Peace Meeting Depends
on Russia Says Byrnes

Washington, Oct 6-AP-Des-
pite the breakdown OF the fiye-pow.
er conference in London Secretary
Byrnes still has hopes today for
"a truly representative" European
peace meeting before the end OF
the year.
He indicated Russia's attitude
will determine whether it material
ICES.
Soviet Foreign Commissar Molo-
TOW has not rejected the United
States proposal for such a confer
ence, Byrnes said. He added he
hopes tha Soviet, Union will agree
that the nations that fought the
war-The World War-shall have
chance to make the peace"
Byrnes strongly emphasized his
belief that this means all Allied
nations directly involved-not just
Russia, Britain and the United
States.
AT Berlin" he said, ut certainly
was never intended that the three
powers present or the FIVE powers
present or the FIVE powers consti-
tuting the Council (Of foreign min
isters) should take unto themselves
the making OF the final peace"
At London the American dele
cation took the position that, In an
interdependent. democratic world,
peace cannot be the exclusive con
Germ OF a few presently powerful
states o"
1.-THE United States is willing to
dictate terms Of peace to an enc
my, but is not willing to dictate
terms OF peace to its Allies"
Byrnes disclosed that one big
difference at London was over rec
ognition Of the present Bulgarian
and Hungarian governments.
Because the United States and
Britain have not yet recognized
those regimes, Russia apparently
believes they object to the friendli-
ness OF TIM two Balkan govern
ments for the Soviet Union, Byrnes
said. He asserted:
There could be no greater mis-
conception OF our attitude"
Byrnes made it plain. too, that
another stumbling block was Rus
sia's insistence on excluding France
and China from discussions Of
peace treaties for countries with
which they had nat been at war.
Russian demands that France
and China have no part in the Bal
kan discussions led Byrnes to form
ulate a compromise proposal. in
Guiding the suggestion for a gener
al European peace conference.
Under the Byrnes plan, Russia.
Britain and the United States alone
would draw up the suggested trea-
ties for Romania, Bulgaria and
Hungary. But those documents
would have TO be written into final
form ty the general peace confer
ence.
Byrnes made clear that another
factor in the London deadlocks was
the agreement that all decisions
must be unanimous.
This "vetoT OF one country. he
said. should mot be used by the
United States or any other ma
ton to coerce the judgment and
conscience OF fellow nations
On Capital Hill Chairman Con
nally said he would ask the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
whether IL vluld like to call on
Byrnes for a rtylew OF L. S. world
policy next week.
Senator Vandenberg suggested
such al over-the-table talk was
needed m view OF the LONDON diff
ficulties and the cancellation of the
Rio de Janeiro inter-American con
ference because OF recent actions Of
Argentina's militarist government.
Senators have limited that they
would like % ask Byrnes whether
Russia's request for a four-power
commission rule over japan, hopes
for a $4,000. 900. 900 loan from the
United States. and desire 10 share
