London, Mar. 4.
The Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr V. M. Molotov, said in a state- ment on the Berlin conference tonight the North Atlantic Pact was a repetition of the anti-Comintern pact between Germany, Italy and Japan' before world war two.
Mr Molotov's statement, issued by Tass, official Soviet news agency, said the postwar trends of development in the camp of the capitalist countries had been "graphically revealed during the past five years. It is now clear to all that the ruling circles of the United States lay claim to the role of leader in this camp. They lay claim even to more.
"They brazenly say that they have assumed the |- 'burden of a leading role in the world,' that the United States allegedly is the “leader of the world," although
