AMERICA REJECTS OVERTURE
No Bilateral Negotiations With Soviet Russia Cannot Afford A Failure, Australian Wool
Declares Marshall
Washington, May 12.
Mr. George Marshall, the Secretary of State, tonight rejected the idea of a bilateral conference between the United States and Russia-loss than 48 hours after Moscow had announced its willingness to enter into such a conference. Mr. Marshall, who was speaking at his weekly press
conference, said the only way to proceed with.c settlement was to tackle outstanding issues in the bodies already set up to deal with them, such as the United Nations Security Council and the Allied Control Commission in Berlin. "This Government has no intention of entoring into bilateral negotiations with the Soviet Govern- mont on matters relating to the interests of other governments,” he declared in a specially prepared statement. There was n danger of failure in a new conference and "That would do the world great harm,"
To a crowded news conference, Mr. Marshall declared in a dhean "What we want is netion voket In the Belds where action is pos- sible and urgently necessary at the present time.
