IHe frowned on the ideal of settling boundary questions now by unilateral or bilateral treaties and said such tilings should be left for all the United Nations to settle later. So far he was proceding according to text. But toward the end, he strayed. "President Roosevelt soon is to go across the seas to confer with Mr. Churchill and Mr. Stalin” he said—and the secret was out. If Connally was aware that he was revealing something supposed to be closely guarded information, he made no attempt to cover up his tracks, for in the next breath he wished Mr. Roosevelt a “safe voyage. . . into foreign lauds.” (Reports from abroad have speculated that the Big Three will meet in the middle east.)
