The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-03-11

scheduled meeting next week--or if 1t reveals itself still not strong enough-to cope with major rows between the big powers, another Big Three meeting appears inevitable.
 Both UNO and Americans of- flcials here were confident there would be little consideration given to another Attlee- Truman -Stalin meeting until after the Security Council has had another chance to show It's colors.
 President Truman said last week he hadn't heard of any plans for another Big Three meeting. But he did 5ay that the next one-if held should bc in Washington.
 The 10 days before the Security Counci lis scheduled to meet in New York promise to be additional days of blunt speakin gabout Iran, Manchuria, Bulgaria, Spain, and other world trouble spots.
 Last week was an unprecedented one in diplomatic history. The United States and the Soviet Union accused each other publicly of vio- lations of agreements. This set the stage for a United States-Rus- stan battle" at the UNO council meeting which may surpass the London "show" staged by Soviet Vice ConimisSar of Foreign Affairs Andrei I. ViShinsh and British Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin.
 More exchanges of notes, and publication of them, are due in the next few days. They will 90 far in drawing the lines before the meeting between the worlds two greatest powers. Here Is what is in prospect:
 Bulgaria-the United States is, preparing an answer to Soviet Rus- sia's charge that an American note to Bulgaria violated the Moscow agreement for creation of a new Bulgarian government and that the American representative in Bulgaria was urging the opposition parties not to act in accordance with the Moscow decision.
 Iran-the United States expects prompt" answer to it's note asking Russia to withdraw its troops from Iran immediately on grounds their retention there violates Big Three Tehran declaration on Iran.
 Protest Due
 Manchuria-the United States is expected to make public within a few days it's protest against Russian policies in Manchuria. The note was understood to protest retention of Soviet troops in the area beyond the promised Feb, date of departure: removal by Soviete forces of Man. churian industrial machinery as war booty, and Russia's proposal to China without consultation with the other Allies to operate jointly the remaining industry in Manchuria.
 Spain-the United States has re- piled to the French proposal to bring the Spanish situation before the security council. It is believed to support the British position in opposition to airing the Spanish situation before LIMO. Russia is supporting France. thus setting the stage for an Anglo-Amerlcan versus Sovlet-Freneh row. The U. s. note should be made public early this week.
 GerEnany-FFance is waiting for the U. S. reply to its proposal to hold a four power conference in- medlately to consider German prob lems, including the French plan to deEach the Rhineland, Ruhr and the saaT permanently from Germany. The original American note and the French reply were published Friday.
 Few, if any, Of these problems can be settled before the security o0un. cll meets. Then the major question is whether council debates, either on some Of these issues or on others.
