Dozens 'of other small-nation

Stettinius used the interval for
another consultation with Latin-
American foreign ministers on tho
question of blending a Pan-American
security plan into a world
peace-keeping organization.
Stettinius expressed confidence
to reporters , thas this can be ac
complished successfully, but ho
made it clear that if it comes to m
choice between the inter-American
and world systems, the world plan
is paramount in our minds.
"The United States delegation ia
in San Francisco,' he said "to
write a charter for a world organ ;.

inter-American organization to us
we pursue that wider objective."
Stettinius asserted that an

"2. - Recognize that the inher
