WORLD OPINION IS Jap Insincerity
GETTING ANXIOUS, SAYS MOLOTOV
VIGOROUS REBUTTAL OF CHARGES BY AMERICAN DELEGATION

LAKE SUCCESS. NOV. 20. THE SOVIET FOREIGN MINISTER, MR MOLOTOV, MADE AN UNEXPECTED APPEARANCE IN THE POLITICAL COM- MITTEE OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO-DAY TO PRESENT RUSSIA'S CASE ON THE PRESENCE OF ALLIED TROOPS IN NON-ENEMY TERRITORIES.

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 an territory, for which there are good reasons,
"In the case of allied countries there is no justification for the
