Mexican delegation chief said
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee and
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan. members of the American
delegation. expressed faith in Sue
cess of the conference in departing
statements to the Senate yesterday
Il have faith that we may perfect
this charter of peace and justice SO
that reasonable men of good will
shall find in it so much good, so
much emancipation for human
hopes, that all lesser doubts and dis
agreements may be resolved in its
favor Senator Vandenberg said.
Senator Cornally declared the
charter of the proposed organiza-
ton. on which the Senate eventually
will have to pass, will not be perfect,
but he predicted that the plan
finally produced here will provide
for more fleXibility in future years
than the Dumbarton Oaks proposals
as they now stand.
He said that there will be amend
ing clauses in the instrument. prob
ably more liberal than those in
the Dumbarton Oaks agreements,
through which We can, over the
years, build up an instrumentality

proposad peyis, lone Aornod m
Senator Connally's words made 1t
clear that the United States delega-
ton, in its recent meetings here,
has agreed on proposing some
changes in the Dumbarton Oaks
plan This raised the question as
to how free a hand all the countries,
large and small. might have in try
ing to put through notifications.
Secretary Stettinius has said the
conference would be wide open to
proposals, which is taken here to
mean that any country, large or
small may introduce whatever
amendments it likes. However, 1t
appears reasonably certain that none
of the small nations may look for
outright backing from any one of
the big powers in opposition to the
others.
1t seems equally certain that each
OF the big powers will seek strenu-
o,sly to avoid undertaking any ac-
ton on its own part which might
bring about a split in the ranks OF
the four sponsoring nations.
This method of future procedure
which the Big Four agreed on does
not, of course, provide settlement
for tAe preconference issues which
have already developed among them
chiefly the question Of seating a
Polish delegation.
There is much speculation as to-
whether Russia will formally pro-
pose that the conference recognize
the Warsaw government of Poland
by seating a delegation, contrary to
the position taken by the United
States and Britain.
Warning on Atrocities.
Mr.. Molotovs arrival also was
awaited for release of three-pow-
er warning to Germans on atrocities
which Allied troops have found
mounting in horror as the Nazis
near defeat.
Prime Minister Churchill an
nounced in the House of Commons
yesterday that he had drafted a
declaration on German crimes with
Premier Stain and President Tru-
man, which would be published after
the meeting of foreign secretaries
here.
Meanwhile. after getting a direct
report on tangled relations with
Russia from Ambassador w. Averell
Hartman. Mr.. Truman expressed
hope before the foreign diplomatic
corps for an era of cordial inter-
national good feeling.
At reception yesterday after
noon at his temporary home in the
Blair House, Mr.. Truman shook
hands with the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of So nations.
Il met many of you when I was
Vice President and our relation
ship was very good" he said in a
brief speech.
Il hope that our relationship will
continue to be just as cordial as
1t was when was Vice President.
II hope our relationship will con-
tinue to be on the same cordial
plane nationally and with the world
as it Is between you and me-
