Minutes of the Second Meeting of the Foreign Ministers,
July 19, 1945, 11 a.m.,
Mr. Eden presiding.
Reconsideration of Paper on Council of Foreign Ministers
MR. BYRNES stated that he wished to
move reconsideration of the language of the
paper on the Council of Foreign Ministers.
He referred to the members charged with
duties under section 3 and specifically to
the language restricting membership to
governments signatory to the terms of sur-
render. He pointed out that some govern-
ments were at war but were not signatory to
the armistice terms and asked that the draft-
ing committee on this subject be instructed
to reconcile points of view on this phase
of the matter.
MR. MOLOTOV inquired whether paragraph 3
was referred to and stated that it was not
quite clear to him what question was involved.
MR. BYRNES pointed out that France, for
example, was at war with Italy but was not
signatory to the armistice terms and asked
whether she would be permitted to participate
in discussions regarding Italy.
MR. MOLOTOV replied that he believed
that she would.
MR. BYRNES stated that under the present
language of this paper he did not believe
that a state in such a situation could par-
ticipate.
MR. MOLOTOV asked whether the change
would provide only for Italy.
MR. BYRNES replied that if Russia, for
example, were at war with a country but was
not a signatory to the armistice terms,
Russia should not be excluded.
