 He accused Britain and the United States of teaming up in diplomatic offensive against Russia in negotiating the Italian treaty Negotiations had brought to light some "unwelcome tendencies" he said.
 "Only aspirations toward friendly cooperation can serve as the base for development of relations be- tween the Soviet government and other states" Molotov stated.
 Molotov charged that Brynes' proposal for referring the peace treaties to the United Nations if the June IS conference fails was lone more attempt to break up'' the present big power collaboration and ito utilize method of pressure and threats and intimidation against the Soviet Union.
 Has Little Faith In LIN
 Such attempts" he said, testify to the strong desire of certain foreign circles to break up the prin- ciple of joint work with the Soviet Union and other democratic states which were established in recent years and in their relations with the U.S.S.R. and other countries to resort to methods alien to nor nal relations among states"
 He said reference of the peace treatries to the LIN would thraeten to undermine the prestige of the LIN which he said had already been subject to "grave trials"-an apparent reference to the Iran dispute in the Security Council.
 There Is desire" he said, fin certain foreign circles to ddslodge the Soviet Union from its honor able place in foreign affairs"

 He said Russia had suggested a careful study of Byrnes' 25-year ICdLy p4OkOouA bCCnucC EI OOuAu come in force only after 8 peace with Germany had been signed and so far there "is not even the embryo of a government with which a peace treaty could be signed"
 Wants Check On Germany
 He said he proposed 8 check on German disarmament to facilitate the fulfillment of Germany's sur- render terms.
 He objected to Byrnes' proposal for a November peace conference on Germany because no proposals for the peace treaty have been drafted nor is there any German government. He said that at Pots dam, Generalissimo Stalin proposed forming a central German admin istration, but the other participants objected to discussing 1t at that time.
 Molotov claimed that Britain and the United States were trying to dominate Italy and other countries by handing them economic help
