Moscow. They have been strengthened and confirmed in Tehersn. We three worked together, We have set our hands to the task, and heavy is our responsibility to ensure that we do not f I would like to give two illustrations of the beginning that has been made. When I came back from Moscow a month ago I told the House that we had set up there an advisory council for Italy, on which there would be representatives of our country, the United States, Soviet Russia, and France. That committee --that council -- has begun its work. Its members have had a number of meetings. They have been to Italy and surveyed the position there. I had the opportunity when I was away to see the representatives of all four of the countries, and each and all told me that the work was proceeding smoothly and well, That is the first st so. And then there, is the advisory commission for Europe, the commission agreed on in Moscow, which is to sit here in London.

The British, and the American and the Soviet Ambassadors in Ankara accompanied him. Unfortunately, Mr. Vyshiusky, who was to have been the Russia representative to join us in their capacity, was % away at the front in Italy, and he could not reach us until after the close of the talks, but I was able to see him before I left Cairo, and I gave him a full account of all that had passed, and discussed with him the outcome of our work. These conversations were in the nature of a fuller and more complete development of the earlier meeting which I had had with the Turkish Foreign Secretary five weeks ago. I clearly cannot at this stage give details of these confidential discussions - too many people might be listening- but i can say that I have good hopes that they will |
