proposal for a peace conference, he still was with-
out authority to act upon it. The proposal had
been discussed for a week. Further discussion without
action was futile.
It was also obvious that once the four proto-
cols were signed, it would be useless on the follow-
ing day to discuss the question of inserting in the
protocols the decision of September 11. An.objec-
tion by the Soviet Delegation would prevent its
insertion.
The Soviet Delegation also reiterated their
position that they would not discuss the treaties
in the presence of members they now believed to be
ineligible. This would have excluded China from
the consideration of all treaties and France from
the consideration of all but one, without any as-
surance of participation in a. peace conference.
It became apparent that agreement was im-
possible and further meetings were useless. The.
Chinese Foreign Minister, who was presiding when
the Council adjourned and at whose instance the
Council had remained in session from Sunday until
Tuesday, stated that under the cireumstances he
could not ask the Council to continue in session
longer.
As the record stands the Foreign Minister
of the Soviet Union has not rejected our proposal
for a peace conference. During the discussions
he admitted it was correct in principle. My hope
is that, after he has conferred with his govern-
ment, his government will agree that the nations
that fought the war--the World War--shall have a
chance to make: the world peaçe.
