international peace and security
organization.

was conversations.
The President said the plan for
a world organization Is in IFS

the Allies
He said they we're amazingly
successful and that the whole
project was on a non-partlsan
basis.

established on a more practical
and workable basis than the al
truistic League Of Nations. which
grew ont of the last war.
MAY CALL CONFERENCE
MIR. Roosevelt said that while
conversations have been gong on
for some time. he did not expect
a formal conference would be held
although, he added, he would moi
rule out the possibility OF a con
ference.
He said he did not think that
Hull meant 10 indicate a confer

ton on the high level OF non

Asked If the plan embraced the
policy OF the Republican party as
enunciated at the Mackinac CON

probably everything that has been
written along that line is being
considered.
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked # IN
the program he would submit 10
other countries there were points
suggestive OF former President
Wilson's Il points.
The President replied that
there were no points as such
This, he said, is a working or.
