sentatives reserved "the possibility"
OF the United States having three
votes in the Assembly also, but
since discussing the problem with
the American delegation to San
Francisco the President has decided
not to make such a request.
The Secretary refused comment
when asked If pressure was being
exerted for a withdrawal OF the
Soviet request. Likewise, Soviet
Ambassador Andrei A. Gromyko had
nothing to say" when asked after
a later meeting with Mr. Stettinius
II there was a possibility OF the
government following the Presi-
dents lead.
Consultations on Poland.
Mr.. Stettinius reiterated hope that
the new Polish government can be
formed in time to be represented at
San Francisco, and said consulta-
tions were proceeding in Moscow
toward that end following American
and British rejection of Soviet
demand that the present Warsaw
government be invited If its reor-
ganization agreed upon at the
Crimea Conference cannot be COM
pleted quickly.
The Moscow broadcast, recorded
by the FEC last night, appeared
designed to quiet reports that the
Soviet government attaches little
Importance to the San Francisco
Conference.
In quoting an article from Pravda
Official Communist newspaper. it
said the San Francisco meeting
"Opens a new chapter in world
history" and lis based above all on
realistic conditions"
Emphasizing necessity for Big
Three harmony, the broadcast ar
ticle declared that "the basis of the
Anglo United States Soviet coali-
ton is formed by the most impor-
tant life interests Of three states,
and these interests demand dura-
BILE and solid peace
1T is clear" it added, that If the
strongest states Of the world find a
common platform for the protection
of the peace there will be peace on
earth. II this common platform Is
not found, no clause in the constitu-
ton of any organization will help.
The Moscow declaration that the
&c ro1Io1 ho ,-inhf
time from every point of view" fol-
lowed Mr.. Stettinius' assertion that
rapid military and political develop
ments make it increasingly neces-
sary" that plans for creating world
security organization be carried on
promptly rather than rcquire post
ponement of the conference.
Connaliy's Suggestion.
Meanwhile. Chairman Connally Of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, a member of the American
delegation to San Francisco, sug-
gested that two peace conferences
may be necessary to draw the map
of the future world-one possibly to
follow early victory in Europe before
the war with Japan is won.
Noting that Russia is not now a
participant in the war against
Japan, he said he felt time might be
gained in placing the world security
organization in operation If Eu-
ropes political problems are thresh-
ed out quickly.
The San Francisco Conference
will not consider immediate prob
lens of postwar settlement, since its
purpose is to set up machinery for
keeping the peace in the future
While there were some objections,
senatorial comment generally ap-
proved the Presidents decision not
to request extra assembly votes for
this country.
Senator Ball, Republican, of Min
nesota said he thought the United
States would gain in influence with
other nations - particularly the
small ones-for declining to seek
any advantage in the assembly. IT
think it will make some friends for
U.S." he said.
Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont said the Presidents de-
cision lis consistent with our former
declaration that we think the right
basis for collaboration is the juridi-

Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
said he thought this Government

one vote in the assembly, and Sena-
