The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-04-19

(Continued from Page ID of next week will be devoted to discussions among Molotov, Secre- tary Of State Edward R. Stettinius. Jr., and British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden. The Polish deadlock undoubtedly will be their main topic.
 It was understood that a Rus sian note received here yesterday reiterated a demand that the pres- ent Polish provisional government at Warsaw, recognized by Moscow. be invited to San Francisco for want of @ new, broadened Polish regime.
 It is on such a new government, prescribed at Yalta, that the big three have been unable to agree.
 Neither the United States nor Great Britain has recognized the Warsaw regime, formerly known as the Lublin government. Both have objected to participation of that government until it's base is broad- ened to make the cabinet more representative of the Polish people. It has been said the Lublin govern ment was not established in con- formity with Crimea, conference plans. Instead, it is said to be the handiwork of the Russians.
 Also here is French Foreign Min iSter Georges Bidault and Chinese Foreign Minister T. V. Soong. Bi- dault arrived by plane last night with other French delegates to San Francisco.
 Bidault's presence raised the ques- tion of whether he will be i invited to participate in the discussions of the big three Foreign Ministers Eden, Molotov and Stettinius. Asked if he would see Molotov, Bidault said T hope so"
 StettiniuS and Eden have told re- porters there are no plans to in- clude Bidault in the talks. The ses- sion may, however, be broadened to permit Soong to participate. Eden pointed out that France, unlike China, is not a sponsor of the San Francisco conference.
 With the Polish dispute settled the prospects for San Francisco achieve ments would brighten considerably, especially for favorable senate action upon such agreements as may be reached. There will be less bitterness and infinitely less personal feeling in senate debate on foreign policy proposed by President Truman than there would have been if the late President Roosevelt were the spon- Sor.
 For example, MT. Truman and Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, are good friends. They differed on foreign policy but voted pretty much alike on reform and liberal legisla- tion. Wheeler might oppose treaty submitted by his one-time senate colleague. But he would do so in mood considerably different from that which used to move him when he was discussing MT. Roosevelt and his works.
 First Diplomatic Role
 There Is acute interest here in the manner in which MT. Truman will handle himself in this first diploma tic role as president. He will not be dealing directly with Molotov since the diplomatic equal of the presi- dent of the United States is Mar shal Josef V. Stalin. But responsi- bility for decisions will have to be MT. Truman's
 His position will be substantially strengthened by evidence of con- gressional confidence, such as yes- terday's courtesy call at the White House by delegation of Republican senators led by Robert A. Taft of Ohio. He may not accept their pro- posal that he confer regularly with Republican congressional leaders. But there will always be several in- formal channels of communication between the president and the loyal opposition.
 The administrations first major legislative job is to obtain ratifica- ton of new reciprocal trade agree ment authority. The proposal, in fact, is for a grant of authority to the president substantially to lower tariff barriers. Hearings have begun in the House Ways and Means Con- mittee. A tariff bill all but wrecked the Hoover administration in the first months of its existence in 1929.
 MT. Truman is committed to the reciprocal trade program which was conceived by Cordell Hull. who re- signed last year as Secretary Of State.
