...Kremlin, involving, rumor said, a visit by the Archbishop to Moscow, perhaps from Teheran. It was a dizzy prospect to dwell on, for Communism and Catholicism have been archenemies through a bitter quarter century. Yet Francis Spellman may have talked to Russian envoys in Ankara. The dissolution of the Comintern (TIME, May 31) had come in the midst of his mission, and it must have pleased the papacy. The Vatican radio had begun broadcasts to Russia, friendly in nature and designed to dispel the Russian people's "complete spiritual isolation." Moscow had not objected...
...smiles in Moscow matched smiles in London and Washington, not only over the good fellowship of Joe Davies and Joe Stalin but over something bigger it reflected: the growing good fellowship of Russia, Britain and the U.S. Success on the battlefronts and the Comintern's dissolution (TIME, May 31), heady as a couple of beakers of vodka, had put all in jovial humor.

More probably...
...United Nations, it meant a great strengthening of propaganda v. the signatories of the Anti-Comintern Pact, who no longer possessed anything to be anti, except the nations they had made war upon. For anti-Communists in the West, as Socialists slyly pointed out, it meant liberty to attack the Communists without offending Russia. For liberals and progressives it meant, they hoped, some chance of unity in the future. For the world it would mean good luck if it meant internationalism of a better sort...
