ical manner.
Mr.. Churchill was the most
voluble because ne was most fre-
quently in the minority. Mr.. Roose-
velt and Marshal Stain often
found their views coinciding, or at
least not far apart.
This Is not to say that Mr..
Churchill didn't win some Of his
points. 1t was he who was most
inslstent, for instance, on offering

"Slept on" Decisions.
Sometimes one of the leaders
wanted to sleep on" a decision
like Marshal Stain when the pro-
posal for voting by members Of the
proposed international security coun-
Gil came up.
This formula, worked out by the
President in line with a British
suggestion, provides: Cd That a

The substance of this plan was

cember. Marshal Stain, however
seemed unfamiliar with it.
But he considered it overnight

Really Two Conferences.
In effect there were two confer
ences at Yalta-one military, the
other political. When major mill
tary decisions were reached by the
chiefs Of staff they were laid before
the Big Three. Naturally these
military agreements will become
known only on their execution.
Political decisions were arrived at
in about this order:
/. How Germany should be occu-
pied and controlled.
2. International security organ
ization to be set up in San Fran
cisco.
3. Polish territorial and govern
mental changes.
4. Declaration on liberated Eu-
rope.
5. Recommendations for new gov
ernment for Yugoslavia.
6. Big Three foreign secretaries to
hold quarterly meetings.
Agreement on what to do with
Germany was urgent. Allied arms
were pounding past the portals OF
the Reich and no concrete plan had
been perfected.

surrender must come first was not

Difficulties arose. Marshal Stain
insisted he couldn't leave Russia.
Mr.. Roosevelt had to take care OF
his fourth-term campaign.
But on January 20, two days after
his Inauguration, the President
took a train to an East Coast port,
boarded a cruiser and set a round
about course for the Mediterranean.
Seas were heavy for few days.
Submarine Fakes SOS.
Relays of planes, blimps, cruisers
and deStroyers served as an escort.
Once a German submarine sent out
a fake sos, attempting to lure Allied
vessels into torpedo range. Another
time periscope was reported
sighted. Destroyers leaped to the
spot. False alarm.
A neutral Portuguese merchant
man plowed defiantly through the
formation.
The Presidents daughter, Anna
Mrs. John Boettiger-accompanied
him to Yalta. Women seldom travel
on warships, and one day when she
appeared on deck in fur jacket an
old salt of an officer exclaimed: ::
Forty years in the Navy-and now
I've seen everything!"
The President spent his SD birth
day aboard ship. The day produced
a minor crisis, solved by Mrs. Boet-
tiger.
Plenty of Laughs.
Mr. Roosevelts chefs had baked a
fancy birthday cake So had the
cooks for the officers mess. 1t looked
as though one bunch of cooks was
going to be disappointed until Mrs.
Boettiger hit on an idea-three
more cakes in different sizes.
All five were stacked up in tiers.
Four were labeled: First term,
second, third and fourth. On the
fifth was tremendous question
mark. 1t produced plenty of laughs
and plenty of cake for officers and
crew.
The Chief Executive broke the
trip with stop at Malta February
2 for conference with Mr.. Church
Ill on European and Pacific mill
tary matters. A story made the
rounds that Stain heard about 1t
and sent message: Il said Yalta,
not Malta"
Mr.. Roosevelt and Anna had
time for a drive with the governor
of the island. The President work
ed until midnight, then turned in
aboard his plane. Long before
dawn it was of on the seven-hour
fight to the Crimea.
Roosevelt Was Chairman.
Mr.. Roosevelt stepped into the
role Of chairman at Yalta, since all
sessions were held in the American
quarters, Livadia Palace. 1t was no
gavel-pounding job, but now and
then he gently and figuratively
cracked some heads together.
The first session got under way
with Stain uttering the Russian
equivalent of "let's get going"
In general, Marshal Stalin-as
head of Russia's armed forces-ran
the war in the morning and sat In
on the conferences in the after
noon. He sat on the Presidents
right, Mr.. Churchill on the left,
each third OF the way around the
huge round table. Top advisers and
interpreters sat in between, the
total reaching 20 at times.
Mr.. Churchill talked longer and
more fervently than the other two,
sometimes leaping to his feet and
gesticuIating with hands or thick
cigar. Sometimes he thundered as
though addressing Parliament. Time
after time the interpreters had to
slow him down.

GUAM A GREAT BASE
FOR FUTURE SECURITY

In pre-war days, when paci-
| ficists, isolationists and sentiment
talists largely controlled the ac-
ton of Congress upon matters of
national defense, the Navy made
repeated efforts to secure author
ization for the development of
Guam into an advance base.
Leading naval officers were de-
nounced as war mongers. The
prediction was made that any at
tempt to fortify Guam would be
resented by Japan and lead to
war. i In. addition, opponents OF
/ the proposal insisted that Guam
was utterly incapable of being
developed into an operating har-
Dor for the fleet, much less an
advance base of sufficient pro-
portions to aid the defense of the
United States.
A. lot of water mas flowed over
| the dam since the attack upon
Pearl Harbor, which developed
despite our timidity in preparing
defenSes in the Pacific. On July
81, 1914, American forces invaded
Guam, the first of 10th, 1914, the
island was declared secured.
Since that time, it has been con-
verted into our most powerful
advance base, serving now as the
reserve and supply center of the
Pacific War. ~
"A recent release gives US some
interesting facts about the anlaz-
ing development on the 225-mile
square island where naval and
air officers direct the ever-grow-
ign assault upon Japan. Here are
some of the statements:
Big shore batteries protect the
coast and hundreds of anti-air-
craft guns encircle vulnerable
points.
The largest communication
system in the world has been set
Up and harbor facilities expanded
beyond the dreams of pre-war
naval enthusiasts.
Five large air bases including
three huge BIG fields, are in
operation, with one possessing
greater maintenance facilities
than Hickam Field in Pearl Har-
Dor. Fighter fields swarm with
| planes.

for reshipment to bases closer to

SAN FRANCISCO AND BERLIN

With a tragic period in world history coming
to close in the battle of Berlin, period which
everyone hopes will be one of peace is beginning in
San Francisco The United Nations which have
combined their resources to defeat fascism rec
ognize that achieving peace, like winning war,
calls for unity and mutual understanding.
ANY divisive factor which threatens unity must
be eliminated for the common good The racism of
Nazi Germany which has counterparts in other
countries is certainly divisive factor We hope
that the delegates at San Francisco will not be
afraid to face this issue They must take positive
and uneouivoca stand against racism and denounce
racial myths which are plague upon modern civil
cation Unless they take such action they will miss
the highroad to world peace.
