Soviet Threat

Threat Brings Angry Bevin Retort

Paris, July 2.

Russia flatly broke,with Britain and France tonight over the Marshall Plan for Europe and the Western powers announced that they would go ahead alone, despite Soviet warnings that this would split Europe.

When the Soviet Foreign Minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, rejected the "last chance" French com- promise in the conference on Europe recovery, con- ference sources said the British Foreign Secretary, Ernest Bevin, flushed and angry, rose and looked at Mr Molotov fiercely.

"I regret that Mr Molotoy threatened that if we con- tinued this beneficent work we must face grave conse. quences," Mr Bevin said. "Well, my, country has faced grave consequences and threats before, but that is not the sort of prospect which will deter us from doing what we consider our duty. Nevertheless, I profoundly regret that threat. Our policy is to dominate no one and to co-operate with everyone.

We shall ask all the countries of, ed States and not to the European Europe if they wish to collaborate countries themselves, such a position with us.
