AT SAN FRANCISCO
FIRST DIFFICULTY HURDLED CHAIRMANSHIP TO ROTATE COMPROMISE AMONG “BIG FOUR” San Francisco, April 28 UNCIO hurdled its first major difficulty when a compromise was devised to meet the Russian objections to the selection of Mr Stettinius as chairman of the Steering and Executive Committees. The conference chief press officer announced that it was decided that there would be four presidents of the conference, and their powers would be delegated to Mr Stettinius to conduct the business of th e conference. The Russians demanded that the chairmanship rotate among the four sponsoring Powers, while Britain, America and China firmly backed the candidacy of Mr Stettinius. Mr Eden submitted a plan for the settlement of the dispute, under which the chairmanship of the plenary sessions would be rotated among the sponsoring Powers in alphabetical order, and meet under the chairmanship of Mr Stettinius to map out the assembly programmes. In addition, Mr Stettinius is to preside over the Executive and Steering Committees. This plan was finally approved.
