He personally had begged France to close the Suez Canal, but
they instead referred it to the League which disputed the
question and in the end did nothing. The result was that the
Italian Armies went through the Suez Canal and destroyed
Ethiopia. The President pointed cut that and the machinery
of the Four Policemen, which he had in mind, been in existence,
it would have been possible to close the Suez Cenal, The
President then summarized briefly the idea that he had in mind.
MARSHAL STALIN said that he did not think that the small
nations of Europe would like the organization composed of the
Four Policemen. He said, for example, that a European state
would probably resent China having the right to apply certain
machinery to st. And in any event, he did not think China
would be very powerful at the end of the wer. He suggested es
a possible alternative, the creation of a Europeen or a Far
Eastern Committee and a European or a Worldwide organisation.
He said that in the European Commission there would be the
United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and possibly
one other European state.
THE PRESIDENT said that the idea just expressed by
Marshal Stelin was somewhat similar to Mr. Churchhill's idea
of e Regional Committee, one for Europe, one for the For East,
and one for the Americas.
MR. CHURCHILL had also suggested that the United States
be a member of the European Commission, but he doubted if the
United States Congress would agree to the United States'
participation in on exclusively European Committee which
might be able to force the dispatch of American troops to
Europe.
THE PRESIDENT added that it would take a terrible crisis
such as at present before Congress would ever agree to that step.
MARSHAL STALIN pointed out that the world organization
suggested by the President, and in particular the Four Policemen,
might also require the sending of American troops to Europe.
