VNHE idea that the three dominant pow
i ers IN the war-the United States,
Russia and the United Kingdonl-might
continue to rule the world after the war
through some kind of organization bear

Nations seems to have been first brought
up by Secretary Hull during his meet
ings at Moscow with Foreign Secretaries
Eden and Meletev during the latter part
of October, 1943.
MOLOTOV AND STAIN BEGAN
THE MEETINGS WITH THE UTMOST
SUSPICION AS TO THE MOTIVES OF
THEIR BRITISH AND AMERICAN
WAR PARTNERS.
In am informed at first hand they
were astonished at the suggestion that
these nations would cooperate with
Russia after the war.
Mr. Hull left Moscow firmly believing
that Russia could be brought into post
war organization for collective security if
the Russian suspicious could be allayed
and proper formula could be found.
That was the beginning of Russian ap-
peasement as method of allaying suspicion
and also 1t was the beginning of the search
and get through the L. s. Senate.
VTNHE scheme was gradually worked out for
Il three-power alliance (extended by cour--
tesy to a fvepower alliance by including
France and China which would agree to keep
the peace of the world until such time as the
members of the alliance themselves fell out.
The question was further discussed at
Tehran in the meeting between President
Roosevelt Prime Minister Churchill and Mar
shall Stain
The marshal was without enthusiasm for
any kind of organization but was emphatic on
the point that he would not join any organiza-
tion of worldwide nature where Russian
foreign policy might be dictated by Albania
and Ecuador.

stuck in his mind. In effect, he said Russia
would take but would not give
The plan had already been evolved in
Washington and London although it was not
specifically taken up at Tehran, to disguise
the three-power alliance as security council

world organization that would consist OF a
general assembly of all admitted nations to-
gether with world court which could give
an opinion, although not decide on certain
varieties Of international disputes, and social
and economic council which would promote
international well-beng mostly through the
distribution Of the assets of the United States.
FTNHlS scheme was further carried forward

United States, Russia and the United King
dom In the residence outside of Washington
known as Dumbarton Oaks. These proposals
for the establishment of general interna-
tional organization were announced on Oct. Z,
1914
The Dumbarton Oaks proposals specifically
came up at the Yata meeting in February,
-l945, when II was agreed TO hold a world con-
ference in San Francisco beginning April 25.
Stain again brought up that he had no in
tention of permitting Albania and Ecuador
to dictate Russian foreign policy.
He then agreed 10 the voting formula
which President Roosevelt had brought with
him and by which any member of the Big
Three, with France and China added, could in
the security council veto, without giving a
reason, any action of any kind.
This left the way open for the forming
