The United States delegation in

smaller nations half way on sew

measures for keeping international
disputes in check until the New
World organization is functioning.
Once again, word from Moscow
is required on the top probe l OF
great nation veto powers over
|peace-keeping efforts Of the
leagues proposed Security Coun-
Gil. Developments over the week
end served only to show that Rus
STA is standing firmly on an in
sistence that any of the Big-Five
should have the right to prevent
discussion, in the council, Of stu
atoms which might upset world
peace, and that the rest of the
Big -Four and most smaller ma
tons are strongly opposed to such
authority.
Britain, it was learned, has con-
suited the Dominions on the veto
and found them lined up solidly
against the Russian Interpretation
that it should extend to discussion
of disputes.
Cuba's chief delegate, Guillermo
Belt, said he was comforting with
other leaders of small nations and
expected them to stick together on
the question.
The United States delegation
talked today about a temporary
organization to handle all the
Leagues affairs until the World

The conference secretariat is un-
derstood to have drawn up a paper
calling for an interim commission,
proposing temporary headquarters
