VETO POWER MODIFICATION
London, Oct. 23.-Mr Winston Churchill, speak- ing in the House of Commons to-day, accused Russia of breaking her Yalta pledges and inferentially charged the Soviet with maintaining more than 200 divisions "on a war footing" in occupied Eastern Europe.
Mr Churchill said, "It was easier in Hitler's day to feel and forecast the general movement of events than it is now. Now we have to deal, not with Hitler and his cruel Nazi gang, with anti-Semitism as its principal theme; we are in the presence of something very much more difficult to measure than what was set out so plainly in the pages of Mein Kampf. We are in the presence of a collective mind, whose springs of action we cannot define. "There are 13 hr 14 very able men in the Kremlin who hold all Russia and

Removal Of Haunting Fear Of Another War Powers' Major Task
Attlee Decries Pessimistic Note In Commons Debate
•
London, Oct. 23.--Mr Clement Attlee, Prime Minister, resuming the debate on foreign affairs in the House of Commons to-day, said: "Everyone must have sympathised with Mr Bevin in the magni- tude of his task. Quite apart from the major prob- lems of the future of Germany and Japan there are adjustments in the relationship of the states of Europe and old quarrels come up again that have been running for years. Some of these states were fighting for the Allies. Others willingly, and others more or less unwillingly, were tools of the Nazis.
"There is in many parts of the world a clash of nation- aliiles and while perhaps the most urgent problem is the future of Europe, there is the challenge of Asia, the Far Fast, India, Indonesia and Palestine. Problems with which we are not dealing to-day.
