Truman Holds Showdown Key On Red Veto Views
Secretary of State Stettinius weighs whether the United States should press a showdown on free discussion in a world security council. The stalemate over veto rights splits the big five and numerous delegates, with Stettinius urging a cautious, near‑term decision while many Americans favor a strong floor fight. The Arab states align with a no veto stance, and Sen. Connally reports progress on enforcement powers for a world league charter.
