ROOSEVELT DIPLOMACY New York DISCARDED BY TRUMAN
Washington, Feb. 3.
President Truman has abandoned, and would be most reluctant to resume, the system of Big Three personal diplomacy which his predeces- sor President Franklin D. Roosevelt had pro- moted throughout the war.
Roosevelt thought the best way to solve world pro- blems was to get leaders of the major powers around a table together, Truman prefers to use normal "diplomatic channels" or at the best his Secretary of State.

it necessary and would prefer to see the heads of state separately:
(2) Mast American and British
officials believe it is not possible to hold another Big Power meet the which would exclude French:
