demand for trusteeship over an Italian colony, as well as Britain's current insiStence upon British trusteeship over one Italian colony. Threat Surprises Officials
 Byrnes said the United States was not going to pour millions into rebuilding the economy of beaten countries to have the profits drain ed of in the form of reparations by other countries.
 American officials said Byrnes' threat to refer the entire peace treaty matter to the United Ma tions was surprise To their know ledge he had not revealed his "ace" to Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov in Paris-at least at any public meeting.
 Mingled with his criticism of Rus- sia and determination to secure a just peace was warming to the American people to have patience and f1rmness, tolerance and under standing" because the building of a peoples peace is hard, long process"
 He himself promised to return to Paris June 15-the date of the next foreign ministers meeting-with de- termination to reach agreement with Russia on outstanding issues about peace treaties with Italy, Bull garia, Romania, Hungary and Fin land.
 Has Right Under Charter
 At that time he will renew his demand for calling peace confer ence of all 21 nations that fought against the Axis in Europe for July or Is because he thinks the mak- ing of peace is not the exclusive prerogative of any four govern mentS.
 If the Russians continue to veto the peace conference plan - and they can under the foreign min- isterS' ruleS-then Byrnes will ask the General Assembly of the United Nations which meets in New York in September to make recommend ations for peace settlements. He would do so under Article IA of the LIN Charter which allows the As- sembly to recommend measures for the peaceful adjustment of any situation, regardless of origin" which it deems likely to impair the general welfare or friendly rela- tionS among nations.
 The Soviet Union is not likely to look favorably upon any attempt to take the peace treaty issues to the Assembly where the United States and Great Britain control 8 ma- jority of the votes. The Russians are baking now at taking the un- settled issues to 21 nations - let alone 51.
 Issues Explained
 Byrnes reviewed the debates on the various issues at Paris and in the course of his address sketched an outline of his immediate objec- tives:
 l. GERMANY Disarmament and a four-power pact p1edging to keep her disarmed for 25 years. He still hopes Russia will accept this plan and that it will pre- vent diplomatic cl4eckerboard" moves ascribed to a quest for security.
 Byrnes said i've cannot sub- sidize Germany. to enable her to pay separations to other coun- tries"
 2. AUSTRIA - An immediate peace treaty so that all of Europe
 except Germany and supply line through Poland can be rid of occupation forces. Byrnes said there could be no recovery in Europe until the burden of occu- patton forces has been elimin- ated.
 3. BALKANS ! An "open door, for all nations for com merce on the Danube. The Rus slans consistently refuse to let central and eastern European countries open their gates to the commerce of other nations And Byrnes reiterated the American opposition to exclusive political
 and economic blocs."
 4. ITALY-The United States agrees to limited separations pay ments by the Italians but they must not deprive Italy of re- sources needed to enable her to Subslst without external assist ance. Byrnes served flat notice that the U. S. is not going to ad- vance millions of dollars to help
