that Russia would not pull out of
the conference because of this de-
feat-despite constant speculation
on her future course. The Rus
slams. it was learned, are still dis
cussing conference plans of the
weeks ahead. But pessimism about
the prospects for unity among the
big powers was at new low.
Delegates saw in the two actions
of the conference a demonstration
of adherence to the integrity of in
ternational agreements-a demon
stration which they considered to
offer great significance and hope
for the future:
+ !. The unanimous decision to ad-
NIT White Russia and the Ukraine
/ to the United Nations followed the
commitments made by the United
States and Britain with the Soviet
Union at Yalta.
ia 2. The refusal of the conference
to admit the Lublin government of
| Poland was administered because
an international agreement, entered
into at Yalta by Russia, the United
/ States and Britain, had not been
fulfilled The agreement calls for
reorganization of the Polish pro-
visional government on more
democratic base.
| Delegates saw also in these de-
ciSions. and in that granting an in
vitation to Argentina, the operation
of the democratic principle of ma
jority rule fully observed. If this
rule can be observed throughout the
conference it will be happy augury
for the future
The crux of the battle over the
charter of the new international or
ganlzation may we'll be the final de-
ciSion on an amendment to the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals which
will be put forward by the American
delegation-an amendment pre-
pared by Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan. 1t increases
the powers of investigation granted
the proposed general assembly. 1t
gives the assembly the right to call
for investigations in situations
which may lead to serious interna-
tional trouble, including the review
of treaties already made.
Senator Vandenberg has expressed
the opinion that with this amend
ment the charter treaty will be rati-
fed by the Senate, and without it,
the treaty might fail.
This is one of several amendments
the American delegation will offer,
all of which have been submitted
to the other sponsoring nations for
their consideration.
Another of the highly important
issues which is to come before
conference is that of "trusteeships. !"
The American delegation has pre-
pared a formula for trusteeships,
and last night it was submitted to
a subcommittee of delegates and
technicians appointed specially to
consider the matter, composed of
representatives of the United States,
Britain, Russia, China and France
The American plan calls for inter-
national supervision of trusteed ter
ritories except that where one power
establishes a military base it would
enjoy exclusive control of the base
area.
Mr.. Molotov, in support of his
proposal to postpone action on an
invitation to Argentina, questioned
whether that country is free of Fas-
cism and told the conference:
THE Soviet Union considers the
Invitation of Argentina very inn
portant. The question was raised
only today. It has not been dis
cussed up to now by the representa-
tives of the Soviet Union. It is now
asked that the question be post
poned for a few days"
Mr.. Molotov quoted former Secre-
tary of State Hull and the late
President Roosevelt on the subject
1of Argentina.
