SUMMARY REPORT OF TENTH MEETING OF THE STF.ERING COMMITTEE Veterans Building, R2.QE! 2s3_, J ~ _?1, 1945, 4 ~ ·

The Chairman, Mr. Stettinius (United States) called the meeting to order at 1+:02 p.m.

The Chairman held a copy in his hand of tho complete text of the Charter which had been finished at 4:30 a.m., June 21, and just a short while before the meeting had been reproduced in mimeograph for•m.

The Chaj_rman stated that the purpose of the meeting was to consider tho first two matters set forth on the ag0nda, the third i tern on the agenda hav:l..ng been withdrawn. The Chairman explained, in connection with the first item on the agenda, that the Executive Committee had just finished con- s id era tion of Document 1042, EX/25, dated t.Tunc 17, 1911-5, en- titled "Suggestions With Respect to Schedule for Concluding Sessions of the Conference" and had voted unanimously to recommend adoption of the suggestions set fo1"th in the docu- ment by the Steering Committee. Tho Chairman requested the Secretary-General. (Mr· • .Riss) to outlir.Le the cont on ts of this document.

The Secreta1¹y-Genoral stated that Document 1042 contained dates which must be changed in v:t.ew of the action of the

Steering Committee at its meeting on June 20, when it advanced the date for the closing plenary session to Juno 26, and that otherwise it had been approved by tho Executive Committee.

The first paragraph, the Secretary-General pointed out, provided for addresses at the final plenary session by the four Presidents of the Conference and tho Chairman of the French Dolegation, and by the Chairmen of tho Delegations of Brazil, Czechoslovalcia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and the Union of South Africa. The second paragraph, he obsorvod, dealt with the prompt l"eceipt by the Secretariat of the texts of these addresses. He emphasized that this wc.s important, becausG there would be no translation of the addresses, which would be given in the native languagos of the speakers, and the

.5521 -1-

Secretariat planned to distribute at tho final plenary session English transJ.ations for tho benefit of tho a.udionce.

Rof0rring to tho third pn.1.1ag1•aph of tho document, the Socretary-Gonoral said that tho goal set for tho p(multima.te plenary session wns Monday mo.i:•.ning, Juno 25, but it might be that tho meeting could not ^be hold until ^.i\~onduy evening. The Secretnry-Gonero.l ma.do the suggestion tllnt the Stooring Com- mittee 11pprov0 tho procedure recommondod in this document for . tho conduct of tho concluding sossions of the Conforcnco and stressed tho.t statomonts to be made at the penultimate plenary session should relate only to tho text and should not deal with general subjects bocauso those have been discussed in Commission meetings and because of the necessity of conserving time if

the schedule for concluding tho Conference was to bo mot.

In respect to paragraph 4, tho Socretary-Genornl invited tho attention of the members of tho Committee to the provision that delegations dosi.ring to ^make concluding statements could do so and thoy would bo 1~010~>.,s0d through the modiunt of the Confcronco Journ:11 a.nd the public press. He requested that any such sta.tomo~-its be sent to the Off1co of the Executive Secreta1,y, o.s requested in po..ragraph

J+.

Tho Secrotnry-Genornl said thct the signing of the Charter could not commence before the adjournment of tho penultimate plenary session and advised tha,t the Socrotnrio.t hoped to

have tho Charter signed by the majority of tho dologntes before the final plcmo.ry session convened on Tuesday, June 26.

Tho Socreta.:ry-Gcncral invitGd tho o.ttontion of the members of tho Committoo to pa.ra.grn.ph 6, particularly to the provisions that, if n delegation finds itself not in a. position to sign any pnrticulo.r language text, that it sign the otho1, language toxts.

Para.graph 7 of tho document, the Socretary-GonE)ral advised, concerned tho final review of the Charter by tho Steering Com- mittee.

The Socrota.ry-General, referring to para.graph 8, said that ho ha.d nontioned it in substunce oarllor in his roma.rks a.nd that it was planned that the first mooting of the Prepara- tory Cor.unission would to.kc place the afternoon of Wednesday, Juno 27.

Tho Chair-i~1a.n sto.tod that tho Comnittee had hco.rd tho

unanimous rocornr.10ndation of the Executive Committee, a.nd asked if thox•c wa.s any discussion.

Lord Halifax (United Kingdom) addressed hh1Solf to the statement of tho Secrota,ry-Gcncral that it would bo difficult to complete the signing of the Charter before tho convening of tho final plenary session and so.id that he hoped tho.tall

,

signatures could be affj_xed and tho Charter handed to Presi- dent Truman before tho convening of tho final plenary session.

Lord Halifax said that ho apprccia.tod there wore mechanical difficulties, -and assured tho Secretary-General that not only he and the other r:iembers of his delegation, but, ho felt sure, all the membo1"s of all delegations would be willing to sign the Chapter at any hour of the day or night, to mako the signing of tho Charter possible before the final plenary session.

The Secretary-General said that mechanical difficulties to which Lord Halifax adverted did ex:l.st, and that he would request the Llatter be left open, if possible. He observod that the problens incidental to the printing of the Charter in five languc,ges were tremendous; that the best printing schedule would not make the Charter available bcfo1"e midnight Monday; that the signing of the ChLn•tel", which cannot cor.1r.1ence before Tuesday morning, would take a. r.iinir:mrn of eight hours, but that the Secretariat would nake every effort to have the Charter signed as suggested by Lord Halifax.

The Chail•man stated thut he know tho Secret::i.riat would do everything t rn:mnly possible to have the Charter signed be- foro tho finul plenary session.

Mr. Loudon (Tho Nethe1"lnnds) snid that if the signing could take place as Lord Ho.lii'cx suggested, he pPoposed that the ProparatoJ:•y Cor.imissi<m r:1oet Wednesday morning, which would suit everyone's purpose better. Mr. Paul-Boncour (France) seconded the proposal of Mr. Loudon.

The Cha.irr;w.n asked if th0ro was o.ny objection to this proposal; there being none, the proposal was adopted.

Mr. Foi-•de (Australia) asked at what tir.ie the f'inal plenary session would convene. Tho Chairr.w.n r eplied that j_t was

planned to convene at l~ p.::1. and that the President would ad- dress tho sossic,n between 5 o..nd 5: 30 p .ra.

There boing no further discussi:~,n, the recm:u:iondo.tion of tho Executive Cor.mittoo to tho Steering Crn:u::1ittee that it

adopt tho suggestions set forth in Docunent 1042, "su~gestions With Respect to Concluding Sessions of tho Conference, was unanir:iously approved.

The Chail"□an stated that the second i ten on the agenda

called f or tho consideration of Docwnent 1026, ST/15, dated June 17, 1945, cntltled "Interir.1 Arrangcnents Concluded by the GovornrJents Reprosontod at the United Nations Confe~cnce on International Organization". The Chairr.mn called the attention of the members of the Comr,iittec t'J the fnct that they had had copies of this document in their possossion since Juno 17' a.nd stated that no oxplana.tion of the docur,10nt would be made unless it was desired. He pointed out that two blanks

5521 -3-

in the document, both on page 2, in pc..ragr'.1phs 5 and 6,

would have t o bo cor:1plotcd.

Mr. Grorayko (u.s.s.R.) said that he had given considGr- ation to tho location for the seat of the Preparatury Co□-

1;iission and, nftor having weighed o.11 the circu .. "Jstu.ncos,

had concluded that tho most proper plnco would be London, and he so noved. The notion was adopted by acc1a.no.tie,n.

Lord Halifax stated that his Governr:i.ont would be greatly touched and deeply app1•ocin:ti ve of the popularity of London and the warn-het::n•ted fo.shiun in wlii.ch the notion of Mr. Gronyko was received at the hands of the Steering Oor.nittee. The

United Kingdom, lie said, would spa.re no effort t o help f orward the groat work which the Organization will do.

Mr. De Scln"yver (Belgiun), rcferi>ing t0 pa.ragro..ph 2 of the documont, so.id that he thought thD.t tho size of tho

Executive Cormittee should be increased fr·)n 14 to 18 ner:ibers.

He pointed out that a large part of the work of the Propa1"ntory Corar.1is si!)l1 wculcl bo done by th0 Executive Comni ttoe and that it would, therefore, be approprlate t o increase tho number t o 18. Ho said that the1"e wex•e th1"00 reasons why tho nunbor should bo incroasod. First, the Exocutivo Conr:dttee at this Conference is a subcornni ttoe of the titeor:Lng Cor:-ir.ii ttce and each could meet as often as tho othor, and this is not appli- cable t o the Preparatory Cor.1mj_ssion which will rioet cot1pnra- tively soldo1:1. Second, 18 :me:::-1bors are not too r.mny f'or tho amount a.nc. kind of -work tho Co:mr.1ittoo will be called upon to do, and, third, at this ConfoI>ence tho Executive Cor:mittec is r:i.nde up of r.1cr.1bors from 11+ countriGB and four other collntries hold cho.irnanships of the four Corn;iissions. Ho said tho.t Belgiun is advanced socially and industrially, that it has

col onies and a nnndc.to, and that it knows tho horro1" of war and of occupation, and thc.t, thcrcf o1¹e, Bolgiur:1 could se1"ve usefully as a r1enbeP of tho EXEJCuti vo CuJ7Lli t toe .

Mr. Al-Jamali (Iraq) sta.ted thnt a new job is being facod, na.nely, to build the str•ucturo f ol' which the Chnrter provides the schece, and that in his opinion it would be app1"opriat0 under these circm:istances t o adopt u ,~onocrntic procedure and elect the member•s of the Executj_ve Committee by a majority vote. He concurred with the Delegate of Belgium that the size of the Executive Committee should be increased and pointed out that five Arab states, through no intentional om:tssion, were not given recognition at this Conference, that they a1•e young and vigo1"ous, and anxious to partic:Lpa te in international life and international cooperation and ono of them should be conside1~ed for membership on the Executive Com- mittee. If no addit:Lon in number to the Executive Conunittee

is possible, he suggested that excepting the five permanent powers, the remaining members be elected.

Mr. Diamantopou1os (Greece) stated that Greece was dis- appointed at not having been selected as a member- of tho Exocutivo Committee at this Conference but that sin~e tho question of onlarging tho sizo of the Rxocutive Cornmittoc for the Preparato1•y Commission had been 1¹aised, Grococo was a candj_dato for tho Committee and concurred with the state- munts of tho Delogu tes of Ir•uq anu Belgj_urn.

Mr. Castro (El Salvadoi..,) said that the statement of tho Delegato of Iraq represents the democ1",'3.t1c procoduro, but suggested a modification of the pr•oposit ion, namely, whether

01¹ not tho number of tho Exec·utive Con:mllttee is ir:.croa.sod, in 0i thor ca.so, t.he procedure for SEllection of members should bo by ma.jori ty vote and he saj d tlw.t With this modification, he supported the suggestton of the Delegates of Belgium and Iraq.

Mr. C1cores (Honduras) otatod that if the sizo of the Executive Committee, of' tho Interim Com.mission is inc1"oasod, ho would like to soe a ¹¹epr0rnnntntJvo of -~ho Ccnt1~0J. American countries hav0 a ple.ce on it. Wh11e it. is truo, ho saic., that tho Central American co1.mtr•ios ^11.i'.'o n.ot ldghly ^{inau □-} trializod, they wcr0 among the f !~~t nations to declare war on the Axis powers at the s:Lde of the unlted Statos.

Tho ChoJ.i•man nskoJ. :tf thoro wo.,3 further discussion on the motion of the Belgian Dclogate to incroase tho size of the Executive Committeo to 18.

Mr. Loudon asked whethur tho Belgian Dologato had n~do a motion, a suggestion, or a rccommcndatlon. H::>. Do Sch::.¹yvor replied that he had put his statomont politely as a suggestion, but that it was, of course, a motion. Mr. Loudon replied that

if this motion was acceptable to the four Big Powers and France, ho would second i t.

Mr. Castro made a point of order, namely that the motion of tho Belgicm Delegate should bo voted on in two pa.rts,

flrst, on tho incr•ease :i.n numoer of tllo .members of tho Execu- tive Cornmittoe which ho had seconded, and, second, on the method of selection, and that in regard to tho second part he concurred with the Dclegu te of Il"aq that all members should bo elected by majority vote.

Tho Cha:l.rr.10.n, to clarify tho point of order mado by tho Delegate of El Salvador, reud the motion of the Delegate of Belgium that after the words "on the Executive Committee of the Confcronco" in 1.ine 7 _II of para.gra:oh 2 of Document _.. 1026 there bo added tho words and

or

the representatives of th0 four other governr.1onts elected by the Commis3ion" . Mr.

Diamantopoulos socondod this motion.

Sir A. Ramaswami Mudaliar (Ind13.) stated that there wcro two motions before the Committee and that tho mo1"e general motion of Iraq should be voted on first.
