s Powerful Members of Alied Countries Believe Secretary of State Wil Not Yield

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 While m making every effort B reach agreemént with Russia and with Britain at Moscow, there is sound reason to believe that Secretary of State Hull I not yield an inch on questions of principle. Inasmuch as Soviet spokesmen "continue to stress

other neighbors, the less powerful members of the united nations find their greatest consolation in Secrery Hull's firmness, / Among the principles which Mr. is expected to defend at Moscow is the American doctrine of “non-recognition” of any title or right obtained by pressure or treaty violation.

* Great Britain, moreover, is morally bound to support that policy. In February, 1932, shortly after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, the then secretary of state, Henry L. Stimson, proposed to London that the two governments issue a

' Although London did not immediately adopt that suggestion, the British later introduced a simflar resolution at Geneva which Was unanimously adopted. The resolution stated that “it is incumnt upon the members of the league of nations not .to recognize any situation, treaty or agreement which may be brought about by means contrary to the covenant of the league or to the pact of Paris.” ~ 80 far as the United States is concerned, those principles are still as alive as ever. As Poland will be one of the test cases at Moscow, tney almost certainly will be invoked by Mr. Hull. Thus Poland's present status becomes important.

Russia Ignores Treaty

In 1932, Soviet Russia and Poland signed a pact of non-aggression. “Any act of violence attacking the integrity and inviolability of the territory or the political indepenwas definitely ruled out. Renewed two years

for a second front and post-war recognition of Russia's 1941 boundaries, Though secrecy surrounded the conferences, two versions of their work spread among Anglo-Amer-ican circles here with the truth probably lying somewhere midway between them, These two versions are: 1. The three foreign ministers merely contemplate the fullest possible exchange of views preparatory to a definitive meeting among President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Marshal Stalin. 2. The conference is standing on its own feet and is authorized to adopt certain political and economic decisions. Submit Agendas

U. 8. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Soviet Foreign Commissar Viacheslav M. Molotov were revealed to have submitted separate agendas for discussion with the understanding that no subject would be taboo, ’ Renewed emphasis in the controlled Russian press on the urgency of opening a Second front and the

daries—including half of pre-1939 Poland, the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia * and Estonia and Rumania’s Besserabia—gave a possible clue to the topics submitted by Molotov. The three foreign ministers, each accompanied by a general, met for four hours yesterday with the presence of the military men suggesting that the second front may have

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (U, Plem Congréssional sources today attributed to Gen, George C. Marshall a statement that Russia's insistent demands for a second front in Europe seemed to stem in part from Russian failure to understand completely the technique and problems of amphibious warfare, Marshall, chief of staff, and other members of the army high command appeared yesterday before a closed meeting of house members. They will give a repeat performance for senators this afternoon. : While members were cautious not to reveal any military secrets fmparted to them, several said they| were impressed by Marshall's analysis of the second front problem. They said he indicted that the Russians may have underestimated the great difficulties and hazards of amphibious operations since they have had little experience in them, while the allies have been learning some hard lessons in Africa, Sicily, Italy and the Pacific, . Prospects Improve ‘One member, deemed by colleagues to be better informed than most on military matters, stated his own behef that a cross-channel invasion at this time would end disastrously. However, with constant air attacks and the growing might of all allied arms, the prospects should improve month by month, . Emphasizing that he. was not basing his statement on any confidential information given yesterday by Marshall, this member said: “No allied military leader with a comprehensive knowledge of the situation believes we could launch a successful cross-channel operation in the face of present German might.”
