Churchill Address
May Force Settlement
OF Polish Question

New pressure on Russia to CO.
operate in Fastening creation OF a
new Polish provisional government
of national unity was seen today in
news from London that Prime Min
lister Churchill is preparing to dis
cuss the Polish situation in the
House of Commons next week.
Anglo Americana Russian consulta-
tions in Moscow, aimed at paving
the way for formation Of the new
government in time for it to be
invited to the United Nations Sc
curity Conference opening in San
Francisco April 25, appear to have
begged down.
The tendency both here and in
London is to put most of the re-
sponsibllity on the Russian negotla-
tors for the delay in carrying out
the Big Three Crimea Conference
agreement for democratic reorgani-
zation of the Communist dominated
Polish provisional government now
functioning at Warsaw
Serves Notice on Moscow.
Announcement that Mr.. Churchill
will air the situation in Commons,
probably next Thursday, amounted
to telling Moscow that if there was
no progress in the consultations by
then the facts of very unhappy
condition among the Big Three
could not be kept secret any longer.
1t was hoped here that such an
implied threat might tend to speed
progress toward solution. which
appears to have been held up by
widely varying Russian and Anglo
American interpretations of the
Crimea agreement as to the extent
of reorganization of the Warsaw
government necessary to qualify it
for recognition by the United States
and Great Britain.
Meanwhile. diplomats here specu-
lated on the possibility that at least
the first meeting of the world Sc
curity organization to be set up at
San Francisco will be held in this
country. This possibility is strength
ened by war devastation in Europe,
which might work against an early
meeting there even if some Euro
pean city such as Vienna might be
selected as the permanent head
quarters of the international Or
ganization.
Plans Progressing Here.
Preliminary work for the San
Francisco Conference went forward
here in policy sessions of the Amer
lean delegation and in a meeting of
committee Of jurlStS. representing
most of the United Nations which
is revising the statute of the old
World Court to fit into the new
security organization.
The jurists were expected to reach
today or tomorrow consideration of
that section of the court statute
which would raise the question of
whether some provision should be
made for enforcement of its deci-
sions on disputes which might
threaten world peace.
One aspect of the discussions
W IlliAll LliC EA1iiCllAoll VIC lAOll pi
sumably was reflected in a speech
yesterday by Chairman Connally Of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mlttee, one of the delegates, who
said he believed the United States
representative on the proposed World
Security Council should be free to
act to use force in prevention Of
war without referring to Congress
for authority in each case.
One of Main Issues.
1t seems certain that this will be
one of the main issues for decision
by the Senate if the San Francisco
Conference produces, as expected, a
charter of world organiza ton which
the President shortly thereafter
would recommend to the Senate for
ratification.
Meanwhile, in a speech In New
York last night, former Undersec-
retary of State Sumner Welles urged
that the inter-American regional
system be preserved in the projected
new world organization.
from the STANDPOINT OF the
safety and future well-being of the
Americas" he said, "it is my earnest
hope, when the world organization
is created that the regional system
Of the Americas will be one of the
cornerstones upon which it is
founded"
He predicted that if all the initial
responsibility" necessary for main
tanning peace in this hemisphere
is intrusted to the inter- American
system, mo threat to the peace of
the rest of the world will ever arise
from within the Americas
The Chevy Chase Presbyterian
Church sent kilograms to the Amer
lean delegates to San Francisco de-
claring that I'VE shall pray most
earnestly that you may have a con-
