of the Latin American nations
- which secured similar assur-
ances in the recent act of Cha
pultepec-or by a British Do
minion, probably New Zealand.
The demand for territorial
guarantees would include a def
milton of aggression and 60
hand in hand with the expected
United States proposal to en-
power the assembly of the pro-
jected peace agency to review
treaties.
WOULD CHANGE COURSE
Adoption of the guarantees
would change the proposed
leagues fundamental obligation.
Instead of simply an interna-
tional pledge to decide when
sanctions should be imposed,
the organization would be OBJ
ligated to use the worlds armed
might whenever it was decided
that aggression existed.
The United States accepted
the frontier-guarantee idea at
: Mexico City last month with the
reservation that the act of
Chapultepec be made to fit into
the proposed world peace sys-
tenn.
At the same time, several of
the countries outside the four
sponsoring powers-the United
States, Britain, Russia and
China-have worked out formu-
las designed to secure a larger
role in decisions Of peace and
war. A strong reaction has
crystallized against the original
Dumbarton Oaks formula which
would give the leagues security
council power to bind all men,
Der nations to send their forces
into action.
NO .VOICE-NO BLOOD
One ambassador, recalling the
American revolutionary cry
mo taxation without represen-
tation," said this time it would
be mo blood without a voice."
Declining to permit use of his
name, he said he is ready to pro-
pose that a majority vote Of the
general assembly be required
before the security council could
direct use of force, Canada al
ready has suggested that two
third assembly vote be required.
The Dumbarton Oaks pro-
posals leave all decisions on
sanctions exclusively to the Sc
curity council - requiring 2
unanimous vote by the big five
and a. least two of the six non
permanent members OF the
council.
Russian Foreign Commissar
v. M. Molotov, Secretary of
State Stettinius and British For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden
are slated to seek agreement on
these and other issues this week
end, beore they travel to the
west coast or the United Nations
conference opening next Wednes-
day.
SALIENT ISSUE
At the top of their agenda,
however, is the high-tension
Polish question. The United
States and Britain on one side
and Russia on the other ap-
peared ready to come to grips
on the issue, after the State De-
partment yesterday reaffirmed
its rejection of twice-presented
Russian demands that the pres
ent provisional government in
Warsaw be invited to San Fran
cisco.
Efforts will center on break
ing the deadlock over formation
of a more representative Polish
government, move agreed
upon at Yalta but stalled after
weeks of consultations in Mos
cow.
Russia's apparent determina-
ton to stick by its guns was seen
in Moscow dispatches last night
quoting the army newspaper
Red Star as saying that failure
to invite the provisional gov
ernment "has evoked the indig-
nation of the Polish people"
"Only one government ex-
lists in Poland" Red Star said.
1T is not right to compare a
group of London politicians,
who quarrel among themselves,
to this single government of
