U.S., Britain
Strike Back
At Soviets
PARIS, Aug. 15 W The
United States and Britain struck
back today with blunt and un
varnished ' statements at Soviet
reflections" on their peace con
ference policies.
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."
