Kremlin Conspiracy Charge By Dr Garbett

London, Nov. 9.

The Archbishop of York, the Most Reverend Cyril Garbett, warned today that the Communist upheavels in Korea, Berlin, Malaya and Indo-China were "part of a world-wide conspiracy directed by the Kremlin against Western civilisation.”

Dr Garbett told bishops and clergymen at a conference that the cold war may last a long time.

He branded next week's "Peace Congress" at Sheffield as part of the Russian method of allaying suspicion and sowing dissension.

State Department spokesman, Michael McDermott, said he presumed the Chinese dele- gates also could discuss the Korean problem "if they want to."
