with.
He had directed his represen-
tatives at the Dumbarton Oaks
Conference to insist on the
right of veto for Russia in the
event of controversy in which
she might be involved. He had
shown what could properly be
classified as a lack of confidence
in the democratic allies and of
their abilities to support pro-
posals.
But all this danger has ap-
parently been dissolved. What

representatives to the first con-
ference of the United Nations
he evidences an interest in the
destruction of japanese power
(if not an intention to throw
Russia in against the Nippon

Few men have doubted the
weight of this Russian problem.
Fewer still failed to realize that
the future peace Of the world
rested entirely on the ability
of President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill to per-
suade the Red Leader that the
interest of Russia, as well as
of the entire world depended
on complete agreement between
the leading United Nations
powers. Without Russia as an
active party to all United Ma
tons undertakings and with her
standing as a great and trium-
plant military power following
German defeat there would re-
main only the maintenance OF
force sufficient to meet any
challenge she would see fit to
undertake sooner or later.
The world might never know
what persuasion was necessary
to secure Russia's cooperation.

Insofar as the effect of the

nothing but fear. And evidences
OF this fear are found in most
reports from those countries.
