Italy's old Count Carlo Sforza entered its wide spaces first, to plead the case for Italian trusteeship of her former African colonies. The Netherlands' Dr. Dirk U. Stikker talked to Secretary Acheson for two hours, and was pressed to come to terms with Indonesia's republicans. Britain's Foreign Secretary, heavy-footed Ernest Bevin, and France's wispy Robert Schuman met with Acheson and agreed with unexpected rapidity that a Western German government must be set up promptly, a decision that had been stalled for months in lower-level talks...

Truman's voice was mild but edged. Under the Italian peace treaty, he said, the disposition of these colonies is under consideration by the Big Four powers.
