Stalin seeing him off on the
plane. It puts its OK on the
conference, editorializing to the
effect that some differences still
exist on "certain European ques
tions" (notably Poland), but that
"the road appears clear toward
framing a firm, hard peace."
When the Moscow newspapers
speak it is the VOICE OF
STALIN we hear.
WHAT it all means is that
Britain and Russia appear
to be on the way to a satisfac
tory division between them tin
the way of "spheres of influ
ence") of eastern Europe, tho
Balkans and the Mediterranean
countries.
We Americans must hope that
it is a SOUND agreement, and
WORKS. Only through some
such arrangement can we nope
for peace in Europe in this gen
eration. BOTH Churchill and Stalin,
the dispatches tell us. "ex
pressed regret" that FDR was
''unable to attend" the confer
ence. It would be rather interest
ing to know why he didn't at

things are state secrets. .
