was entitled to change individual ministers, so it
should be stated that he was. entitled to fill vaçan-
cies created by, the resignations of individual mem-
bers of the cabinet.
MR. BYRNES suggested that Mr. Molotov's pro-
posal be transmitted to the drafting committee.
2. Far Eastern Commission
MR. BEVIN suggested that the meeting discuss
the FEC. He said that the only unsettled questions
appeared to be that of India and voting procedure.
He asked his colleagues to agree to the inclusion
of India.
MR. BYRNES stated that he had agreed, to this
on behalf of the United States Government. That had
been two or three months ago, since which time India
had been represented in the meetings of the Far
Eastern Commission. Mr. Byrnes had no objections
at this time to India's serving on the Commission.
MR. MOLOTOV said that he had already expressed
the Soviet view on this proposal and asked that
further discussion be deferred until tomorrow.
MR. BEVIN . took up the question of voting pro-
cedure; under paragraph V 2. The original British
proposal was that only two of the representatives of
the four powers (United States, United Kingdom,
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and China) should
concur with the majority. The latest draft provided
for concurrence of all four.
MR. BYRNES stated that the United States had
originally proposed the concurrence of three and
that the Soviet Government had suggested four.
MR. MOLOTOV stated that he believed it only
just and right, in order to insure the friendly col-
laboration of all four powers in Far Eastern issues,
to provide for four power concurrence. This would
be in the interest of world peace.
MR. BEVIN faced a difficulty in agreeing to this.
