MR. EDEN preferred to leave paragraph 1
as it was. The Soviet amendment would in-
volve much discussion as to who would be
present at each meeting.
MR. MOLOTOV said that while France had
perhaps an interest in questions concerning
Finland and Rumania, it was not a party to
the armistice arrangements concerning those
countries
MR. MOLOTOV said the point was that
France did not participate in the deliberations
for an armistice. Of course, France could sign
the treaty but the question was who was to
make the preparation for it. He said his
objections were not directed against France
but were based on the fact that France did
not participate in the armistice.
MR. EDEN then proposed amending the
text to limit membership to those countries
who had signed armistice agreements with the
countries being considered.
MR. BYRNES agreed and thought that it
would be possible to draft language in which
all could concur.
A drafting committee to draw up the text
was then appointed consisting of Mr. Dunn,
Mr. Cohen, Mr. Vishinsky, Mr. Sobolev, Mr. Ward,
and Mr. Dean.
The Foreign Ministers then returned to
the discussion of the question of the Council
of Foreign Ministers, the subcommittee
appointed for this purpose having completed
its proposed draft.
MR. MOLOTOV proposed that their draft
be adopted although he still wished to consider
the advisability of clarifying paragraph 1
of the American draft. MR. MOLOTOV proposed
