and spirit of the agreement reached
by President Roosevelt, Prime Min

in the Crimea Conference seven
weeks ago.
Grounds for Pessimism.
Officials here were frankly dis
turbed in trying to figure out So
Wet intentions, and some admitted
grounds exist for pessimism re-
garding the future of Big Three
cooperation considered vital to
world security.
Senator's, closely concerned with
foreign affairs indicated deep regret
tat the Moscow government had
raised new obstacle to full CO.
operation in the San Francisco con-
ference to set up a world peace
agency, and hope that the dark
clouds can be cleared away before
the meeting opens April 25.
One threat to success of the San
Francisco parley was disclosed only
three days ago when the White
House revealed that Stain had
asked at the Crimea meeting for
three votes in the assembly in the
proposed world organization. and
that Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Chur-
chill agreed to support the proposal
on the understanding that if it were
approved the United States would
seek three votes, too.
Vote Deal Causes Split.
This voting bargain that was kept
secret for Al days has threatened

aroused other nations to the point
of making heated controversy GER

United Nations meeting
The explosive Polish issue was
disclosed in a series of developments
yesterday:
/. The Soviet news agency, Tass,
announced that the Moscow govern
ment supports the Warsaw provi-
sional governments demand for rep
resentation at San Francisco, and
had asked the United States and
Great Britain for an early reply"
to Russian suggestion that dele
cation from the present Warsaw
regime be invited if the projected
new government is not set up in
time.
g. A British foreign Office spokes-
man said in London that the Rus
sian proposal is "out of the ques-
ton"
United States in Accord with Britain.
3. A State Department official
here said that the United States
does not agree to the extension of
an invitation to the government now
functioning in Warsaw in view of
the Crimea agreement.
1t still is the hope of this Govern
ment, the State Department spokes-
man said, that formation of the
new Polish Provisional Government
of National Unity, in conformity
with the decisions of the Crimea
conference, will be completed in
time for it to be represented at
San Francisco.
A reply along these lines prev-
ously had been sent to Moscow, it
was understood.
AS contemplated by the Crimea
agreement, the American and Brit
ish Ambassadors in Moscow are
carrying on consultations in an
effort to work out an exact formula
for creation of the new national
unity government in Warsaw.
Reds Reported "Stalling."
There have been reports of Rus
sian "stalling" in these negotiations,
presumably in support of the War
saw groups objections to any out
siders coming into the government.
It was pointed out here that An
gio-American acceptance of the
Russian demand for the undiluted
Warsaw group to be represented at
San Francisco would have amounted
to recognition of that group as the
Polish government and would end
hopes of fulfilling the Crimea agree
ment for giving it broader demo-
cratic base.
On the other hand, it was hoped
that the firm stand taken by Wash
ington and London in rejecting the
proposal might lead Moscow to
clear away obstacles to the current
consultations and hasten formation
of the new national unity govern
ment for Poland in the interests OF
Allied unity.
The only chance for Polish repre-
sentation at the San Francisco con-
ference appeared here to be early
success in the Moscow consulta-
tions. The United States and Great
Britain, in accordance with the
Crimea agreement, previously had
turned down a request for repre-
sentation by the exiled Polish gov
