J. 333305-MONO-State
Galley 502
UNCORRECTED GALLEY PROOF
MR. HARRIMAN stated that Marshal Stalin would very likely wish
to raise the question of what the Russians would get out of the Pacific
war. He stated they would want the southern half of Sakhalin, and
the Kuriles. They would wish to maintain the status quo in Outer
Mongolia and to obtain control over the railroad running to Darien.
THE PRESIDENT said he wished to have the views of Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek before discussing the status quo in Mongolia but
was ready to go ahead on the other questions.
At this point Mr. Matthews and Mr. Hiss entered the meeting
to
discuss the papers prepared by the Department of State for the
President.³

to the President at the President's meeting with his advisers on February 4.

agreements reached there by Stettinius and Eden. See ante, pp. -
MEMORANDUM OF SUGGESTED ACTION ITEMS FOR THE PRESIDENT
1. International Organization.
We should seek adoption of United States proposal for voting
formula and agreement to announce immediately calling of general
United Nations Conference.
(Copies of text of United States proposal and analysis thereof are
available if you wish to hand them to Churchill and Stalin.)
Argumentation: Our proposal safeguards unity of the great powers
so far as is possible by any formula-enforcement action will require
unanimous vote-only with respect to discussion will a party to a
dispute not be able to vote. Latin American and other small powers
will be disillusioned if discussion can be vetoed.
Note: If the voting issue is settled, additional points would have to
be agreed to before a United Nations Conference could be called:
International Trusteeships, France as fifth sponsoring power, list of
nations to be invited, date of conference and its being held in United
States, invitations to be by United States on behalf of other four
sponsoring powers, United States to consult China and France on
behalf of Britain and Russia, form of announcement of agreement on
International Organization matters (we have available the necessary
papers on these points).
2. Adoption of Emergency European High Commission.
(Copies of draft text of declaration and of accompanying protocol
are available if you wish to hand them to Stalin and Churchill.)
Argumentation: Unity of great power policy with respect to
liberated and Axis satellite countries is highly desirable, and France
should be included as one of the great powers for this purpose.
3. Treatment of Germany.
(a) Final agreement should be reached with respect to control
machinery and zones of occupation. Announcement should be made
of such agreement and of the earlier agreement on surrender terms.
(b) Boundaries: It is not expected that definitive, detailed com-
mitments will have to be made at this time. However, if it proves
