Mr Anthony Eden, British Foreign Secretary, today gave the first official news that the three Western Foreign Ministers were trying to arrange a conference on Trieste.
He told the House of Commons they were seeking terms accept- able to both Yugoslavia, which first proposed the conference, and Italy. "It is a difficult task but not one of which we should despair," he added.
Consultations with the United States and France since the week- end meeting of the three Foreign Ministers were continuing, Mr Eden said. The Western Governments were also in touch with Italy and Yugo- glavia.

United States Ambasador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jnr.. made the declaration after the Security Council had agreed unanimously following two days* debate to reopen the Palestine issue under a compromise wording of the agenda Item.
