NATIONS OPEN PEACE PARLEY
300 Delegates Seek Way to Prevent War. (Continued From Page One)
dent’s words on the occasion of his last public appearance on March 1. He then told a joint session of the congress: “The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, one party or one nation, It must be a peace which rests upon the cooperative effort of the whole world.” In that spirit these delegates approached the differences raised among them. Their goal is to prepare “a charter for ‘a general international organization for the maintenance of international peace and security.” To Draft Peace Charter The United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and China jointly on March 5 invited the 41 other members of the United Nations to meet here today for that purpose. Last autumn in the DumbartonOaks conference, the sponsoring powers devised a tentative charter for the world security orgahization. It is the basis upon which
“the delegates begin Hei work to=
: Ttorts hota’ Pode conferences like. the World War I Versallles conference—at which the fate of the vanquished and the will of the
victors is to be written into a for-|
mal compact. This conference has only one pur-| pose. That is to draft a charter for collective action to safeguard peace. That charter ultimately will be submitted to ‘various United Nations for ratification. In the United Btates it will be submitted by Mr. Truman to the senate. ; Similar to World League The proposed world security organization will not be called a league of nations. But it is similar in purpose and outline to the luckless league which was conceived during world war I by Woodrow Wilson. It is a colorful and dramatic scene, All the nations, big and little are here except the enemy, the six neutrals and half a dozen others whose status either is indeterminate or in dispute. Disputed are the rights of Poland and Argentina to be seated. here. Represehtatives of. neither will be present. British and American opposition to seating representatives of the Russian-sponsored Lublin govern- | ment of Poland apparently has| reached a conference-opening stale-| mate. The United Press was informed | that Stettinius made a complete] and unpromising report on the Polish question when he arrived :here | yesterday from Washington, The secretary of state was reli- | ably reported to have told other | members of the American delegation that no progress toward solution of the Polish deadlock had been made during preliminary discussions in Washington.

- Dedicated to the citizens of San
Francisco who gave their lives in the service of their country.” Those words took on new meaning today. When head usher Meade gives | the signal, high school boys and . girls—all honor students—will turn to greet the delegates. The boys will wear. dark blue suits, white shirts and ties. Those who don't own blue suits will have to wear brown. The girls will wear dark dresses, white middies and dark ties. ; Brilliant Stage Set As the delegates enter the lobby, they will glimpse a glowing stage set by Jo Mielziner, New York stage designer. Large pillars symbolize the four freedoms. They are connected by garlands of laurel wreaths—symbols of unity, peace and victory. Behind the pillars fly silk flags of the 46 United Nations. A military guard of honor—soldiers, sailors and marines—will occupy the stage where Lily Pons, Kirsten Flagstad, Lauritz Melchoir, Grace Moore and Lawrence Tibbett have sung. As the delegates are seated, an elaborate lighting system, bolstered by extra generators, will swell to brilliancy and music from the military band will meet it in crescendo.

Holland and perhaps even Denmark and the Scandinavian states. He proposed the pooling of all military information and establishment of common aid and naval bases and general staff plans. These would be kept constantly up to date for common mutual defense action, It was the failure of successive Belgian cabinets before 1039 to consent to military understandings with: France and Britain which prevented the completion of the Maginot line from Mezieres to the sea. west and Belgium was invaded, no
common .plan was ready for mili-
tary action. The French and Belgian. general stafls had to i? vise under fire. ‘With © those lessons in mind, Bpaak said, Belgium is ready to take a vigorous part in both international and regional security arrangements. - Regional pacts, he

even justice must be examined with a view to fresh clarity. In a press conference after his | arrival, Secretary of State Stet-¢ tinius issued a statement saying the | four governments sponsoring the | United Nations conference had] agreed {o specific proposals put) forward by the Chinese government. The first specified that the United | Nations charter should provide that | the adjustment of international disputes should be achieved with | due regard for the principles of | justice and international law. This is a very laudable though wordy statement, couched in terms that seem’ to ‘carry a lofty regard) for what we term “justice.” But upon what code of justice will this be made effective? It The Soviets of Russia have a judical code prepared within recent years that is singuldrly Russian. Their interpretation of law and| the just deserts of law - breakers]
[vary widely from the accepted code
{of Britain and the “United States. May Face Deadlocks While the Russian representatives have agreed fo this proposal and it will become a part of the United Nations charter, are the powers sure what they mean when they | say disputes should be settled with due regard for principles of justice? This is only a minor point in| the program and one that needs little dissection but when the conference begins its debate on the | most important issue of all, mel right of a great nation to veto by|. its single vote the use of force] against an aggressor, then -will| come such wide divergences of] usage and definition that the dele- | gates might - well become deadlocked through failure to under-| | stand each other. | The responsibility for this effort | at understanding should be placed “largely upon the English-speaking sections of the conference.

They are only asking for a voice—perhaps a very tiny voice but, a voice nevertheless—in planning the world ahead. Each and all of them, they point out, will have certain very definite peace responsibilities. That being the case, they contend, they can hardly be expected to help perpetuate a peace made only by four or five of the great powers. ’ That, some of them say with a smile,, would be tantamount to taxation without representation.

Meantime, they had established a | new political, economic | and social regime which’ was ac|cepted by their diverse population as infinitely better than what had existed under the czars. To the Russian peoples, liberty] consisted of the right to education | which they had never had. meant freedom to grow up in a ma-
{chine age which fascinated them
beyond our powers of imagination. Therefore, when we attack the proposed voting procedure in the security council, when the grave question of a free, independent and democratic Poland is discussed, the hope has grown here that a new appreciation of the terms will be reached. ‘Must Compromise
When our Russian allies speak of
the sovereignty of the Polish peo- |
ples, of their own Ukrainians, there must be some effort to define those terms in the light of Russian un- | derstanding. In brief,
the English speaking peoples
must eventually compro-
mise. They must strain at many| {points to grasp a new terminology jor to accept new definitions. Where, (at first, American minds rebelled at
the proposed right of a nation to
|veto the use of force to prevent an
impending war, there is a strong drift to an acceptance of that point of view growing out of the preliminary talks here.
And when the Polish issue ‘is raised, the Russian delegates un{doubtedly intend to point with pride to their liberation of Poland and the ensuing establishment of what they term a democratic government. New Meaning of Words
In this, the Russians will be com- | pletely sincere. The Lublin govlernment to thelr way of thinking fulfills all of the essentials of a freely chosen administration to remain in power until a free election gives all Poles a chance to vote their leaders.
Only three powers, Russia, Brit-
(time. If, here at San Franc (these. powers can come to Jr ican find- a common. basis of un-| derstanding, then world security [will become a reality. It will require a great effort and a steady education of the English speaking public in a new dictionary of words and phrases.

Bremen Battle Rages On the third great western battlefront, along Germany's north- | western coast, the British 2d army hurled waves of tanks and infantrymen into the burning port of Bremen and began rooting out the die-hard Nazi garrison in a bitter, block-by-block fight. The three-army American and French drive across. Bavaria suggested strongly that allied military leaders believed Hitler or his Nazi aids actually would make their last fight in the southern redoubt. Upwards of 2000 American and French tanks were on the loose along the 250-mile three-army front, making the Bavarian offensive one of the greatest armored operations of the war. Fanatical Defense German resistance was stiff and ‘at times fanatical on the French land American 7th army fronts, but Patton's surprise strike for. Berchtesgaden appeared to have demoralized even the hand-picked Nazi units chosen for the last stand in Bavaria. In the first ghree days since they wheeled southward to join the Bavarian offensive, Patton's men had ridden more than 100 miles over traversing well over half the distance to Berchtesgaden without meeting more than sporadic opposition. The speed of the drive suggested that the colorful Patton might wind up as the hunter who finally holes up Hitler and his Nazi party chieftains to wind up the European conflict. The 11th armored division made the closest approach to Berchtesgaden last night with a-27-mile run sogtheastward from captured Cham to Regen.

MAYOR POSTPONES CHIEFS’ PAY RAISES
Mayor Tyndall today had failed | to sign within the 10-day limit a city ordinance appropriating funds that would have raised the salaries of Fire Chief Harry Fulmer and Police’ Chief Jesse McMurtry. On the legal advice of Corporation ‘Counsel Arch Bobbitt, Mayor Tyndall withheld his signature. Mr. Bobbitt’s opinion contends that the ordinance conflicts with a 1933 state law. He expressed the be-
“lief that this law prohibits an in-
crease ih the salaries of police and fire chiefs after their salaries have been fixed in the budget for a fiscal year, The ordinance would have ‘boosted the salary of each from $5200 to $6000 annually. It was understood that Mayor Tyndall, with the approval of the city council, could establish the new salaries in the 1946 budget without possible legal conflict.
