An allegation that India would have been more impartial at the Paris Conference if she had been independent was made at the plenary session of the conference today by M. Vyache slay Molotov, the Soviet Foreign Minister. M. Molotov attacked the conference as far as the
"unagreed clauses" left open by the Big Four country to bombe 'in Eng- were concerned. Asserting that results would have been different if some delegates. "had been able to vote as they liked without being subjected to external pressure" M. Molotov specifically cited the case of India.
The Siamese Government yes- terday decided to return four disputed provinces to France. The momentous decision follow- ed discussions based on the re- port of the United Nations dele- gate, who returned to Bangkok on Saturday.

M. Molotov also made charge that the conference had left open the question of the Greco-Bulgarian frontier by re- jecting the Big Four clause ap- proving the existing border.
"The reparts are untrue, the spokesman suid. "There are no bombs outside this
land-with or without detona- tors. The only atomic bombe ever sent out of the United States were those used in the Bikini tests and those dropped en Japan. That is on the Pro- sident's authorisation" Beu-

(By Reuters Diplomatic Correspondent)
London, Oct. 14.
The decision on the Greek Gov- ernment's request for additional supplies of arms, to which Major Mayhew, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, re- ferred in answer to a bazila mentary question today, is now expected in well-informed quar- ters to be deferred until Mr. Ernest Bevin returns to London

"Every objective observer will understand that voting" on the subject of the Greco Bulgarian frontier is a great political error which is not like- intercats of pence and which is likely to create trouble".
He then bluntly declared that in this case the voting of the

,
Soviet Charges The Soviet Foreign Minister made the following charges:
1. From the beginning to the end of the conference "à certain group of powers" had tried to impose and dictate its
wishes on the other states.
2. The system of voting had enabled powers which had no real interest in certain ques concerned. tions to overrule states vitally
Follow-My-Leader "The delegate of the United States votes first on all ques tions here. It was only for him to set the vote and voting of the 12 or 13 other delegates was assured. This group tried to secure the adoption of a definite decision no matter whether this decision was correct or not.
***The same thing happened in the matter of procedure."
Ja his 45-minute speech which, by the chairman's con- sent gave him the last word in the general debate on the Eli- nish treaty, M. Molotov declar ed that Russia had treated Fin- on land "generously."
M. Molotov who later met his other three colleagues of the Big Four at the French Foreign Office said the confer- ence had "violated" the Foreign Minielers' agreed decisions Trieste by adopting a number of anti-democratic clauses."..
