The clash between Australia and Russia over re- parations-which began with yesterday's sub- mission of an Australian amendment propos- ing a separate reparations commission-con- tinued bitterly today before the committee of the Paris Conference.

Mr. V. Molotov, Soviet Foreign Minister, in a 40- minute specch to the Italian Economic Com- mittee, accused the Australian delegation of being "tendentious and biased."
