The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-10-14

the WOTk or the conference on so many problems was so unsatisfac- tory was that through the course of the Conference, from beginning to end, there was desire on the part of 8 certain group of states to take up a dominating position and dictate what they considered essen- tia1."
 He referred to the Danube mat ter, on which the western powers failed in commission to obtain a two thirds majority for the principle of free navigation, only to obtain a two-thirds decision in the full Con- ference when states mot directly concerned" could vote.
 The Slav bloc gave Molotov 8 big cheer when he said blrntly:
 Our Bulgarian friends can rest assured that their frontier with Greece will remain unchanged"
 Issue Left to Big Four
 The Conference, in one of its big gest upsets, voted to override an earlier Big Four decision to leave the Creek -Bulgar frontier unchang- ed. After Greece insistently de- manded Strategic rectification" of her frontier with Bulgaria, the issue finally was sent back to the Big Four without Conference recommen- dations.
 On the Danube issue, Molotov sim gled out India, which he said fol- lowed the British lead. That coun- try, he said, could have no possible direct interest in the Danube. He added that he thought Norway Ethiopia, India and certain others had voted for the western views on the Danube because of external pressure"
 He indicated that when the Coun- cil of Foreign Ministers considers such issues, challenges will be made against all Conference decisions on which the voting included nations not directly concerned and which would not sign the treaty affected.
 Molotov accused Britain of using small states as instruments for playing the game of Greece against Bulgaria" He referred to Britain's successful attempt to get the plen- ary session to overturn commits sion decision on the Bulgarian frontier.
 Charges U. s. Leads Bloc
 "Is it worthy of such Confer ence to assist in such gamer" he demanded. Every objective ob- server will understand that this vot- ing on the Greek-Bulgar frontier is the gravest political error, not likely to serve the interests of peace but likely to lead to trouble. This vot- ing is 8 service only to those who long for new aggression"
 He said the United States, by be- ing called first in the roll call, set the tone for other nations which merely followed the American lead.
 Never once during the Conference, he said, did the Soviet delegation repudiate any of its agreements in the Council of Foreign Ministers. But the United States, France and Britain, he added, violated such agreements, especially on Trieste, an issue on which he said they were pursuing an anti-Democratic policy.
 Attacks Vandenberg's Viewpoint vandenberg appealed for a cut in reparations from Finland. In de- livering his plea, he digressed to an- swer Kisselev, saying the United States was tired of being attacked constantly like defendant in court. When Molotov came to Vanden- berg's speech, he said:
 Senator Vandenberg's speech produced a most unfavorable im- pression from the viewpoint of con- sistency. He tried to prove that the separations demanded from Finland were too large, and in doing so went to the length of saying the Amer ican delegation would vote against reparations from Finland, posing as a man with good intentions to- ward Finland.
 ''The United States delegation is pursuing a strange policy. This is policy of playing with a small country, a policy which is given out as one of concern for that small country. Before the war the same game was played with reactionary circles in power in Finland, and this led in the long run to Finland be- coming an instrument of Hitler"
