→China and subversion of the Four Policeman: Declaration by United Nations.
==China and subversion of the Four Policeman==
==China and subversion of the Four Policeman==
On January 1, 1942, the Soviet and [[Chinese Nationalist]] ambassadors in Washington joined with President [[Franklin Roosevelt]] and British Prime Minister [[Winston Churchill]] in signing the [[Declaration by United Nations]]. Twenty-two other nations at war with the Axis powers added their signatures to the document, which created the wartime alliance. The [[Atlantic Charter]] was hailed as "a common program of purposes." FDR apparently himself thought up the name "United Nations."

The order in which the declaration was signed, first by the four major powers and subsequently by the other nations, reflected FDR's belief in the primacy of the moral concept of "trusteeship of the powerful" for the well-being of the less powerful. The President now privately referred to these four major powers as the Four Policemen.

The central proposal was for the prompt creation of the United Nations Authority composed of all twenty-six nations who had signed the Declaration, the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, and Nationalist China.
