New York, Nov. 3. |British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin declared today there was no need for despondency over the Big Four efforts to write a final peace for Europe and called for "care, - patience and tolerance" in formulating treatles for the five vanquished satellites of Nazi Germany, Arriving aboard the "Aquitania" for the four power Foreign Ministers' session which opens tomorrow to settle the peace that the United Nations is pledged to keep, Mr. Bevin said: "We will see if we can work the treaties into permanent

documents and end the statel of war.

"One thing is quite clear and that is that everybody wants peace and is tired of conflict and turmoil."

French deputy Foreign Minis- ter Maurice Couve de Murville, who also arrived on the "Aqui» tonia" for the four power meeting, said he thought the Foreign Ministers would first discuss a treaty with Germany "on about Nov. 20" after the treaties... for. Italy, Rumanía, Bulgaria and Finland had been concluded.
