This dramatic new turn to the fortune of the con- ference is a result of yesterday's momentous five hour meeting at which a compromise pro- posal for the settlement of the Trieste pro- blem, advanced by the French Foreign Minis- ter, Georges Bidault, was accepted as the basis of discussion by the other three Ministers.
Under this plan. Trieste is to neighbouring with its become. territories, an autonomous terri tory administered by the Big Four. Italy and Yugoslavia.
