Peace Prospect
Declared Good

LONDON --tR- Foreign Secrc-
tary Ernest Bevin, Britain'S trea-
ty ncgotiator and part-timc United
Nations spokesman. is optimistic
over the chances for Friendship
and cooperation between great
powers which he terms the sur
est basis on which to build peace"
II believe we have entered the
first stage of establishing concord
and harmony between great pow
ers. he told the people in a speech
Sunday night adding later:
"Fricndship and cooperation be.
tween great powers is the surest
basis on which TO build peace for
all time" But he warned that
peacemaking would take several
years.
The 5-year-old Labor govern
mcnt diplomat. reported on the big
four foreign minister's trcaty-mak-
ing and the United Nations General
Assembly session in New York,
from which he returned last Thurs
day, and laid down his aims for
the. foreign ministers next meet
ing in Moscow March 10.
Bevin declared that 1.-The war
left two great powers preponderant
the United States of America and
Soviet Russia" with Great Bri-
tain lying midway IN geography
and way OF life
He said that the United States
has shown a Willingness to play
her part to the full" in peace mac
hinery and expressed belief that the
Soviet Union fully realized" at
New York that there was n great
desire for complete understanding.
and that there is throughout the
world a readiness to cooperate with
her and see her develop in her
own way. with the recognition
that others equally have a right to
their own way OF life
In outlining Britain's policy. he
answered critics within his own
party who. during his absence
pushed the government to for.
cign-policy confidence vote. whic h
IL won.
To the criticism that policy was
too close to that Of United States
and that British relations with Rus.
STA were not close enough. he said
that Britain had "a mind and pur.
pose" Of her own. did not "tie her.
self to anybody" except through in
the Y. N. charter and held out
