Memorandum of Conference between the Cardinal Secretary of State Maglione   
       and Myron Taylor September 25, 1942, 12:15 pm        
 
                                                            
 
 
After the usual courtesies, having discovered that the Pope and Monsignor   
Montini had discussed with the Cardinal the points covered in my two   
memoranda presented to His Holiness the Pope as the basis of our   
discussion at the two audiences, I reviewed briefly the points involving   
the maintenance of order in occupied countries after the conclusion of   
war.  This feature of the immediate post war period is one that excites a   
great deal of interest here due to the fact that it is the opinion in   
Vatican circles, expressed both by the Pope and the Cardianl, that great   
disorder will prevail, and both have some doubt as to the ability of the   
United Nations or other influences to suppress it.  Naturally, I took the   
opposite course, indicating that, at least in some of the states, the   
miltary authorities, in collaboration with those of the United Nations,   
might effectively prevent general disorder.  The otherpoints, in the order   
which we touched upon them in a general way, were: the need of relief   
immediately upon the cessation of hostilities, the ultimate goal of   
security in the interests of world peace; the economic improvment in   
backward nations, involving advice and such assistance as was possible;   
the necessity for a world organization equipped with power for the   
enforcemnt of its decrees.  It must be borne in mind that I did not go   
into amy of the details of the studies we have made or conclusions we may   
                            have
