made clear in the Cairo and
Potsdam declaration as well as
in the documents on the capitu-

A Domestic Affair.
"The United States captured
these islands (Formosa and the
Pescadores) and maintained
there with United States money
the gang of Chang Kai-shek.
In recent times the President
and ruling circles of the United
States of America are absorbed
in pursuing this policy.
Regarding Formosa, the posi-
ton of the Soviet Union is clear:
This is a domestic affair of
China and the captures of these
islands by the United States of
America are considered to be
aggression.
The Foreign Minister, in effect.
repeated previous Soviet pro-
nouncements on the tense Far
East issue, but he repeated them
with marked emphasis.
1--WE believe" he said, that
troops should be withdrawn from
the Far East. and then peace
will be established"
Apparently, he meant Ameri-
can and Chinese Nationalist
troops.
while the attitude and posi-
ton of the United States in the
Far East leads to the increasing
of tension, the attitude of the
Soviet Union is for reducing ten
sion there" he said.
Reminiscent of Stain.
In words reminiscent of the
days of Premier Stain. Mr.. Mol
otov accused the United States
of seeking world domination
they want to spread the capi-
talistic system over the whole
world, and this means prepara-
ton for war;"
He said the Western capital
ist countries, under United States
leadership, want to turn back
the peoples democratic countries
(satellite Communist nations) to
capitalism" and to restore cap
italism in the Soviet Union.
But he said such attempts
would fail, that communism,
moreover. was making great
strides in "the peoples liberation
movement against colonialism'
in Asia. He predicted such move
ments would also come to pass in
Africa and the colonial i'm
perialist powers will not be able
to stop these movements"
Along with India, Indonesia
and Burma now have established
republics and thrown out colo
nialism," Mr.. Molotov said. 1--WE
now hope that Pakistan as well
as Ceylon will find their path to
real national freedom and eco
nomic survival.
I'm the Near East we can say
that the Arab countries have
not progressed as much in de-
velopment as the countries OF
the Far East. But it is obvious
that soon it will be impossible
to strangle the pational liberia
ton movement in the Near East
as freely as they (the Western
powers) are doing it now with
the peoples of Africa.
Curtain 'N0t So Strong"
1.-THE continents of North and
South America are now standing
aside from that road on which
the people of Europe and Asia
are moving forward. But the
Iron Curtain with which they
want to isolate the American
people from other people is moi
so strong as it seems to be-"
MIR. Molotov Jumped British
and American ruling circles
as the expression of a policy
of a position of strength"
"They do not wish to recog-
nize the fact that the peoples
want freedom and want to es.
tablish their own social orders.

want to turn back to colonial.
ism"
Although events in Asia now
are very important, we cannot
consider that affairs in Europe
can be regarded as of second
rate Importance. 1t is not neces-
sary to prove that the German
question is in the center of in
ternational events"
