invited to participate in discussions
of the Balkan treaties, however, and
pointed out that Mr.. Molotov did
not question issuance of the invita-
ton on September II and did not
object to French and Chinese pres
ence in such talks until September
%.
Proposed Compromise.
When Mr.. Molotov then refused
to go on with the treaty talks with
out excluding France and China,
Mr.. Byrnes said, he reluctantly pro-
posed a compromise which would
limit the preparatory work on the
Balkan treaties to the Big Three on
condition that a truly representa-
tive peace conference should be con-
voked before the end of the year"
This conference would include not
only France and China, but also
all European members of the United
Nations and those non-European
members whose troops fought the
Axis in Europe.
Mr.. Byrnes' hope for the future
Is pinned on Premier Stalin's
eventual acceptance of such a COM
promise.
He said Mr.. Molotov did not reject
the peace conference proposal. The
Russian Foreign Minister admitted
that 1t is correct In principle" but
that he could not agree to it with
out returning to Moscow for personal
consultations with his government
Mr.. Byrnes said.
MY hope is that" Mr.. Byrnes
said, "his government tmeaning
Premier Stalin) will agree that the
nations that fought the war-the
World War-shall have a chance to
make the world peace"
He added firmly:
Peace must be based upon mu-
tual understanding and mutual re-
spect. 1t cannot be secured by pro-
cedural maneuverings which OBJ
scure from the world the real and
vital issues upon which their peace
depends"

Gen. MeNoughton
Says Countermethods
Are in Sight
BY the Associated Press,

DETROIT. Oct. 6.--Means with
which to counter the atomic bomb,
"are already clearly in sight" Gen.
A. q. L. McNaughton, chairman OF
the Canadian section of the Canada
United States Permanent Joint
Board on Defense, asserted here
last night.
Addressing a joint meeting Of the
American Society Of Mechanical En-
gineers and the Engineering Insti-
tue Of Canada, he described the
atomic bomb as representing moth
ing more than q transient advant-
age, unless we maintain our lead"
Gen. McNaughton, who was COM
mander in chief of the Canadian
Army In the earlier stages Of the
European war and later Canadian
Defense Minister. spoke of initial
unpreparedness for war and the Pc
Rod Of improvisation for Britain's
defense.
I'VE did not possess the modern
weapons needed, so something else
had to be found to take their
places" he said. Explosive obsta-
cles to surprise and destroy enemy
tanks--trip wires to wreck enemy
planes and gliders attempting to
land on any areas where this form
OF attack was thought likely-the
whole business was very primitive
indeed.
with great truth, through the
long days of the summer of le40,
Britain was held largely by bluff,
for 1t Is dificult to believe that
any serious attack from across the
channel could have been effectively
resisted"
Gen. McNaughton commended the
work OF the American and Canadian
automobile industry for its produc-
ton OF arms in 1910, and added:
Il wish I could say the same for
other matters of supply, but in most
things before these could be ar
ranged those in authority overseas
seemed to have got the idea of a
phony war and there was delay
and apathy in placing orders, which
was not broken until the rude shock
OF the fall Of France brought every
one to their senses"

Five thousand men and WACS

diffidently as the couple joined arms
before the minister at the altar. Mr..
Clark looked at him, and the Presi-
dent, as If in obedience to a gesture
moved a little closer.
Throughout the brief ceremony
the President stood with bent head
except once when loud knocking
from radiator caused him to look
around
When MIR. Clark held out his hand
for the ring, the President had 1t
ready. Then when DR.. Lane pro-
nounced. the couple man and wife,
the groom turned and bowed slight
ly toward the President who smiled
at him.
MIR. Clark kissed Mrs. Clark and
they turned to walk back down the
aisle. Behind them the President,
still smiling, hesitated a moment
and then walked a few steps down
the aisle to stand beside his wife's
pew. The guests leaned forward to
watch him. ,..
The bridal couple completed its
journey down the aisle unobserved
by almost all except newspapermen
in the back of the church, and q
choir boy peeking around the door
OF front anteroom.
Outside, the crowd took one look
at the bride, saw the President was
not behind her, and raced around to
the rear of the church to see him
leave. Holding on to the arm OF
her husband, the actress, who took
her first starring part IS years age
as Wendy in Peter PAN" smiled
happily for pictures. At 81, it was
her first marriage. Mr.. Clark, IS,
was married before. His first wife
is dead.
The President stayed for about
two hours at the Thomson estate
Balclutha, four miles away. before
leaving at 1880 for Martinsburg, w
Va. Here, according to Berryville
historians, Presidents Madison and
Monroe were feted long ago. Mrs
Thompson is the bridegroom's sister.
The town itself has not seen
a President since Mckinley came
through on May 20, 1899.
An hour after the ceremony, local
residents were still pleading with
church attendants to let them come
in and take as souvenirs from the
altar some of the chrysanthemums
which, with few palms, were the
church's only decoration.
The Berryville Police Department
increased from two to seven for
the big event, breathed q sigh of
relief that the Presidents visit had
passed without anything more
troublesome than q mild drizzle.

formity with the Yalta agreement
and the Atlantic Charter.
Points to Obstacles.
Hitting indirectly at obstacles
placed in the way OF American rep
resentatives by Soviet authorities in
the Balkans, Mr. Byrnes declared
that I'VE cannot know whether con-
ditions justify recognition unless our
political representatives are fully in
formed and unless our news corre-
spondents are permitted freely to
enter countries and freely to send
their stories uncensored."
Actually, he asserted, the United
States shares Moscow's desire for
governments friendly to the Soviet
in Eastern and Central Europe. "But
lasting peace depends not only upon
friendship between governments but
upon friendship between peoples"
he added-the implication being that
Russia is storing up trouble for her
self as well as the rest of the world
by attempting to force non-repre-
sentative governments on the Balkan
peoples.
Mr.. Byrnes delivered his 30-min-
ute report over the Columbia Broad
casting System last night, less than
"a hours after returning from the
London council meeting.
Without any definite accomplish
ments to report. he said he believed,
nevertheless, that very good prog

on directives to govern the work of

Must Not Relax Efforts.
'Undeterred by temporary set
backs and ever willing to accord to
others that tolerant understanding
that we wish others to accord to US,
we must not relax in our efforts to
achieve just and lasting peace for
ourselves and all nations" he said.
The technical question that brought
to a head the vital issue breaking
up the London meeting, Mr.. Byrnes
explained, was Russian insistence
that France and China be excluded
from discussion OF Balkan peace
treaties-1l days after Mr.. Molotov
had agreed to permit them to sit
