BIG THREE DIVIDE
POWER AMONG SELVES
But Byrnes was careful to keep
almost equally divided between the
Big Three the more important "eco-
nomic and social council" dealing
with the same delicate world prob
lens now obviously involved in revo-
lutionary changes.
This council is a little auton- :.
omOus UNO in itself, being lit
orally empowered to go into
practically any subject i'm any
nation, and even the top secur-
ity council of UNO only has au-
thOrity over its general apprO-
priatiOns. This restriction on its
funds is the only practical re-
straint upon its scope.
On this council the British, United
States and Russia each have about
equal representations, each able to
control five votes in all reasonable
expectations, while France has two
and China one.
For the United States we can no
doubt count on Chile, Colombia,
Cuba and Peru in pinch, while the
British might be expected to sway
Belgium (?), Canada, Greece (?),
and India. The Russians own the
Ukraine, control Yugoslavia and
Czechoslovakia, and seem to be able
to count on Norway (?).
Thus the council, which was
contrived at San Francisco to
bring the New Deal to the world,
starts out with equal power Of
American democracy, British
socialism and Russian cOmmu-
nism. These are the brass tacks
of the matter.
But underneath this new lacking is
the new American foreign policy Of
rapproachment with Russia, as
against Britain, which has never
been explained. The Byrnes speeches
at UNO are as unrevealing as his
post-Moscow statements here, as
to point and purpose. The reasoning
behind our new policy has never
been presented, even unofficially.

Apparently Byrnes figured he
could do as well siding with the
Russians as he had been doing
while siding with the British.

the new world, the price in prin-
ciples proved rather high. The Rus
