The article presents recent developments in the U.S. politics and its foreign relations. Bickerings at San Francisco, California, and in other Allied councils have induced a mood of disillusionment in more than one devoted champion of effective international organization. The Polish dispute, which has been the most talked about issue at the conference, has been recently joined by its Yugoslav cousin. The U.S. government announcement that land-lease shipments to the Soviet Union were being stopped or scaled down because the European war had ended, has gathered great applause. It seemed pretty clear that Russia needed financial assistance from the U.S. so badly that it would have to make certain political concessions which the U.S. had been asking for.
