The Prime Minister, Mr. Clement Attlee, today spoke against the idea of a special meeting be- tween President Truman, Gondralissimo Stalin and himself to discuss peace problems, Answering a question in Parliament, he said that generally speaking, he thought it preferable that international problems should be settled through the United Nations Organisation.. That was if they could not with reference to pruce be settled through normal dip-len, the lomatic' channels.

Mr. Merschel Austin, Labour, who had suggested such a meeting to discuss present day problem, usked the Prime Minister-would agree that peace transcended all other considerations.

The logical steps, he suggested, would be to meet the leaders of the other great powers and try in resolve, the dieulties facing the world.
