I. ORDER: Ambassador Taylor explained that in all these studies attention   
is being directed first to the necessity of maintaining or restoring   
order in every country. This, he said, will be of paramount importance   
and must be a fundamental apsect of the post-war period. he asserted that   
the success of a post-war reconstruction plan many well depend on this   
immediated establishment of order. Hs Eminence agreed and added that   
there may indeed be grave danger of upheavals and revolutions in   
ies now at war if strong measures are not taken to preserve

III. RELIEF: Cardianl Maglione, in cimmenting on the importance of   
preserving order after the war and of ensuring for all peoples a sense of   
security in the immediate post-war peroid, declared that for the success   
of these plans relief must be provided at once, for a people without the   
absolute necessities of life awas constitutes a fertile ground for the   
seeds of internal strife and revolution. Mr. Taylor then assured His   
Eminence that this matter, too, was being given very careful consideration   
ad that, after that of the maintenance of order, was considered of highest   
importance in the American Studies. Ambassador Taylor then told something   
of what is being done in a concrete way to meet this post-war need. He   
asserted, by way od example, that huge reserves of food-stuffs are already   
being set aside in America for this purpose. As the work of harvesting the   
wheat crop of 1942 began, he said, the United States had a surplus of an   
entire year's wheat crop, which has been stored and will be  ready for   
immediate shipment to Europe after the war; and similar reserves of other   
commodities will also be ready. Mr. Taylor also pointed out that more   
than enough ships will be available for this work of relief. Cardianl   
Maglione seemed greatly impressed and very pleased to learn of these   
                       preparations.
