Finland, last of the five former enemv states to be heard, pre sented a keynote of collaboration "with her great neighbor to the east, the Soviet Union. Czechoslovakia bitterly re plied to Hungarian attacks on Czech treatment of Hungarian minorities. U. S. Secretary of State Byrnes, taking exception to Rus sian allegations during the de bate on Italy that certain nations had enriched themselves during the war, said the war had cost the United States $400,000,000, 000 and "I hope he (the Soviet spokesman) was not referring to the United States." Trad Bans Hit Striking at economic causes in the peace treaties "which tend to restrict and divert tradi or distort International economic re lations, Byrnes said the United States "has no apology to make for the principles of justice, equality and freedom which we have striven to the best of our abilitv to write into the peace. A. V. Alexander, Britain's first lord of the admiralty, complain ing that the debate had tended to endanger agreement, said "the words of the first delegate of the United States (Byrnes) are in full accord with the sentiments of Great Britain." He called Bulgaria's demands on Greece for western Thrace "intolerable." Finnish Foreign Minister Carl Enckell praised Russia as a "generous victor." but entered a plea for reduction by $100,000, 000 in Finland's reparations pay ments and an easing of the ter ritorial cessions she has been forced to make. Byrnes said economic treaties in contradiction of the Potsdam agreement would lead to "en slavement and exploitation." Just A Memory GAPLAND. Md..
