NEW SOVIET PROPOSAL AT UNO
AUSTERITY
Molotov On Allied Troops In Non-Enemy Territory CHRISTMAS
U.S. Delegate Thumps The Table
Lake Success, N.Y., Nov. 20.
The Soviet Foreign Minister, M. Molotov, made an unexpected appearance in the Political Committee of the United Nations General As- sembly today to present Russia's case on the presence of Allied troops in non-enemy terri- tories.
He said: "The war has been over a long time and one should have thought that Allied troops would have been withdrawn. In some cases, However, troops remain and are the means of interference with internal affairs, and have: developed a strong net of air and naval bases outside their own territorial limits.. "World opinion, interested in, the maintenance of enduring peace, is getting anxious. This does not apply to troops en former enemy territory, for which there are good reasons. "In the case of Allied coun- tries there is no justification for the presence of Allied troops, with the exception_of troops needed to secure lines of communication."
M. Molotov said that directly

M. Molotov added that "grent interest is displayed in some countries regarding the Arctic Ocean. The Soviet Government in August made a proposal to Security Council member states to submit to the Crunch date on their troops in non-enemy territories.
TOMMIES CRITICISED
Moscow, Nov. 20: The Soviet Government newspaper, "Izvestia": today described the British ad- ministrators in Palestine as "guardians with a swastika.”
"Highly placed Englishmen have more than once stated that Palestine is a heavy, wanted burden, and it is only because they are sorry for that unhappy country, that they do not withdraw their troops and relinquish the niandate.
“But the behaviour of the British troops in Palestine prove that they feel them- selves to be real conquerors," the paper states."--Reuter,”.....

Manchester Strike Over
London, Nov. 20, Britons have been sharply reminded in the last few days that this Christmas will again be marked by "austerity" by threatened cuts in electricity supply which would affect cook- ing and shops' lighting ---
Appeals to cut down electricity consumption have been "em- phasised during the last few days by broadcast warnings that if consumption la not reduced the current will be cut off.
In parts of London, Birming- ham and Leeds this has already been put into effect.
The Ministry of Fuel and; Power stated today that no re- laxation would be possible for Christmas, as electricity plants| are carrying their full load.- Reuter.
