The news threw the world In to an uproar, and lights burned in chancellories around the world. The president rushed down to meet Stalin and take him to the White House at his guest Thous ands of people milled in the streets day and night to get a glimpse of the visitor and to learn why he was there. A few days later the White House Issued the famous Joint statement which laid the basis for our world constitution and meant peace for all time. They agreed to work for the union of nations as we now know it, in which each nation submits to the will of the majority.
