San Francisco, May 11.—(ΛΡ) —
ΓΙκ San Francisco conference ap
peared today to be devil.>j>iuti a
strong bloc of small nations deter
mined to win themselves greater au
thority over the proposed Lise of
force to prevent tuture wars.
The issue is coming sharply to the
fore m conference committees con
sidering amendments to the Dum
barton Oaks plan for a world peace
organization as it was drawn up by
Britain, China. Russia and the XJnit
«•'I States in Washington last fall.
Here are current tup developments:
1. l'rime Minister MacKenzie
KMig. (jf Canada, told ι committee
υπ sanctions of the security coun
cil. wnich is the exclusive powerful
core of the proposed organization,
that any nation whose troops wore
to be used against an aggressor
snoulr! be permitted a voice in the
council's decision to take forcetul
action. Mexico and New Zealand
endorsed this idea, and Australia
and several others are backing tne
principal paragraph.

council act'on. Tin is hi uitl.v op

:î. Λ Cuban proposition that the
security c >uncil be enlarged from
eleven member nations, provided
under Dumbarton Oaks, to Ν or IS.
was debated in the committee of the
council yesterday, but a decision
was delayed pending further study.
The same general principle on the
council's powers was tied into the
behind-the-scenes dispute over re
gional security arrangement, which
had split the Unite"! States delega
tion down the middle.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican.
Michigan, promised the regional ar
rangements committee last night
that American plans would be drawn
up as soon as possible.
