DA. We get along here into the week of June 12, where we come to the last week of the
Conference. Almost all of this is in private session, and it is impossible, from any
papers I have, to find out what we put up. We had all kinds of meetings, and they lasted
hours. For instance, on the 14th of June, we had one from 3:30 to 5:45, and then another
one fron 6:30 to 9 o'clock. We have one here - one meeting of 6 hours, from 3 o'clock to
9 o'clock, and we broke up and met again at 11 D'clock, and stayed there until a quarter to

tease Bevin, and try to irritate him and provoke him into things, but he didn't call us
cutthroats and capitalist warmongers (confused) none of that went on, it was really quite
a tedious performance, all the way through, and we had
reasonably courteous and
proper relations coming into the meetings, and going out. After the meetings, the Fronch
had sandwiches and champagne out in the gallery of the Palais Rose. The Russians never
would stay, they just picked up their bags and went right on through and went home. The
rest of us would stay around and chat for a few minutes, but they were courteous, always
