MR. EDEN inquired if this meant four
members for European affairs.
MR. MOLOTOV replied that so far as
Europe was concerned the first task of the
Council was to draft treaties of peace with
Germany, Italy, Hungary, Rumania, and Bulgaria.
Finland for some reason appeared to be omitted.
France did not participate in the armistices
with these countries. He had no question
about French participation in the discussions
relating to the peace with Germany and Italy
but he thought that France should be excluded
when the peace treaties with the other countries
were being considered.
MR. EDEN thought this would be complicated
as there would be three members for some pur-
poses, four for some, and five for others.
MR. MOLOTOV pointed out that this was
due to the actual situation.
MR. EDEN then inquired if he understood
clearly that the meetings of the three Foreign
Ministers would be continued and that the
Council would consist of four or five members.
MR. BYRNES replied that the Council
would consist of five members and suggested
language to provide that China's participa-
tion, so far as European affairs are con-
cerned, should extend only to matters affect-
ing Asiatic interests or of world wide con-
cern.
MR. MOLOTOV asked if it were settled
that Finland should be mentioned.
MR. BYRNES replied that it was.
MR. MOLOTOV then proposed that paragraph 1
of the American draft be amended to provide
that the composition of the Council should
conform to the character of the matters under
discussion.
