itdIN ScSSlOt, NlOlUlON Sdiu the big powers must not inn pose their will on the small nations To do so, he said, would be to initiate Hitlerite Germany.
 Molotov renewed Russia's warn- ing that the Franco regime of Spain constituted a threat to world peace and hinted that the United Nations might soon bring about the end of that regime
 Warns Allies
 We know that fasicsn and ae- gression go hand in hand in our time Molotov said. If, however, We have still to deal with the ques- tion of the fascist regime in Spain, then the time must not be too dis tant when the democratic coun. tries will be able to help the Span- ish people who groan under Fran cos regime to put an end to this survival bred by Hitler and Musso- lini, which is dangerous to the cause of peace"
 At the same time Molotov warned the Allies against interference with the affairs of the former Axis satel- ltes, Of which all but Italy lie with in the Soviet sphere of influence. Russia, he said, wants nothing in- compatible with their sovereignty and dignity
 Molotov's address at the plenary session, couched eonciliatory tones was similar on the surface at least to the fight being made by Austrian Foreign Minister Herbert EVatt for greater voice for the small powers in the peace delibera- tions.
 .EVatt followed Molotov ia speak ing before the third plenary session of the conference with demand that the Big 4 agree to accept the conference recommendation and that all nations have an equal voice in the treaty-making.
 Cites Nazi Oppression
 Molotov cited Germany's oppres- sion of the small nations as proof of the dangers of big power rule.
 'The q nations will have equal rights to express themselves freely and openly on any treaty" he said. Any view expressed here will be heard with respect and eventually will be weighed with due consider ation.'' ..
 Molotov said the Big 4 Council Of Foreign Ministers had not sat- isfied the aspirations of all the AL lied peoples. But that attacks be- ing made on it's decisions were 'sby reactionaries and anti-Soviets who hoped that cooperation among the big powers would not continue"
 He said the peace conference would be able to discuss at length all questions in the draft treaties, and the 21 nations will have equal rights to express themselves freely and openly on any treaty"
 To Weigh All Views
 Any view expressed here will be heard with respect and eventually will be weighed with due consider- ation," he said.
 Evatt. following Molotov in the state by state speeches of the chiefs Of the delegations, made it plain that he would demand that the Big 4" accept the recommendations of the peace conference, with all na- tions present having an equal voice.
 Each Of the q nations must have equal rank and voice in this conference, Evatt said. At an earlier session of the rules commit tee he had asked the conference to reject the procedure suggested by the Big 4. calling for . tvo- thirds vote on all matters of subs stance.
 ''The real question which con. .cerns us is whether consultation by the major powers represents the full extent of our rights" Evats said. He said he was speaking for the Little 17's.
 "The right of making the peace should belong to all those nations who have been partners in achiev. ing the common victory" he said.
 Molotov's attack on the majority rule plan favored by Evatt was made at the procedure committee of tlse conference. #
