Gus appearance"
British Foreign Minister Bevin
last night called the alliance
the hope of persons who seek
peace. and an instrument to block
Soviet efforts to rule Europe by
fear.
A Moscow radio commentator
named Lhetsky declared in
broadcast recorded by the Soviet
monitor in London tonight:
The authors of the draft went
to no little trouble to give it the
pacO a deceptive. comely form
-. They attempted to present
their aggressive child as some
thing almost like a dove Of peace.
But they did not succeed; mur-
der will out.
THE anti-Soviet point pro-
trudes too obviously from the
North Atlantic pact"
"Ghost of New War"
In Paris. Maurice Thorez, No.
! French Communist, called the
Atlantic treaty a ghost Of the
new war"
In a statement distributed to
the press, ThoreZ said:
THE hypocritical phrases and
lies of the governments and peo-
pie" who are writing the pact
won't fool anyone.
The Communist leader said "the
Marshall Plan is a plan of war"
He added that France is chained
to the chariot of the war of the
american billionaires."
Thorez said in his statement:
The Atlantic Pact would assure
peace. state the promoters. Just
as they said that non-interven-
ton and the capitulation of Mu-
mich assured the peace. But the
Atlantic Pact is against the prin-
ciples OF collective security.
against the principles proclaimed
by the organization of the United
Nations"
Jan. 20 Declaration Recalled.
A Tass dispatch to Moscow from
New York said "the general eval-
uation of the North Atlantic pact
as weapon of the aggressive pol
icy of the ruling circles of the
United States and Great Britain is
contained in a well-known decla-
ration of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs last January &c."
In a 34-page statement issued
on that date, Russia accused the
United States and Britain of try
ing to undermine the United Ma
tions with the North Atlantic pact
and said their final purpose ''is
establishment by force of Anglo
American world domination"
Tass said: publication Of the
full text confirms this evaluation."
Newspapers and radio stations
throughout the Communist -domi-
mated nations of Eastern Europe
took a similar line. Polish news
papers carried the headline, PRO
tests voiced world over against At
lantic Pact"
Greek Papers Hail Treaty.
Greek newspapers hailed the
treaty as "a historic milestone"
and were optimistic that it would
put Greek security under respon-
sible protection of the great
powers"
An IstanbM newspaper asked:
"1s Turkey to stand alone in case
of aggression?"
Greece and Turkey, both receiv-
ing American aid. are not among
the signers Of the pact.
In Iceland, a Reykjavik news;
paper termed the treaty "the most
important decision to keep world
peace and human rights since the
United Nations was founded"
Iceland is one of the four nations
invited to join the eight who have
agreed to sign.
A prediction that the aniance
would have immediate political
repercuSsions came from the
Austrian Communist newspaper
Volksstimme.
