...common interest; 2) an agreement that all areas conquered or liberated by the United Nations are to remain open without restrictions to military and civil officials and to press representatives of all the United Nations; 3) a hands-off policy in liberated countries (which means cutting out the puppet stuff); 4) renunciation by the major powers of a veto right in cases before the coming Security Council in which they are the accused...
