BRITAIN AND AMERICA
TERRITORIAL DISPUTES WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 Britain and America have agreed that the settlement of European territorial disputes should be postponed until the end of Ihe war, said the Secretary of State, Mr Cordell Hull, at a press conference. He explained that the Moscow Conference formula for giving Italy political self-determination would serve as an example in dealing with other liberated areas, but territorial controversies would have to wait. No other policy could be allowed to interfere unless someone wanted to suspend the whole war and settle many territorial questions first.
It followed that no liberated area could be dealt with finally until territorial questions were settled. The Associated Press points out that Mr Hull thus left unanswered such questions as the ultimate status of the Baltic States.
