Prospects are that this plan may

To Discuss Changes
Almost every delegation has
some changes In mind for the Dunn
barton Oaks plan, but few OF the
small nation representatives ac-
tually expect to put up stiff fights.
Here are some alterations being
discussed.
/. Foreign Minister Paul Henri
Spaak OF Belgium says It Is "es-
sential In case OF emergency that
regional organizations dixie the
Pan-American Union) have power
to use force without reference to
the world security council.
2. Herbert v. Evatt, Australian
Minister OF external affairs, serv-
ed notice he would demand that
the Big Five be denied the right
to veto amendments which in fu-
ture years might otherwise be pro-
posed for the world organization.
8. Evatt also endorses another
idea many OF the so-called middle
powers support-that the six ro-
tating memberships on the securi-
ty council be held by nations cap
able of helping to preserve peace
by force-such as Australia and
Canada which have fought heavily
in this war.
4. General expansion OF the pow
ers of the assembly, in which small
er nations of the world will have
their say. Along this line two de.
velopments seemed assured: the
Chinese proposal to which the Rus
slams agreed, in addition to the
section on justice, provided (a) for
making the assembly responsible
for developing international law
and (b) through the economic and
social council. for promoting cul-
tural cooperation among the ma
lions.
