CONSERVATION Created
By Moiotov, Reds Say

MOSCOW, Nov. 27 tR.-The So
Wet press told the Russian public
today that Foreign Minister Molotov
had created CONSERVATION among
his colleagues at the Big Four con-
ference in London by charging that
certain powers were trying to force
an ''imperialistic peace" on the
world.
Both Secretary of State Marshall
and French Foreign Minister BIZ
dault reacted nervously" to Mr..
Molotov's speech, said Tass dis
patches from London.
British Foreign Secretary Bevin,
the dispatches declared, tried to
make a joke of Mr.. Molotov's re-
marks by suggesting that special
committee be named to define such
terms as democracy" sovereignty"
and imperialism"
"Bevin's little joke did not work,
however" Tass said. 1T Is we'll
known that the British and Ameri-
can reactionary press of late very
frequently has sought to contend
that the conception of democracy
and sovereignty is very hazy thing.
But should a Labor minister make
such remarks?"
(The Russians cuStomarily use
the word democracy" to define
the Communist way of life)
Moscow papers carried no edi-
torial comment on the Big Four pro-
ceedings in London, but published
Mr. Molotov's remarks In full. There
appeared to be considerable public
interest in the developments, for
newspaper stands were doing a
rushing business despite a heavy
morning SnowStorm.
Reds Compare Zones.
Apropos of the conference in Lon
don, where the demilitarization of
Germany is expected to be discussed,
Pravda published dispatch from
Berlin asserting that 98 per cent of
German military installations in the
Soviet occupation zone had been
destroyed.
On the other hand, the dispatch
said, only Is or 100 underground
military plants had been liquidated
in the American zone.
THE leaders of the Anglo-Amer-
ican military administration" the
story added, "are seeking in every
way to preserve the military and
industrial potential created by the
Fascist criminals"
The dispatch also accused the
British and Americans of preserving
or forming anew" units of the Ger
man Army.
