ference the amendments agreed only
that the Big Four took cognizance
not only of individual but also of ma =
tional rights. They would permit
election of six nonpermanent men,
bers to the World Security Council
in accordance with geographical
distribution and their ability to con-
tribute to international security.
\ This Mr. Stettinius said, will give
fair representation for the So
called middle sized nations and the
small nations on the security coun-
Gil" 1t goes at least part way in
answering claims Of lesser powers
for a bigger hand in security en-
forcement.
Beyond the Big Four amendments,
the Americans themselves, with the
support of China and Britain. are
making two additional proposals.
Delegation members said they
thought Russia might come along
on them, but Mr.. Molotov has asked
"a hours-up to late tonight-to
consult Moscow.
| AdiuStment of Situationx
They embrace: A suggested
change in the Dumbarton Oaks
formula under which the general
assembly of the proposed league
would be empowered to recon-
mend measures for the peaceful
adjustment of any situations, re-
gardless of origin, which 1t deems
likely to impair the general welfare
or friendly relations among ma
tlons, including situations result
ing from a violation of the purpose
and principles set forth in this
charter"
| A regional arrangements pro-
posal which would vest in the world
organizations security council au-
thority over regional enforcement
OF peace-keeping measures. But it
would except from immediate con-
troll Of the council regional systems
directed against new aggression BY
the Axis powers.
The supposition was that even-
tually such mutual defense pacts
as those between France and Russia,
tperhaps in. modified form. would be
brought within the regional ar
rangements of the new league. Rus
STA was reported to be contending,
however, that such agreements
should be placed in a separate cate
CORY.
The American delegation also
laid down its proposals for the es-
tablishment under the league of
trusteeships for territories now un-
der mandate, areas taken away
from the enemy and territories VOL
unfairly placed under international
control.
U. S. Plan May Be Modified.
The American plan differed from
that proposed by the British yester-
day in that it would provide for
the creation of separate class OF
strategic areas to be administered
under the security council. Nom
strategic territories would fall with
in the authority of the general as
sembly.
Representatives of the big powers
are still trying to reach common
agreement on trusteeship and the
American proposal may be modified.
Among amendments indorsed
jointly by the sponsoring powers,
one would bar interference by the
organization in the domestic af-
fairs of any country, except when
domestic disturbances threaten the
general welfare and peace of the
world. In that event, the world
organization could step in.
| The big four decided that the six
temperament seats on the security
council should be apportioned with
due regard" to the war contribution
of the nations seeking such seats as
well as to their geographical dis
tribution.
Court Question Studied.
The question of establishing an
international court of justice was
left to further study by a confer
ence commission which has before
it recommendations made by an
international jurists' committee.
The sponsoring powers also pro-
posed Strengthening Of the economic,
social, cultural and other humani-
tartan functions of the proposed
league. They provided that these
and other activities Of the organiza-
ton should be conducted without
distinction as to race, language, re-
igion or SEX"
Il believe that here at San Fran
cisco,' Mr.. Stettinius said, I'VE are
laying a firm foundation for the
economic and social collaboration
Of nations, and that history may
well prove that of all the things
we have done here, this was the
most important"
Immediately afterward he took
occasion to emphasize that the Big
-Four were suggesting a substantial
additional to functions of the Sc
curity council by giving it authority
not only to recommend procedures
for peaceful settlement of disputes,
'but also the actual terms of set
