issue OF Polish representation.

ton of additional Russian seats In
the. assembly OF proposed peace
keeping organization already Is
docketed for decision at San Fran
cisco.
However. whether the United
States intends to press parallel
claim for extra seats appeared 10
be a wide open question.
The Russians said they would
ask their two extra seats for the
Ukrainian and White Russian So
viets. They advanced the conten-
ton that those two political divi-
sions OF the Soviet Union. like each
OF the IA others, are independent
in the conduct of foreign affairs.
This raised the question in some
quarters whether eventually. II a
precedent is set, Moscow might ask
separate memberships for the other
major political divisions.
In the case OF Poland Russia ask
ed Washington and London to ap-
prove an invitation TO the present
Warsaw government in event the
Yalta agreement to set up a ma
tional unity regime there could not
be fulfilled in time. London and
Washington rejected this request,
The two western powers took
the line that the creation OF the
national unity government should
be rushed TO conclusion so IL could
