Today
PARIS,
Oi
Fifteen
hundred
delegates
for
the
first
great
peace
conference
of
the
second
Oreat
War
were
confronted
by
the
United
States
disclosure
yes
terday
that
State
Secretary
Byrnes
would
urge
that
all
negotiations
be
wide
open
to
the
press
of
the
world.
Foreign
Commissar
V.
M.
Molotov
Joined
Secretary
Byrnes
in
.favoring
full
publicity
for
conference
proceedings.
It
was
reported
that
the
deputy
foreign
minister
of
Britain,
United
States,
France
and
Russia
agreed
at
a
meeting
t0
make
public
today
the
complete
texts
of
the
treaties
for
Italy,
Ru
mania,
Hungary,
Bulgaria
and
Finland
that
have
been
prepared
by
the
foreign
ministers'
council.
It
was
known
that
the
proposed
treaties
would
change
the
map
of
Europe,
list
reparations
which
the
five
cefeated
countries
must
pay,
and
outlaw
militarism.
Evidently
anticipating
that
the
acceptance
of
Ine
two-thlrd-s
rule
for
making
decisions
at
the
conference
would
be
sought,
Dr.
Herbert
Evatt
of
Australia
advocated
a
simple
majority
as
being
fairer
to
smaller
nations.
The
conference
is
not

of

Matters

are
still
occupying
the
attention
of
the

today.
