TOP SECRET

at Soviet insistence. At Moscow Mr. Molotov proposed
three additional topics for the agenda: (1) the
withdrawal of American troops from China; (2) the
withdrawal of British troops from Greece; and (3)
the Indonesian situation. Mr. Byrnes agreed to dis-
cuss the first in connection with the disarming of
Japanese forces in North China, but Mr. Bevin's pro-
test blocked inclusion of the second and third in
the formal agenda, although Mr. Molotov spoke at
some length on Indonesia at the opening meeting.
The item relating to the establishment of an atomic
energy commission, which the United States had pro-
posed as first on the agenda, was relegated to last
place at Mr. Molotov's request (Doc. A, p. H-21)
The agenda agreed upon at the first meeting of
the Conference was as follows: (1) the reconvening
of the Council of Foreign Ministers and the resump-
tion of the work of their deputies; (2) the terms
of reference of the Allied Council and the Far
Eastern Commission; (3) the creation of a unified
administration for Korea looking toward the estab-
lishment of an independent Korean Government; (4)
the disarming of Japanese armed forces in North China
and their evacuation to Japan; (5) conditions per-
mitting the recognition of the governments of
Rumania and Bulgaria; and (6) proposals concerning
a United Nations Commission for consideration of the
control of atomic energy (Doc. A, p. H-25). .
Mr. Molotov's argument for omitting a discus-
sion of the transfer of control of Manchuria to the
Chinese National Government was that the Soviet Gov-
ernment had a special agreement with the Chinese
Government concerning Manchuria and that there were
no differences between the two governments on the
subject. He said that the evacuation of Soviet
troops from South Manchuria was complete and that
the evacuation from North Manchuria would have been
completed if the Chinese Government had not requested
that it be delayed for a month. He insisted, how-
ever, on discussing the presence of American troops
in North China (Doc. A, p. H-24).
