ill. S. Sure Of Main
'Objectives At
Conference
1 ■■■■
! SAN FRANCISCO May 28—</P>
—President Truman and Secre
tary Stettinius apparently are sure
i of their main objectives at the
I United Nations’ conference and
are now beginning to turn the
American foreign pol’cy toward a
more decisive role in world af
fairs. Secretary Stettinius will
make a major radio speech to
the American people and the
armed forces overseas at 7:30 p.m.
PWT. tonight. It is pegged on a
review of the work of the security
conference.
In the confreence itself only
one major issue remains: that of
the veto voting formula by which
the great powers intend to control
the projetced world security coun- •
cil, and its machinery designed
to preserve peace. United States,
Russian, British and Chinese lead
ers worked through the week end
on a statement of twelve to fif
teen paragraphs. It intended to
tell the nations exactly how the1
veto will work and give assur-!
ances that it will not be abused,
and declared it will not prevent
any aggrieved or threatened na-;
tion from appealing to the coun
cil.
