CLEAR THE DECKS FOR PEACE Mr. Alexander Wants To Get On With It

No Wish To Bear Finn Sets

Malice,

Paris, Aug. 16.

Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov said during his speech at tonight's plenary session of the Peace Conference that the Soviet was opposed to any adjournment of the conference. Britain gave notice that she would propose Austria should be called to give her views. Russia indicated that she would object to Austria being called.

Britain's chief delegate, Mr. A. V. Alexander, call- ed on the conference to "clear the decks for peace" and get on with the treaties without. further delay. He announced that once the treaty with Italy was signed, Britain could use her influence to secure Italy's admittance to the United Nations Organisation, "as quickly as practicable."
