Mr. Lie particnlarly urget. United States and Russia to abanion their diplomatic war and show willingness to compromise. He added that withoiit sueh cooperation and agregment, no me ehanism for the maintenanee oi hiternational peace, eould be effeefive. It was impossible and intolerable that such differenees as were flagrantly displayed last week between United States and Russia, shopld be allowed to lead to another war.
