ALLIES AND RUSSIA

FOREIGN MINISTERS MEET LONDON, Sept. 6 The frequent conversations in London between the Foreign Secretary, Mr Anthony Eden, the Deputy Commissar for Foreign Affairs, M. Maisky, and the United States Ambassador to London, Mr J. G. Winant, are outward signs of the steady preparatory progress toward the development of the means of ensuring closer military and political unity between Britain, Russia and America, says the diplomatic correspondent of the Times. A conferexice between the foreign secretaries of the three countries is confidently expected next month. The three Governments hope to establish a commission representing all the Governments which would remain in permanent session, sharing all information. The first conference would establish the machinery for closer unity, and the commission would keep the machine running. The proposed permanent commission would be in some respects like an ambassadorial conference, interpreting the agreed policies of the three Governments. The diplomatic writer of the Daily Telegraph says the suggestion has been made to M. Maisky that Russia should send a representative to Sicily or to North Africa.
