IAN open mind" on the problem Of
making provision in the treaty struc-

C. L. Sulzberger. the writer, said
he received a letter from Secretary
OF State Byrnes which emphasized
the difficulty of providing in advance
methods for peaceful changes in
frontiers and in the other specifica-
tions laid down in treaties which
the conference will consider and
then submit to the Four Power
Foreign Ministers Council for final
approval.
Diplomatists in Paris, including
members of the Foreign Ministers
Council delegations, the Times said.
believe the treaty draft recon-
mendations being made by the
Council now are not perfect and
might admit of some changes at
future dates.
Problem Is Difficult.
A partial text Of Mr.. Byrnes' letter
as quoted by Sulzberger:
The problem of providing the
means for peaceful change is q
difilcult one. We all know the world
does move and that, If the use of
force is to be avoided, ways must be
found Of facilitating changes BY
peaceful means. On the other hand
it would be difficult to secure the
acceptance Of almost any settlement
of controversial character If the
means Of upsetting it are too readily
available.
Article II was inserted into the
charter OF the United Nations to
provide way of facilitating needed
changes by peaceful means. There
may be question whether the
way there provided is wholly ade-
quate. 1t is difficult at this time
to find other and more effective

charter. Mr.. Sulzberger said. pro-
vides that while the Security Coun-
Gil is examining any dispute or sit

not make any recommendation re-
garding such dispute or recommen-

so requests.
Further, article II provides that
the secretary general, with the con-
sent of the Security Council, shall
notify the General Assembly at each
session of any matters relative to

Red Writer Halls Actions
OF Ministers on Treaties

MOSCOW, July s tP).-A Tass
dispatch from Paris today said the
major problems at the foreign min
listers conference were solved when
agreements we're reached July 4 on
questions centering around the
peace treaty drafts.
The friends of peace will view
with satisfaction the results already
achieved at the Paris ministers con-
ference" the Tass correspondent
wrote. The question yet to be
solved concerning particularly the
Balkan treaties should not offer
special hardships, according to the
general opinion"
Reviewing the Paris conference
and the results obtained so far, the
writer said Foreign Minister v. M.
Molotov and the Soviet delegation
took firm stand from the start
against moves that placed what he
termed conflicting and half -digested
proposals before the peace treaty
conference.
The Tass writer said the United
States and Britain insisted stub
bornly on convening the peace con-
ference before completing their
main job of preparing peace treat
ies," but showed what he described
as even greater intractibility on
Italian reparations and the Italian
peace treaty until agreements were
finally reached.
Yuri Zhukov, commentator for
the newspaper Izvestia, also writing
from Paris today, said the British
were trying to build up Mediter-
ranean monopoly in communica-
tions by retaining control of Italian
cables that they seized during the
war.
