SAN FRANCISCO, June g.
The United Nations Conference
tonight looked forward to full
success in it's objective-the writ
ing of the charter of a new
world organization to maintain
peace-and to early adjourn
ment.
With action on the troublesome
question of setting up a trustee
ship system for dependent areas
virtually completed and the voting
formula for the proposed World Sc
curity Council well on its way to
final action, conference leaders are
aiming for adjournment next Friday
or Saturday
This may be delayed another four
or five days, however, by arguments
on several knotty questions remain
ing to be settled. Among these are
the methods of amending the char
ter and electing a secretary-general
and his deputies, and the question
of providing for withdrawal or ex-
pulsion of nations from the organi-
zation.
Many Meetings Still Ahead.
The conference also may be de-
layed by the need of time to whip
all the provisions of the charter
into treaty shape in English, French.
Spanish, Russian and other Lam
guages. When everything is in read
iness, the treaty will be signed by
the members of all the so delega-
tions attending the conference.
Many committee meetings, commits
sion meetings and several plenary
sessions of the conference itself
still are to be held before final ad-
journment
Tonight, largely under the guild
ance of Chairman Connally of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, technical committee met to
consider the voting formula which
gives a veto over important Secur-
ity Council decisions to the Big Five
permanent members of the council
the United States, Great Britain,
Russia, China and France.
While hope was expressed that
the committee might vote on this
controversial issue tonight, the ex-
pectation was that another meeting
Monday will be necessary before ac-
ton is taken.
Study Big Five Proposal.
A Big Five Interpretation of how
the voting formula will operate
stipulating that council discussion of
a dispute cannot be blocked by a
big power veto-was before the COM
mittee.
No change in the Yalta formula
is expected. despite some small ma
ton opposition, led by Australian
Foreign Minister Herbert v. Evatt,
to the broad veto powers.
Mr. Evatt declared today that "the
fight is on" But some small nations
already were persuaded that full
veto authority for the Big Five is
necessary. Peruvian Foreign Min
ister Manuel Gallagher, for example,
backed it at a news conference.
Repeating some of the arguments
the great powers themselves have
made. Mr.. Gallagher remarked that
the big nations have the preponder-
ance Of military power and that so
long as they stick together there
will be peace.
God help U.s." he said, IF fun
damental differences develop among
the big ones"
Inter-American Plan Safe.
The fact that the United States
will have veto assures there won't
be abuse of an inter American secu-
rity system through undue interfer-
ence by the security council, Mr..
Gallagher said, adding:
I'VE want to have our brothers,
not strangers, spank us if we are
bad"
The trusteeship chapter, which
lays down the objectives sought in
dealing with dependent peoples who
come under the system, calls for
ultimate self-government or inde-
pendence, depending on varying cir
cumstances and the degree of pro-
gress made by these peoples.
BY authorizing strategic" areas in
trusteeship territory, it also pro-
vides for development of necessary
military and naval bases. This
takes care of the American problem
of naval and military bases in the
Pacific islands which have been
wrested from Japan-if they are
placed under trusteeship in the fu-
ture and not held outright by this
country.
AS now proposed by the big pow
ers, the charter might be amended
in the future by an international
conference called by three -fourths
vote of the General Assembly, and
the concurrence of the Security
