rights Of Senators to express their
opinions.
He explained that he could not
! discuss the language or specific pro-
posals in the resolution, but agreed
with the general objective.
The President said plans are going
forward for a conference of repre-
sentatives of all the United Nations
to consider postwar relief and food
stabilization problems sometime this
spring, the emphasized the question
of immediate relief after the war is
being handled separately from the
long range problem of planning ade-
quate food production and distribu-
! ton for the entire world.
| These two problems were among
many other topics discussed yester-
day with Secretary of State Hull
and a group Of other American ad-
visers on postwar planning, the
President said He said no definite
plans had been made
This Government has proposed a
date for the food conference, ex-
pected in about two months, but has
not yet received answers from all
other United Nations governments,
Mr.. Roosevelt said. He said he
believed the meeting would be held
in this country, but hoped for the
sake Of efficiency that it would not
be in Washington.
Meanwhile, a plea by Anthony
Eden that the United States. Eng
land, Russia and China mold their
wartime unity into the framework
for lasting peace structure suprred
congressional advocates of collective
security to new efforts.
The British Foreign Minister left
a sparkling vision of postwar seren-
ity with members of the Senate
and House Foreign Relations Com
mittees at precedent-breaklng
conference yesterday and some leg
islators seized this opportunity to
advance their contention that action
should be taken now.
Among these was Chairman Con-
nally of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, who told reporters
he favored establishment of an in
ternational group by the United
Nations to preserve the peace and
prevent aggression, armed with a
military force to carry out its de-
! creeS.
Il favor a declaration by the Sen
| ate of such intentions and further
! declaration that the United States
will cooperate in all matters grow
| ing out of the war which will affect
| the peace of the world and the
sovereignty of free peoples" Senator
Connally said.
He conceded, however, there was
some doubt as to the practicability
of taking such action right at this
moment.
While sponsors of the Ball resolu-
ton were encouraged by Mr.. Eden S
statements during a round-table dis
cussion at the Capitol, critics of the
proposal said the British Minister
had cautioned against attempting
to fill in details now
Mr.. Eden was reported to have
insisted that details of boundaries
and other political questions could
be settled only AS developments and
experience indicate.
Reaction to Mr. Edens discussion
carried on by the Foreign Minister
for the most part from notes, was
varied.
Senator Van Nuys, Democrat, OF
Indiana said he drew the inference
that Mr. Eden was reafilrming the
pledge Prime Minister Churchill
made to President Roosevelt at the
Casa blanca conference that Britain

would fight through the Pacific war
against Japan to the end even if
the other Axis partners were
knocked out.
Senator Nye, Republican. of North
Dakota, a critic of the administra-
tion's foreign policies before the
Pearl Harbor attack, said.
1T was the old, old story that
when this present job is done we
must see to it that it shall never
happen again. How we are going
to do it wasn't even discussed
don't see any sense in talking about
it now until we finish the JOB and
know what our allies are going to
be willing to do"
Representative Luther Johnson,
Democrat, of Texas, ranking Demo-
crat on the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, said he gathered the
impression that no specific agree
ments had been reached by the
United States and Great Britain
with regard to postwar relations
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Hi
nois said he was heartened by Mr..
Eden's reports that internal condi-
tions were deteriorating in Germany
with lack of oil. relative shortage
of planes and other factors.
Visit With Allies Suggested.
The foreign secretarys visit to
the Capitol, accompanied by Brit
ish Ambassador Lord Halifax, Secre-
tary of State Hull and other digni-
taries, prompted a suggestion by
Senator Connally that it would be
we'll If American diplomats and
legislative leaders paid similar visits
to Britain, Russia and China.
Mr.. Eden was reported to have
parried questions on such specific
topics as postwar commercial air
programs, declaring that he was not
in any position to know what pol
icies it would be wise to follow in
such matters.

Milk Price Increase
For D. T.. Area Diaries
Awaits Byrnes' 0. K.
Unrest Of Doirymen
Over Delay Reported
To Be Growing

The proposal for a milk price in
lngton milk shed was in the hands
of Economic Sterilization Director
James F. Byrnes today for final ap-
proval as reports were received of
unrest among dairy farmers over
delay in granting the increase.
An Agriculture Department Off
cial said decision was imminent
on the price increase first asked by
the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association December l
Fairfax Group Aroused.
Seven dairymen from the Big
Falls section of Fairfax County were
reported yesterday about to leave
for Washington for "a showdown
on the proposal They were re-
ported threatening to quit if the
increase was not granted. Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia dissuaded the group. however
by assuring them a final decision
vas near.
The associations original requeS,
was for a 93-cent-a-h -hundredweigh,
increase but this was cut to 40 cents
on Agriculture Department recon-
mendation last month.
Hearings on the proposed amend
ment to the Federal milk marketing
agreement were held here in Jan
uary. On March l the producers
group filed exceptions to the accent
increase, claiming it was insufficient

Farmers Plight Worse.
Bruce B. Derrick, secretary treas
urer of the associat ton, pointed out
yesterday that the decision to ask
for higher prices was first reached
last fall and indicated that the
farmers plight had increased since
then.
The final proposal, based on the
associations exceptions, has been
turned over to the Office of Price
Administration for study, and that
agency, in turn, submitted its rec
ommendation to Mr.. Byrnes.
Agriculture Department sources
said they did not know what final
figure would be agreed on by the
other Government agencies. 1t is
believed, however, that farmers will
