charter. But meanwhile it expert
enced a new furry of excitement
as result of Frances request that
a three-man commission be set up
here to investigate the dispute in

mitted however, that it might be
outside the authority of this con-
ference
The request, made to Secretary of
State Edward r. Stettinius. Jr..
as one of the four presidents of the
conference, probably will be re-
jected. No one-not even the French
would let it delay Tuesdays ad-
journment plans.
But it was potentially embarrass-
ing for the Big Four sponsoring
powers since it placed them in the
light of rejecting at the birth Of
the new organization a request for
cancellation in a dispute. Actually.
this conference has no power To
set up such commission, espe-
cially one to deal with a bitterly
disputed political question.
The work of this conference Is
done. The charter is now in the
