CHARTER AMENDMENT

LAKE SUCCESS, NOV. 15.

THE BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY, MR ERNEST BEVIN, HAS ADDRESSED A LETTER TO THE HEADS OF THE UNITED STATES, CHINESE, FRENCH AND RUSSIAN DELEGATIONS TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, SUGGESTING THAT A BIG FIVE MEETING BE HELD TO DISCUSS THE QUESTION OF THE RIGHT OF VETO OF THE GREAT POWERS ON UNITED NATIONS DECISIONS, REUTER'S CORRESPONDENT LEARNED TO-DAY.

The letter was received by the heads of delega- tions last night and the first response from them is understood to have been favourable.

Mr Bevin's letter does not envisage any discussion by the Big Five of amendments to the Charter. The meeting is expected to consider the possibility of drawing up a "code of conduct" agreed to by all the Big Five, outlining the circumstances under which they would, or would not, use their veto powers.
