RUSSIA WANTS BIG 5 CONFERENCE ON PEACE Mr. Vyshinsky announces answer to U.S. proposal

REJECTION BY THE WEST

Lake Success, October 11.

Russia today formally proposed a Big Fiva conforonco on international peace and security and demanded that the United Nations sot up a perma- nont international polico force under the Security Council. This was Russia's answer to the American proposal to give the veto-less Gen- eral Assembly international armed forces to be used against aggres- sons whenever the Security Council is paralysed in an emergency by

a veto.

The Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr. Andrei Vyshinsky, who tossed out foolers or those proposals before the General Assembly's main Political Com- ittee yesterday, submitted both propositions today in resolution form.

These sources said the pro- posals appeared to open the dour to eventual Chinese Communist participation in the treaty con- ferences, but under rules of pro- cedure that would probably not be acceptable to Russia.

The memorandum

was said to propose that "any nation which participated in the war against Japan would be eligible to attend the peace conference if it agreed to abide by the general rules of precedure."

Informed sources said this was taken here to mean that the parti- cipants of the peace conference would agree to drop the power of the veto.

"This would include Communist China or rather,, by making it worthwhile for the Peking gov- ernment not. to raise objections, it would be a strong inducement to Peking not to be aligned with Russia's position on procedure," one informed 'source said.
