The Moscow foreign minister issued the cu st omary violent d mi leading statement, which British Foreign Secretary Bevin described as a travesty of the facts. What olotov said waa that the ,...,. British and French proposal is to create a new organization standing ov~r and above the countries of Europe, and interfere in their internal affairs, even going so far as to determine the line of development to be followed by the main branches of their industries. And !~!t Bevin denounced as a travesty. • Molotov further declared that European would find themselves placed under control and would ' lose their for~er economic and national independence. BJ iaplicatio{he accused The United States of aiaing to dominate the world, and he said that Soviet Russia definitely would have no part in the Marshall . Plan. Be even threatened Britain and France that if they accept Marshall's offer, they must fa ce t he conse q uences.

But he went on to say that the Soviet threats will not deter the British fro ■ what they consider their duty. That Britain and France will ask all countries of Europe if they wieb to collaborate. And if there are any who reply •yes,• then the British and French ou ~ ht to be able to show by their exa ■ ple bow false are the accusations that ha•• been made against thea. The French Foreign Minister an n ounced toda7 that the French government will pursue its study of the Marshall plan -- pursue this study with all cc 1ntri s ready to work with thea. Be said he ho p es that no refusal will be final -- meaning the Russi an refusal.

Thi to se arate the oolicies and ideologies of two parts of Europe. With the iron curtain along that line, maybe along that line for years. In the British Bouse of Commons, the Lord President of the Council announced that if the Marshall Plan is not in operation within six months, the British government will have to cut down its imports even more that it has already. That only a prompt applicati~n of the Marshall Plan will remedy the condition brought about by the increasing shortage of dollars. That that shortag has obliged other countries as well as Britain to reduce their i,ports, especially Argentina and Sweden. Thia Cabinet Minister then pointed out, that, so long as this endures, thew rld will be on a downward oath, and if it co tinues long, it ill end int thro t tling of world trade, in short, - - orl disaster.
