Show F Y Yf mN f By AUL LON y Released by Western Newspaper Union RUSSIAN DELEGATES SHOW AMIABLE WORLD RELATIONS SAN FRANCISCO Definite and positive assertions as to what this conference and the world will do are ar being flung rather freely around A commonly popular one in the the- news is that the conf conference conference conference-as rence-as rence as one one- exceptionally able writer has put it has proceeded to the point where a new era is assured 1 Behind this line of current thought i running through the news and com- com ft ment is the idea f y that the Russians Russians- r have been brought 14 l around to acce acceptance acceptance accept accept- tance t- t ance of democratic democratic- methods They gave gave- in on the Argentine Argentine- question and Molotov Molotov Molo Molo- fr tov toy afterward called s' s on State Secreta Secretary tary and made mad Molotov 1 o I 0 t ov certain other g geso gestures es- es 5 tures creating anew a a. anew new amiable and friendly spirit It is thus true enough that the attitude attitude attitude atti atti- tude with which Mr Molotov if not Russia herself came into this conference conference conference con con- ference is being altered But down deep inside everyone everyone everyone every every- one here knows peace and the settlement of world problems will be a long process The mil mil- is nowhere here yet visible visible visible ble to my eyes The precise degree degree degree de de- j gree of pro progress ress that has been made is that Russia has shown a willingness to cooperate and that this has put the delegates naturally in a better frame of mind Now is this new spirit can be carried carried carried car car- carI I ried forward to the application of all aU 1 problems then the new era will wilI truly have arrived But to keep a proper perspective of the actual condition it must be reported that the problems problems problems lems still remain all of them many grave deep problems of of every economic financial and political political political poli poli- nature What has been done done- here so far has been merely to getan getan get getan an agreement on the organization of the conference Therefore it should be plain future hopes here can not be based on the receptivity of oC this governments attitude toward Russia but upon the receptivity of the Russian attitude toward democratic demo demo- democratic cra cratic tic Iro processes esse I fiCtiOn TaKen raxen The questions I hear asked by byj byL L 1 men here who have given earnest s II i thought to the matter all run down t tto to that single focal proposition It took this world peace meeting meeting- exactly a week to get down to the the- business of naming its committees and commissions to do the actual work for which it was assembled During that week the loud speakers speak speak- ers of the opera house recorded speeches from all the interested parties and the organizational disputes disputes disputes dis dis- of the major powers The speeches set forth largely large large- ly the pleas of the small powers for mutual respect of nations nations nations na na- na- na recognition of human values Principles of justice not not far from the line which Mr Truman laid down at the the- outset in his appeal for simple justice I would say that as asfar asfar asfar far as words are concerned most of the nations are not far apart but some of them were not represented represented rep rep- represented resented in all these It may be reported also that the smaller nations will win concessions concessions concessions conces conces- in the Dumbarton formula the extent and nature of which will vill willbe be ironed out by bargaining bargaining and and this represents progress also j j Behind all these developments however the nations were sounding sounding sounding sound sound- ing each other out From their experiences experiences experiences ex ex- they have a more complete complete com corn knowledge of just lust how much each one wants To that extent great progress has been made But it would be safer to report progress ess here not here not victory The nine point program of Dumbarton Dumbarton Dum Dum- 0 barton Oaks amendments adopted t by the American delegation represented represented U seated quite a personal victory for Senator It was the Michigan Republican who first demanded the main points such as inclusion of the word and ideal of Justice through the charter and opportunity for future peaceful change of the world setup as well as the charter Other forces prescribed prescribed prescribed pre
