י

Moscow, Mar. 19.

U.S. Secretary of State Marshall has coldly re- jected Russia's bid for U.S.$10,000,000,000 re- parations from Germany. He rebuked the Soviet for charges that included a declaration that U.S.$10,000,000,000 in reparations · had been removed from the western zones. Mr. Bevin joined Mr. Marshall in sharply critising Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov at the ses- sions of the Foreign Ministers' Council and said flatly that the Russian Foreign Minister's declarations "are not true."

The Big Four. Deputy Foreign Ministers agreed to set up four committees to ald in the drafting of the preliminary peace treaty for Germany. Russia blocked participation by the smaller na- tions in the drafting of the German settlement despite United States and British insistence they should be included.

U. S. Deputy Murphy and So- viet Deputy Vichinsky clashed repeatedly over small nation participation. Citing Canada as an-lustration, Mr. Murphy sold the question was not one of "favours" but of the "rights" of the natione in question.

Murphy said Canada entered the wor before the Soviet Union and the United States and -made a Bubstantial con- tribution toward the defeat of Germany.
