Big Three Agree to outlaw Atomic Bomb and new Far East Commission
The Big Three foreign ministers at Moscow disclosed a plan to outlaw the atomic bomb and set up an eleven power Far East commission to review Japan occupation policies. The pact grants veto rights to the US, Russia, Britain, and China on commission decisions while MacArthur remains the sole Allied authority in Japan. A four power Tokyo review council is also established. A peace conference is planned by next May 1 with France invited to join Italy treaties. Korea is to become independent with a five year trusteeship. The atomic energy control commission would guide disarmament and peaceful use, with a staged approach and inspections. The communique notes no Iran Azerbaijan dispute settlement.
