Big -Four Ministers
Reported Set for
Meeting Tomorrow
Molotov and Bidoult Said
To Have Given Approval
To Byrnes-Bevin PIon
By Newbold Moves, j.
Stor Sioff Correspondent

PARIS, Aug. 28.-A meeting of
the Council of Big Four Foreign
Ministers to discuss methods
whereby the work of this mo-
lasses slow Peace Conference
may be speeded will take place
tomorrow afternoon, it was
learned authoritatively today.
American sources said Russian
Foreign Minister Molotov and
Frances President Bidault had
added their approval of the idea of
Secretary of State Byrnes and Ernest
Bevin, Britain's Foreign Minister.
Although the place of the meeting
is as yet unspecified, it is believed it
will be held at the Quai d'Orsay,
French Foreign Office, rather than
at the Luxembourg Palace, where
the conference meets. Almost GER
tainly, it will be closed to the press.
Mr.. Bevin is expected to return
here from London this afternoon.
1t was he who proposed to Mr..
Byrnes that the Foreign Ministers
get together again. The proposal
was made just before Mr. Bevin left
the conference for the British capital
last Saturday, an American source
revealed
At that time, Mr.. Byrnes is said to
have agreed heartily that Big Four
huddle might be helpful Mr.. Bevin,
it is said, promised to get in touch
with the French and Russian repre-
sentatives, and there the matter
rested.
No Deviation From Policy.
A spokesman for the American
delegation stressed last night that
Mr.. Byrnes has in no way departed
from his previous position that any
meeting of the Big -Four Ministers
taking place during the conference
should deal only with substantive
matters, not with procedural matters
He added, however, that the Sec
retary of State is willing to discuss
the question of what can be done to
