The present conference, held sep.

Commitments Slow

Empire

Washington. Mar. 2O-lNS-Am-
erican plans for reaching a definite
understanding with the other Unit.
ed Nations on establishment of a
better world order after the war
today are believed to be running
into difficulty.
British reluctance TO make post
war political commitments at the
present time as well as Russia's in
sistence on retention of the Baltic
states and part of Poland are seen
as difficult obstacles in the path
Of the peace-planning.
Diplomatic observers In Wash
ington noted with considerable in
terest the apparent conflict between
the official American opinion ut
tered prior to the visit o, British
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
and the statements now being
made.
Before the arrival OF Eden, Tn
dersecretary OF state Sumner
Welles emphasized that now is the
time for the United Nations TO
reach definite agreements on post
war plans.
In a speech in Toronto on Feb.
rs. Welles said III We do not make
a start now. there is danger that
We shall be brought together to
make the peace with as many plans
as there are governments He
further said that failure TO begin
organized study and discussion
now" will bring danger that diver
gent views and policies may become
crystallized TO the detriment OF the
common war effort. and TO the
detriment OF efforts TO bring about
a Oasting) peace"
On the other hand. Eden Is said
to have told congressional leaders
on Thursday that it is too early for
the United States TO plan with
too much detail for the postwar
period.
