UNCORRECTED GALLEY PROOF
2. It was decided to make the following recommendations to the
Plenary Meeting:
(a) The United Nations Conference on the proposed World Organ-
ization should be summoned for Wednesday, 25th April, 1945, and
should be held in the United States of America,
(b) The United Nations, as they existed on February
*
1945,
N. B. The blank represents the date of the end of the Conference. [Footnote

i
i. e. those who had at that date signed the United Nations Declara-
tion, would be the only states invited to the Conference on World
Organization. It will be for the Conference to determine the list
of original members of the Organization. At that stage the Delegates
of the U. K. and U. S. A. will support the proposal to admit to original
membership two Soviet Socialist Republics.

pp.-
3. The Foreign Ministers' meeting has established a sub-committee
to examine further details in connection with the proposals for a
World Organization and will report shortly to the Plenary Meeting.
2 Copies of text as read by Eden were found in the UNA Files and the Hiss
Collection.
MR. EDEN concluded by saying that they were glad to accept the
invitation of the United States Government to hold the meeting on
April 25 in the United States. He added that he hoped that the next
meeting of Foreign Ministers would, therefore, take place in London.
Mr. Eden stated, in commenting on the report, that the British
Delegation did not think it right for others to share the status of
United Nations membership merely in order to participate in the
Conference, but he understood that the United States Delegation had
other views. He said a sub-committee was considering the details.
MARSHAL STALIN said that among the states which would be
represented at the conference there were ten who had no diplomatic
relations with the Soviet Union. He said that it was somewhat
strange for the Soviet Government to attempt to build future world
security with states which did not desire to have diplomatic relations
with it. He asked what could be done about this matter.
THE PRESIDENT replied that he knew that most of these states
would like to have relations with the Soviet Union but had just not
gotten around to doing anything about it. There were a few, how-
ever, where the reasons were different and where the influence of the
Catholic Church was very strong. He said that he would like to
point out, however, that the Soviet Union had sat down with these
states at Bretton Woods and UNRRA conferences.
MARSHAL STALIN replied that this was correct but that at this
conference they were to consider the vital question of the establish-
ment of world security.
THE PRESIDENT then said that he would have to go back a bit into
history. Three years ago the then Acting Secretary of State, Mr.
Welles, had told these few American Republics that it was not neces-
sary to declare war on Germany but only to break diplomatic relations.
3 The Hopkins note (post, p.
was apparently passed to the President at
about this point.
Therefore, there were five or six South American countries who felt
that they had taken the advice of the United States Government and
were, therefore, in good standing. It was a fact, be added, that
