ROSEBUR NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBUR&, CRESOW,' TUESDAY, MAY 2T, 1 946 SIX Byrnes Warns Russia to Quit Blocking Peace Plan (Continued from Page 1) verf e or modify the Russian posi tlon on these questions. On the one looming biggest In his estimate the making of peace treaties so that the nations ot Europe can begin to "jive ana breathe" again, Byrnes declared he was confident that there would be a peace conference of the Eu ropean nations and other inter ested powers tnis summer. Recalling that at Paris Molotov blocked such a proposal, Byrnes said this power to stop "all efforts toward peace" must not be left to any one nation and added : "If a peace conference is not called this summer, the United States will feel obliged to request the general assembly of the United Nations under Article 14 of the charter to make recom mendations with respect to the peace settlements. Disappointment Voiced The article he cited gives the assembly power to intervene In any situation involving the gen eral welfare or the world. "There is no iron curtain Byrnes said, "that the aggregate sentiments of mankind cannot Denetrate." Of the Paris meeting he said that progress toward peace settle ments in Europe had been "dis appointingly small" but that some progress had been made chiefly in clartiying issues ana letting the governments of the four powers know where tney stand with relation to each other, "Another Failure" Pepper While most early congressional reaction to Byrnes' speech was favorable, Senator Popper( D.- Fla.) told a reporter he considered it 'pnort on "another failure." "They may think they started an 'ouensive for peace,' " Pepper asserted, "but they started It with a broadaxe. The Russians are not going to make peace as long as they think the United Slates and Britain are trying to make a peace that will serve their nationalistic Interests alone." Chairman Connally (D-Texas) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who with Senator Vandenberg (R.-Mlch.) accom panied Byrnes to Paris as an ad viser, termed the secretary's ad dress "lucid and comprehensive." Vandenberg planned his own report to the Senate today. Major Problems Listed The half dozen top problems which Byrnes listed as involving Russia are these: 1. The holding of a peace con ference. He said that when the Big Four reconvene June 15 the United States will insist on a peace conference for either July 1 or 15, whether or not the big powers have agreed on treaty drafts. 2. Solution of the problem of Trieste. This Is the main obstacle in writing a peace treaty for Italy. Byrnes said the United States, Britain and France favor a settlement of this boundary territory dispute along nn ethnic or nationally line which would give Trieste, but not all the sur rounding country; to Italy. Rus si'a uncompromisingly backed ! Yugoslavia's claim -to the entire awa. 3 i, r 3. Future oconornltf- arrange ments In the Balkans.. Byrnes said the United States is' insisting on , economic clauses In tlio Hun garian, Romanian and Bulgarian treaties which would develop free cofnmcrce in the eastern and cen tral European nations. Particu larly he declared that if Russia opposes "exclusive political und economic blocs Molotov will not continue, to refuse to allow these nation? ' "to open their gates to the commerce of an. 4. Long range suppression of Germany. Byrnes said that while his proposal for a 25-year, Big Four alliance to control Germany received British and French sup port, he also had thought Russia would go along because Stalin had promised to do so at Moscow last December. Molotov. however, op posed the treaty, and it did not go through. "It is our sincere hope," Byrnes Bald, "that after the Soviet Union studies our proposal and comes to appreciate our earnest desire to see Germany disarmed and kept disarmed, the Soviet Union will support It wholeheartedly." 5. A German peace treaty, Byrnes proposed at Paris, but the Russluns blocked, a plan for creating a council of special acpuues wno would begin at once the task of drawing up perma nent peace arrangements with the beaten Reich. The Russian objection to this was that Molotov It Is a Serious Mistake to let discouragement creep Into your child's mind because of defective tight, for optometry can surely aid your child to see to enjoy lite.
