ter to Dumbarton Oaks. The main
point OF difference so far in dis
cussions which have arisen in recent
days is whether to pledge ultimate
independence or self government to
the dependent peoples under trustee
ship.
The British, French and others
are sticking out for "self govern

and 1raqs for independence" The
United States delegates are going
along with "self-government," hold
ing that ultimate independence is
implicit in self-government.
This issue has been passed tempo

new chapter have been agreed to in
committee, particularly that which
declares for the creation of a sys-

mlttee on an International Court.
Mr. Gallagher said in this connec-
ton: "The question whether a new
