President. it was indicated. would ex-
pect such a conference to include ma
tions not taking part in this one, as
it would not be feasible for the five
major powers to determine the Ques-

While the administration would
favor Washington as the meeting
place, no attempt would be made to
dictate the selection.
Such conference. it was pointed
out. would not include discussion of

an economic conference is mainly the
concern of Europe. and while the
United States would gladly join,
