China First of 50 Nations

JAPS SAY NEW

To Sign World Peace Charter INVASION NEAR

(Continued From Page One)

first but futile attempt in this gen- | eration to create international co- | operation and prevent future wars. i The delegations which helped to produce the.present document are | aware of all“the pitfalls ahead of | them. “Some of the delegates—the venerable Field Marshal Jan C. Smuts of South - Africa, the tall, very-' correct Earl of Halifax of Britain, the white, bushy-haired Joseph Paul-Boncour of France, and diminutive Wellington Koo of China | -gsuffered through the league's failures at Geneva. They have repeatedly warned the world against expecting a miracle’ this time and have urged that the charter and the new organization be considered only the beginning of a 1ong-hard road toward peace. The nine-weeks-old United Nations conference is expected to end on that note tonight. Preceding President Truman will be speakers from nine other countries.

Will of the People

The keynote of their semarks— to be delivered in eight languages ~will be that the success of the present organization depends upon the will of the people to make it succeed. Tonight's session will bring to a dramatic and colorful close a conference that has beén marked . for weeks by dull, hard work in the rooms of committees. President Truman took it out of that stage as soon as he arrived here late yesterday by airplane, Riding through the streets of San Francisco, the new President of the United States was ‘given a tumultous reception by San Franciscans and the delegates of the 50 United Nations. A few hours after he arrived, the lucky ticket holders to the ninth plenary session poured into the war memorial opera house for a dramapacked meeting.

Withdrawal Clause

It was Halifax’ turn to preside and he called the meeting to order on the dot—at 9:30 p. m-—and started through the agenda. The reports were approved without incident except for the one containing the recommendation that no mention be made in the charter of withdrawal from the organization, Soviet Delegate Andret A. Gromyko objected to a phrase of explanation in the report which said that withdrawal by a member would leave the burden of maintaining peace on the other members,”

Expression of Sovereignty

“The opinion of the Soviet delegation is that it is wrong to condemn in advance the grounds on which any state might find it necessary to exercise its right of with. drawal from the organization,” he said. “Such right is an expression of state sovereignty and should not be réviled in advance by the international organization.” Halifax, citing the grave importance of the vote about to be taken, asked the heads of delegations to stand to be counted instead of the usual raising of hands. He said: “I would ask the heads of the delegations to rise in their places in order to report their vote on an issue that, I think, is likely to be as important as any of us in our lifetime are ever likely to vote upon. Move Opposed The delegates stood and were counted by Secretary-General Alger

Hiss. When they were seated, Halifax asked:

“Any opposed?” none stood. “I declare the charter adopted unanimously,” Halifax said. The jam-packéd opera house burst into deafening applause accompanied by hurrahs from the balcony. This conference ends today with what veteran diplomats contend is a far more realistic plan for peace

new pln will work only so long as the big powers—the nations which! {defeated the axis, bid for world |conquest—hang together: in peace. The forthcoming years will be the major test of that war-time alliance. It is in such an organization that the delegates here place their faith. | It is an organization -expanded ar | beyond the most optimistic hopes of | those who drafted the original Dum- |

and a majority of the other states —23 nations—have ratified the charter, In the meantime, the conference has set up a “preparatory commission” to get ready for the first meetings. There appears to be virtually no doubt that the necessary ratification will be forthcoming’ by the end of the year. The preparatory commission will hold a brief organizing meeting here Wednesday morning, It will] elect officers and set the date for| the first meeting within a few weeks at its headquarters—London. . Plan First Session Phe commission will be composed of a representative of all 50 nations, but the work will be done by a small 14-nation executive committee—composed of the same nations which served here on the conference executive committee. The major work of the preparatory commission will be to prepare recommendations for the first meetings of the 'general assembly and the security council of the new organization. Among those will be studies and recommendations for a permanent headquarters of the new league— an issue that was not discussed here.

It was said the usual black market price for potatoes here in the wholesale market is $6 a bag about $2 over the established ceiling price. Wholesalers frequently give no bill of sale, retailers say, and many of them withhold their identity. This is especially true of those who sell directly from trucks that visit the retailers and tempt them to buy.

WIESBADEN, Germany, June 26 (U. P).—Field Marshal Sir Ber- | nard L. Montgomery said today that American entry into the war

was “the only thing that saved Britain.”

Montgomery made his tribute as he presented British medals to about 100 American officers and enlisted men.

“I feel as do all British peoples,” he said, “that we owe.you Americans a tremendous debt. one which we will never be able to | repay fully.” Montgomery spoke to 100 men, who broke ranks and sat on the grass of the sunbaked sportsplatz here. “We were finished in 1941 until you gave us a helping hand,” ,he told the Americans.
