Stalin expressed his admiration of the productive
capacity of the United States; without the planes from
America, he said, the war would have been lost.
Implementation of the Tehran Agreements
The military agreements reached at Tehran were all
implemented. The failure of the Soviet Union to respect
the pledge regarding Iran necessitated a subsequent
reference of this matter to the United Nations.
Soviet
imperialism and intransigence since 1945 have made a
mockery of Stalin's pledge at Tehran of cooperation in
the solution of international problems.
A number of the other subjects discussed by the Big
Three in an exploratory manner at Tehran were embodied
in definitive agreements at later conferences. Among
these may be mentioned the Soviet entry into the war
against Japan, 2 the problem of Poland, 3 and the division
of the Italian fleet. The idea of dismemberment of
Germany was mentioned at Yalta, but later abandoned.
1. See Department of State Bulletin, April 21, 1946, pp. 657-660,
April 28, pp. 707-709, May 5g pp. 752-753; also United States in World
Affairs, 1945-1947, by John C. Campbell, pp. 85-90, 102-110.
2. Agreement on this subject was developed at Yalta and signed
February 11, 1945. See Decade of American Foreign Policy, 1941-49,
pp. 33-34; also background paper on Yalta Conference, D-8/11 in
RPTS series.
3. See background paper on Yalta Conference, P. 3; also Decade,
pp. 30-31.
4. Long controversy on this subject in the CFM was highlighted
by decisions on April 27. and June 29, 1946 (see USDEL minutes) which
are reflected in Articles 56 and 57 and Annex XII of the Treaty with
Italy and in the Protocol on the disposal of the Italian fleet, signed
February 10, 1947. For text of protocol and annex thereto see Decade,
pp. 467-470.
5. Minites of conversation between Secretary Byrnes and Molotov
at Potedam, July 30g 1945, state: "The Secretary reminded Mr. Molotov
that at one time President Roosevelt had been in favor of the dismember-
ment of Germany but had subsequently changed his mind. lie recalled
Marshal Stalin's talks with Mr. Hopkins last spring on this point."
See also Sherwood, op. cit. p. 904, and William D. Leahy in I Fas There,
P. 428. At Yalta the three powers had agreed to such dismemberment of
Germany "as they deem requisite for future peace and security." See
Decade, P. 30.
