MR LIE’S HOPES
PLAN TO KEEP PEACE COMING SPEECH IN LONDON " (N.Z.P. A.—Copyright) NEW YORK, June 20. Mr Trygve Lie, Secretary-Gen-eral of the United Nations, is expected to renew his “peace offensive” in what a spokesman described as “a major policy speech” to he delivered at the Guildhall, London, on July 3.
Mr Lie is expected to make a fresh plea for his 10-point United' Nations, programme which calls for new at. tempts to bridge the East-West gap in the United Nations.
His programme had a lukewarm re. ception in,the United States and diplo : matic circles at Lake Success take it for granted-that the first round in Mr Lie’s missions has not been a success. However, Mr Lie, in private conversa. tion, has not concealed that he is ready for “another go.” Mr Lie is known to have been tre. mendously impressed during his trip to Europe by the apparent eagerness of European countries for any attempt to switch attention from the cold war to possible methods of East-West compromise, and to have formed the conclusion that there is more public support in Europe than in the United States for his efforts. t in his projected search Mr Lie is also expected to renew his plea to United Nations members to solve the so-called Chinese problem which has stymied meetings of all major United Nations organisations since the beginning of the year. He has circulated a memorandum to all members setting forth legal arguments in favour of unseating the Chinese Nationalist delegates and replacing them in all United Nations bodies with representatives from the Peiping Government.
