married by the President.
This plan calls for establishment
Of an assembly to represent all
peace-supporting nations, a small
Ter council on which the big four"
would have permanent seats and
other countries rotating representa-
ton, and the use of national armies
as police forces to curb aggression.
Sir Alexander said that he viewed
the conferees who will meet here
next week as an advance working
party" which will seek to establish
points of agreement among the four
powers and to dissolve. If possible,
points of disagreement. AS is al
ready known. the delegates will
have no authority to conclude hard
and fast pledges, but will report
their findings back to their re-
spective governments for further
consideration.
No Cut and Dried Plan.
He emphasized that the British
delegation has no cut and dried"
scheme, but Is seeking to work out
an acceptable plan with the other
powers.
Lord Halifax, in summarizing his
outlook on the war, recalled that
within two weeks Britain would
have been engaged for five years.
On his way over here, he said, he
had been reading the recent book
of Sumner Welles, former Under
secretary OF State, entitled The
Time for Decision" In it Mr.. Welles
recalled conversations which he
held in the summer of 1910 with
Hitler and his foreign minister,
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, in which
they expressed assurance of an
easy German victory.
Lord Halifax said that while in
England he had a conversation at
military headquarters with Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, whom he
praised highly not only for his tao
tical ability but particularly for
his skill in fusing Americans and
Britons together into an Allied
team" This spirit, he added, ex-
tends into wide areas aside from
purely military cooperation. He
expressed the hope that it was SYM
bolic of future Anglo-American CO.

He brought back a letter from

Admiral Nimitz said he did not

pointedly:

boys leap from the vehicle and
scatter in the park. The 16-year-
old boy, who delayed his departure
to pull on the emergency brake just
before the machine crashed, was
caught by the police A second boy
was arrested later at his home.
