of Bremen and Bremerhaven in the British area to enable ingress and
egress to and from the American zone. Also the French wanted equal
participation with the Big Three in the occupation of Germany and a
memorandum went to the President on Thursday recommending

War Crimes. In asking for a report on the status of the War Crimes
Commission, the President told Secretary Stettinius that "The
charges should include an indictment for waging aggressive and
unprovoked warfare, in violation of the Kellogg pact."15 The Secretary

State-occupied much of my thought during these weeks. After
attending the annual meeting of the American Red Cross on the
morning of the eighth, I saw Messrs. Dunn, Pasvolsky, Alger Hiss
and Hayden Raynor in my office, regarding a noon meeting at the
White House with the President.¹ (At a dinner that evening with
Ambassador and Madame Gromyko, the Ambassador advised me he

I had to get to the rendezvous before "number one" and discussed
