Mr. Leo Mates, the Yugoslav Deputy Foreign Minis- tor in a statement to the Foreign Press hero. today, said that his Government strongly dis- approved of the Italian Government's anti- Yugoslav attitude in connection with Triasto. It considered it detrimental to international co-

operation, he added.

M. Mates indicated, however, that Yugoslavia was ready now, as in the past, to enter into direct, negotiations with Italy on the problem of the Froo Territory.

"But this does not depend on!

"Such policy and such an at- titude of he Italian Government and of responsible political cir- cles, organised groups and indi- viduals in Italy, followed by n systematic anti-Yugoslav paign in the press and radio, left a great Impression on Yugoslavia which could not be passed over in silence."

The "evil character" of the canipaign was illustrated by the fact that the most vociferous participants were people ranging from the "extreme Fascist groups and former war criminals to the representatives of anti-Yugoslav policy in the Cominform cump."

Acheson, Bevin may

discuss Jap peace treaty

Washington, April 20. Informed quarters said today that the Secretary of State, Mr. Dean Acheson, and the British Foreign Secretary, Mr. Ernest Bevin, would discuss the subject of the Japanese pecce treaty during their talks in London prior to the opening of the conference of the "Big Three" Foreign Ministers on May 15, *

It was expected that the treaty would also be one of the points on the agenda when the French Foreign Minister, Robert Schuman, jolned Mr Acheson.

These three officials agreed in Washington last September that the bolding of the Japanese peace conference was an urgent, matter. However, since that' timo uttle it any progress 'han been made.
