committee takes up the Argentine
question. Brazil Chile and Mexico
are members of the conference exc
cutive committee.
Molotov was understood to have
raised the question of admitting the
Soviet backed Lubin Polish govern
ment during the Argentine discus
sions. But it was not described as
proposed deal whereby he would
agree to Argentine presence here
if the Lubin regime were also in
vited.
In the first place, the United
States and Britain have stated
firmly their refusal to enter into
any deal whatsoever on the Lublin
government as it now is constituted.
And secondly, on any clear-cut is
sue against the United States and
Britain, Russia is aware that she
cannot muster anywhere enough
votes in either the steering or exc
cutive committees to swing such a
deal.
The Russians now can count on
the votes of Czechoslovakia and
Yugoslavia on any issue of conse-
quence on both the executive and
steering committee. She will have
two more on the latter when the
White Russian and Ukrainian dele
gates are seated, which Is now
merely a formality.
But China has announced that 1t
will vote with the United States
on all issues raised here. Great
Britain and the United States will
be voting together for the most
part. And the good neighbor policy
undertaken IL years ago by Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt is having a
great Towering of blossoms here.

phere are marching along together

| Pressing For Speed
But the Russians are pressing for
speed in acting upon the Ukraine
and White Russian applications
Molotov wants those two Soviet
Republics in before conference
committees are appointed. Thereby
they would have membership in the

The Polish question has been
sidetracked but it does not lie quiet
ly. The Polish Telegraphic Agency
circulariZed the conference today
with what amounted to charge
that the Russian government had
imprisoned or disposed of num-
Der of Polish underground leaders.
These leaders, the agency said,
met Russian forces near Warsaw
and have not been heard from since
March %. The Polish Social Demo-
cratic party in London has sent an
urgent plea to members of similar
parties among delegates here. They
want the conference to take up the

will start the Russians toward a
showdown with the United Nations
on the question of admitting Ar
gentina to membership The United
States and other American republics
want Argentina here and are sup
ported by Great Britain, China and
others. The Russians condemn the
Argentine government as Fascist
and object to meeting with its rep
resentatives.
This issue will be ripe for discus
sion today after the executive COM
mittee has dealth with the matter
| Of admission OF the Soviet Ukrain-
ian and White Russian republics t6
the conference. The late President
Roosevelt agreed at Yalta that these
two members of the Soviet Union
should be invited here-a procedure
that would give the Russians three
votes. Mr.. Roosevelt reserved the
right to ask three votes for the
United States but shortly before hi
death he abandoned that intention
in the midst OF considerable criti
cism of the whole idea.
Mr. Truman has instructed tht
American delegation to cast it's vott
for admission of the Ukraine ane
