INDIA WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE IMPARTIAL HAD SHE

BEEN INDEPENDENT

Paris, October 14.-An allegation that India would have been more impartial at the Paris con- ference if she had been independent was made at the plenary session of the conference to-day by M. Vyacheslav Molotov, the Soviet Foreign Minister.

M., Molotov attacked the conference as far as the "unagreed clauses" left open by the Big Four were concerned. Asserting that results would have been different if some delegates had been able to vote as they liked without being subjected to external pressure, M.

PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE ENDS WORK ON TREATIES

FOREIGN MINISTERS TO HOLD PRELIMINARY, DISCUSSIONS ON GERMANY IN NEW YORK

Paris, Oct. 14-The Paris peace conference ended its 11-week work on the five peace treaties to-day and the Big Four Foreign Ministers set November 4 as the date of their first meeting in New York to try to solve the prob- lems they failed to agree on here.

In a cool atmosphere a few hours after the Soviet Foreign Minister, V. M. Molotov, angrily attacked the Western nations, especially the United States, for their policy and questioned their motives the Big Four in half an hour determined their procedure for the rest of the year.
