“UNITED NATIONS”
OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION i * - I ■* I I The countries battling against the Axis Powers were officially designated to-day as the “united nations.” They ; so described themselves in the pact in i which they promised to make no separate peace with their enemies. The ' designation, it was learned, was the i
result of long thought by President Roosevelt. He -had been working night and day on the pact, . and he pondered the designation “united nations” till 2.30 Wednesday morning. He wanted an adequate description, it was understood, which would avoid calling the signatories-the “associated” or “allied” Powers. During the last World War when these latter terms were used, it was recalled, there was some opposition to alignment with any foreign Powers.—Washington bureau of the Associated Press, January 2.
