WASHINGTON, April %. -P)--
Secretary of State Byrnes took off
for the Foreign Ministers confer

mission so critical that he suggest

in the need of prayer.
Byrnes was scheduled to arrive
at Paris in II IL hours-about noon
Paris time-and meet with Foreign
Ministers Molotov of Russia, Bevin
of Britain and Bidault of France
on Thursday. The purpose of the
meeting is to try to break the Big
Four deadlock over making peace
treaties with Italy, the Balkan
states and Finland in order to
speed removal of occupation forces
from all those countries and bring
real atmosphere of peace to Eu-
rope.
Unity At Stake
Beyond that, at least some Of
Byrnes' advisers think, the unity
of the great powers in peacetime is
at stake, for if they cannot joint
ly work out peace treaties, they
may have to tackle the problem or
some sort of separate basis. This
