Again he was overwhelmingly Defeated at luncheon adjournment nobody seemed to know whether he would take his Case to the whole conference. Shortly after two the word was flashed to newspaper correspondents that or. Molotov would meet them immediately hurrying to his quarters they were told by him in a quiet voice that Russia would insist on arguing its views before the conference. An hour later As the plenary session opened in the opera House or. Molotov strode to the Tribune looked grimly at the delegates and began to speak in russian. In contrast to his forceful utterance at the opening the coi Ference he spoke now quietly in Short sentences and with an air of reasonableness and conciliation. After each sentence or two an inter Preter translated his words into English. Molotov states Case Here was the most dramatic moment of the conference for no one knew what attitude Russia would take and the delegates leaned for Ward anxiously in their chairs while or Eden in the chair lounged in an attitude of apparent in t Molotov the disagreement about Poland and the new disagreement about Austria. How these facts will affect the future of the conference and the world remains to be seen but certainly yesterday was a Stark con i Trast to the Quick Hopes and Noble sentiments of the conference open ing.

It was now a matter of Honor among these nations to de Mand the presence of Argentina and clearly the United states was i party to the bargain. The purpose of it was equally whole Western hemisphere South of the j9th parallel wanted to present a unit at this conference.

Jut As Alberto Camargo of Colombia said it was necessary to consider Only Argentina s foreign policy recently domes tic policy was. Nobody else s Busi Ess. But the most remarkable admission about Argentina which was baffling in its naivete came from Ezequiel Padilla the huge saturnine foreign minister of Mexico who said the Argentine government had accidentally divorced itself the sentiments of its people. In tact the Argentine people were democratic even if the government was not and thus the conference was asked to recognize a govern ment which admittedly did not rep resent its people. Before this piece of logic Many weaker minds in the conference must have reeled. But the latin american nations went on to argue for an hour on these lines interrupted Only by Paul Spaak of Belgium a Stout. Shiny and genial figure who earnestly pleaded for the Bussian position. To avoid any rupture of Unity he urged Power fully that the Argentine Issue be postponed. . Refuses to yield but when or. Stettinius Rose to speak it was evident that the United states would not yield but would insist on a decision there and then. Or. Stettinius flatly denied the statement of or. Molotov that the Argentine affair had not been Dis cussed by the big four. On the contrary it had been discussed by them last saturday in his apart ment with delegates of Brazil mexi and Chile As witnesses. Alter this extraordinary clash of Testi Mony Between the two most Power Ful figures in the conference the votes were taken As recounted above and the conference adjourned in a mood of bewilderment. What in effect All this will have on the future of the conference no one could forecast. The reaction of the other nations including Canada was to regret bitterly that any such situation had Arisen that there should have been an open breach Between Russia and the United states and that if there had to be a division it could not have come on some important principle not on such extraneous and relatively unimportant material. The other nations were frankly critical of american Diplo step by step had led the conference into such a predicament. Many believed that the Atti tude developed with the succession of or. Truman As president and the Story that he iad ordered his Dele gation to be firmer with the rus fians seemed to be confirmed. It seen is if or. Roosevelt had been with his Mastery of conciliation. Today s misfortune would not have occurred. Molotov Likely to leave As for the russians they took the conference vote with poker faces As usual returned to their apartments. But there were reports that while Russia would keep its delegates Here and. Strive to make the conference a Success or Molo Tov himself might leave attend to the German problem Ana to demonstrate his displeasure. Meanwhile it was expected new and desperate efforts would be made by the United states and. Britain to Settle the polish problem in the be Lief Poland is. the conference. Russia will feel compensated for. Its defeat monday. The official american attitude to wards the conference proceedings was. Represented As follows there is no reason for Russia feel aggrieved. The process by which Argentina was admitted was democratic and in accordance with the whole spirit conference. Russia accepted this procedure and agreed to abide by its result ind deserves great credit for doing there is no reason to believe that any harm has been done or the Unity of the big three nations impaired in the least.
