Roosevelt vis.ted the island on an alleged fishing trip, where he was joined by cnurcnill and later by Molotov wiao .lew via Siberia and Alaska 1w the wd Molotov was extremely Dbitter. He complained that Allied delay in establishing a second front meant the loss of thousands of Rugs an lives. The Red Army had suffered terrific punishment at “he German Army was 6till far advanced in the Caucasus. cecver wculaliucd that the American and Briush armies divert the strength of the Nazi mili ary machine by starting a sec- ond front at once.

Aimy was properly pre- pared micht result in a setback that would prolong the war even argued that neral staff had agreed it would be difficult to start wwuas avioss the English Channel at this ume. Liowever, Mclotov remained so bitter ard so disgruntled that Rouseve.t and Churchill were wor- ried. Simultanecusly some inkling of the Naz.-Soviet peace talks had trickled back to them. Jroveen Luey atso ATTEMPT TO CARVE UP EUROPE In these talks, Russia had pro- posed thai she be given one-half of Pomud. To this the Nazis agreed. It was also proposed that Russia teke over Iran and have frez access to the Indian Ocean through the Gulf of Persia. To this the Nazis also agreed. H. in turn, wanted to keep Bulgarin, Yugoslivia, Greece and Eungary as a part of the German Empire. To this the Russians agreed. However, the conversations broke down on the age-old question of the Dardanelles and Turkey. For more than a century Russia has demanded an outlet to the sea through the Dardanelles. And in the secret talks of 1943, the So- viets repeated this traditional de- mand cf the Is. Hitler, however, refused. Appar- . ently he wanted Germany to reign supreme over the entire Mediter- ranean. He wanted no Russian influence in Turkey. When Roosevelt and Churchill received an intimation of these Nazi-Soviet peace talks and realiz- 3 ver fafl- ure to start a second pront, they AR, asuiony 422 MOSCO%, 2R L ipimed: For already, in the 12 community- propertly States, the income of a family can be di- vided equally between husband and wife. man can stay married and now.

However, Stalin wnnted a firm commitment | not, only as to when the second front would start, but also as to what territory Russia would get af- ter the war—especially in regard to Poland and the Balkaps. He was worried about the Atlantic Charter’s protection of the rights of small nations and didn’t want to be botnd by it. Therefore, Hull and Eden agreed that a meeting of Etalin, Rocsevelt and Churchill would shortly be held to decide these problems. This was what led to the Big Three meeting at Teheran. At Teheran Stalin finally got an agreement regarding the second front—though not until after a ough bat.le with Churchill. ~hurchill at first argued that the lace for tbc second front was hrcu h the Balkans, tae back or to Europe, which he claimed ou'd be easier military terrilory for an invasion. Probably Churchill Iso had in mind the fact that U.S.-British armies would then be n the Balkans and would.keep the Russian Army out. But Stalin, probably thinking of xac ly the same thing, and want- ng the Red Army in the Bal- :ans, argued that the shortest oute to Berlin was straight s the English Channel. urchll then countered with a ccnd al'ernative, namely a land- nz on the Mediterranean coast of France and thence up the Rhone Valley to Germany. Again Stalin was adamant. He wanted the English Channel oper- ation ‘or nothing. Finally, Roosevelt, upon the ad- vice of General Marshall, sided with Stalin. The United States was lcoking at the s2cond front not from a political viewpoint, but nly as a means of winning the war quickly. At Teheran, it was also agreed hat Russia would be given a free 12nd in Bulgzaria, Rumania and part of Yugzoslavia (which was icre than Hitler was willing to ive). Great Britain in turn was > ge' a sphere of influence in Greece and the Dalmatian coast of Yugoslavia. Finally, it was at Teheran that Stalin persnaded Roosevelt and Churchill that the man for them to back in Yugo- lavia was Tito, not his Chetnik | ival, Mihailovitch. | The latter decision has been re-‘ retted almost ever since. But it should be remembered that Roose- velt and Churchill knew of the| c.et attempts to make a spearate Soviet-Nazi peace and were worried. | MERRY-GO-ROUND General MacArthur in the latest ‘Who's Who” has dropped the name of his divorced wife, Louise 3 o:ks. 8.epdaughter of the late dward T.
