the proposals would be put before the Conference for consideration.
Did M. Vyshinsky now maintain that the U.S. Delegation could not
support its own proposals? No objection had been raised to these
proposals by the Council of Foreign Ministers and it had been agreed
that they should go before the Conference.
  M. VYSHINS:KY stated that he had never seen the proposals. There
had only been a general discussion on them. He suggested that they
be referred to the Council of Foreign Ministers. He stated that he
must oppose the view that one Delegation had the right to support
the proposal if common agreement had not been reached on them.
  LoRD HOOD suggested that the meeting be adjourned.
  M. VYsHINsKY stated that he was very disappointed in the work
of the Deputies. Mr. Dunn continually argued that certain matters
were new proposals when they were in fact amendments. How could
the Deputies continue on this basis? M. Vyshinsky wondered whether
it was worth while for the Deputies to work under such conditions.
They could not even agree on the simplest points.
  The Deputies agreed to meet on Wednesday night.
  The meeting adjourned at 12: 30 a. m.

  The Chairman suggested October 5 as a probable date for the com-
pletion of the Commission's work and, in order to facilitate its delibera,-
tions, proposed the appointment of a subcommission to study and
report on the Statute for Trieste. The proposal was put in the form
of a motion by Mr. Officer (Australia) and debated for 21/2 hours.
Finally, it was passed unanimously in the following form:
  "A subcommission composed of representatives of Australia, the
United Kingdom, the United States of America, France, the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics, the Netherlands, Poland and Yugoslavia
shall be appointed to investigate the Statute for Trieste and report
on this subject to the Commission as soon as possible."
  A U.K. proposal advanced during the discussion was likewise
adopted unanimously but modified by a Yugoslav amendment. The
British proposal and the Yugoslav amendment are, respectively:
  (1) "The Delegates are invited to submit their views in writing on
the Permanent Statute of Trieste for the guidance of the subcommis-
