lieve, is likely to continue after the
war, particularly If American ad-
mirals have their way and keep cap
tured Japanese islands as naval
bases.
No divergence, however, is likely
to arise between the United States
and Great Britain over this situa-
ton. They have worked in the
closest unity. The only conclusion
to be drawn is that the Common
wealth can be counted on to support
the Anglo American powers against
others on any closely debated issue
at San Francisco.
Exactly the same cannot be said
of India. Because of the independ-
ence issue, India does not at the
present time display the same 10y
atty to the United Kingdom as do
the four Commonwealths. India's
primary concerns at San Francisco,
observers here believe, will be two
to back all arrangements designed
to further its military security in
the Orient, and to utilize whatever
diplomatic bargaining opportunities
may be offered to further its
chances of postwar independence of
British control.

position argued vigorously that the
plan of organization was unfair to
the United States. Great Britain,
they said, would have six seats" in
the League Assembly compared to
one for America because it would
dominate all the states in the EN-
pire.
Similar arguments have been
raised in less volume on Capitol
Hill within the last month. They
are not taken seriously by officials
in the Executive Department.
These men point out that under
the Statutes of Westminster pro-
mulgated in 1881 the Common
wealths have complete autonomy
in foreign affairs. That this is no
empty Journalism, they say, is H.
lustrated by the fact that South
Africa Joined the United Kingdom
in this conflict only after three
weeks of debate which ended in
legislative majority of only IA votes
for war. They also point to the

u. 5. Delegates Agree
To Ban Interviews,
Vandenberg Reveals
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-Sen.
ator Vandenberg, Republican, o,
Michigan. held what he termed 8
"hello-and-good-by" press confer.
ence yesterday and said the Ameri.
can delegates have agreed not te
talk individually to the press.
"The only time we will be free, as
individuals, to talk with the press
will be times when we dissent from
the delegations unit vote" he said
Then we can explain our view
points. Personally, I couldn't ask
the other members of our delegation
for better treatment. I intend to
play ball"
He refused to say who had advo-
Gated the unit rule.
He said that 80 far, the American
delegates have, essentially, single
viewpoint. Our agreement is not
only for the sake of unity, but it is
unity in fact. I got everything I
wanted in our past two weeks of
talks"
Only a Start, Says Dulles.
John Foster Dulles, adviser to the
American delegation, said "the So
ciety Of nations is still in primitive
state"
For that reason, he said, only "an
elemental start" can be made now
toward lasting peace. But he en-
phasized that great opportunity is
offered toward that goal. Mr.. Dulles
made his appraisal In a speech at
Oakland as part of a Nationwide
series OF meetings called by the Fed
eral Council of Churches to pray for
the conference.
Senator Vandenberg refused to
name in detail the amendments he
proposed to the Dumbarton Oaks
proposals, but he has stated public
ly, many times, that his chief COM
plant against the Dumbarton Oaks
draft Is it failure to identify Justice
as one Of the objectives of the world
organization"
This is also the chief complaint of
the Netherlands government and of
several Latin American govern
ments.
Senator Vandenberg expressed
confidence of the parley's success.
This conference starts under
more favorable auspices from our
viewpoint than any we've had"
he declared. And for several rea-
sons.
Non-partisan Issue.
First, both political parties have
succeeded in making world peace
non-partisan issue.
Second, the liaison committee
which has worked between the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee
and the State Department has built
up mutual information and conf
dence which is of great value.
And, third, despite the violent
differences of opinion among the
American people in respect to de-
tails of the world organization.
there is universal conviction that
the United States, as a matter of
Sef-lntereSt, must join in effective
collective security if we are to pre-
vent World War III"
Evening star., 1945-04-23

as contrasted with the present
grouping of the nations into big
and little" powers.
So far as the Dumbarton Oaks
plan is concerned, no distinction is
made in the roles of Canada with
its 100000 and Australia with its
100000 peoples, on the one hand
and-merely for example-the Is
Latin-American states having pop
ulations of less than $4,000 each
on the other. Canadians particu-
larly insist that some distinction
should be made in the powers tc
be exercised in the security organi-
zation by their country, with its
very large potential, and, say, El
Salvador.
The same issue may be raised by
some Of the European states with
considerable industries and armies
Holland and Belgium, for ex-
ample.
None of the statesmen who aspire
to the middle power" bloc have YET
said publicly how its privileges
would be defined. One suggestion
made in a purely informal way has
been that the Dumbarton Oaks
draft be revised to specify that OF
the six seats on the potent Security
Council present assigned to the
small nations q certain number-say
two or three-should be definitely
reserved for the middle powers"
They might also ask some such
specific provisions as to the alloca-
tion> of the 18 seats on the Social
and Economic Council.

membership in the League of Ma

but, otherwise, with widely varying

Three of them-Canada, Australia

a result of this wars viscissitudes,

United States than with the British
sphere of defense. The remaining
Commonwealth, the Union of South
Africa and India still look primarily
to the United Kingdom for military
security.
Canada, because of its geograph-

the outbreak of the war with Japan,
been formalized through the Ameri-
can-Canadian Defense Board. Be-

 Rep. Carl T. Curtis, R., Neb,, ac. knowledged that it would be difficult since the Democratic majority had disposed of the case. But fl we ever get chance" he added. i've will move to reopen the investiga- ton"
 The Republicans said in q minor- ity report that the committee had barely scratched the surface" and demanded to know why Elliott and other principals had not been called In for direct committee questioning.
 Meanwhile, records released yes- terday by the Democratic majority revealed for the first time that Elliott, second son of the late Presi- dent had proclaimed his "every in. tention" of making further pay ments to John A. Hartford, the man who loaned him the S200.000 and later settled for only 5000.
 Hartford, president of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Co.,. deducted the $le6,000 as a bad debt in his l042 income tax return. The Ways and Means Committees majority report held that the treasury was justified in allowing the deduction.
 The epublicans quoted Hartford as saying that he had not pressed for a larger settlement than s4,000 so 1t would not "embarass" Elliott's father,
