The statement said the Anglo- American meeting this year would be held “in addition to any tripar tite meeting which it may be pos sible to arrange with Soviet Russia.” The plans for closer collaboration with Russia focussed attention on the European phases of Quebec plan- ining. But on these phases, Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill were com pletely and significantly silent. They had no comment, even indirectly, about the opening of new fronts in Europe, which Russia has been hotly demanding for months.
