Veto Question Raised "Only To Divert Attention" From Important Matters

Reference To Mr.

Churchill

New York, Oct. 29.

Delegates to the United Nations General Assem- bly gathered for today's session with expecta- tions of a strong speech from the Soviet For- eign Minister, Mr. V. Molotov.

In this, his first speech before the General Assemi- bly since its foundation, Mr. Molotov took the following line:

1. He denounced the critics of the veto rights of the great powers-or, as Russian com- mentators call it on the "principle of un- animity of the great powers."

2. He denounced "incendiaries" who talk of

the outbreak of a new world war...

3. He called for removed of British and United States forces from such non-enemy terri- tories at Egypt, Iraq and Greece.

4. Finally he called for United Nations de-

nunciation of Franco Spain.

ON CHURCHILL

London, Oct. 30. Reuter's Diplomatic Correspondent says that it is unlikely that the British Government will comment officially on Mr. Churchill's assump- tion that the fallure of any Government spokesman to deny his assertion that there are 200 Soviet divisions in Eastern Europe fm- plies a sort of confirmation.

An equally important aspect of Generalissimo Stalin's latest statement is its bearing on the discussions about Germany due to take place at the New York meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers on November 20, the corres- pondent adds.

In theory the Foreign Minis basic difficulty about merging ters appear to be able to start Germany is that each of the. with an unusual amount of four occupying powers is, at common ground between then. present able to try out its Marshal Stalin has indicated theories in its own zone, When that, like ME.

Marshal Stalin also indicated he believes agreement on the level of German industry, which was reached in March 1946, must be reviewed and revised. This has recently been emphasised by Mr. Bevin and Mr. Byrnes.

The British Government is publishing tomorrow an account of the way its islands in the Pacific -notably the Solomons-resisted the Japan handless European Jews to Fales- ese invaders. The account, which is given in a booklet entitled "Among Those Present,” be- gins with the fall of Singapore, which made the Solomons defenceless. From a strictly military point of view, evacuation would probably have been the proper course. but to the islanders this would have been re- garded as desertion.
