UNITED NATIONS
OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION The countries batt'.ing against the Axis Powers were officially designated recently as the "united nations." They so described, themselves fn the pact in which they promised to make no separate peace with their enemies. The designation it was learned, was the result of long thought by President Roosevelt. He had been working night and day on the pact, and he pondered the 1 designation "united nations" till 2.30 in the 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 nny foreign Powers.—Washington I Bureau of the Associated Press, January 2.
