The world probably will get little
information about the peace talks
once they start. The communists
have barred Chinese and foreign
newsmen.
Friday, April 1, 1949
Russia is virtually sure to con
sider her treaties with Britain and
France dead upon the signing of
the North Atlantic security pact,
diplomatic informants in Moscow
predicted today.
The Russians railed anew at the
alliance, branding it on offensive
instrument designed to scare na
tions which refuse to accept Bri
tish-American world domination.
The acid Soviet memorandum
to the seven original sponsors of
the alliance said the pact under
mines the “very foundations” of
the United Nations and violates:
international agreements. The
treaty is to be signed Monday in
Washington.
The Russian note was sent to the
United States, Britain, France,
Belgium, Holland. Canada and
Luxembourg.
The British foreign office today
rejected any suggestion by Russia
that the Atlantic treaty violates
either the U. N. charter or the Bri
tish-Russian friendship treaty.
Diplomatic authorities in Wash- i
ington predicted that the U. S.
and other Atlantic powers will
also reject the Soviet protest.
Secretary of state Dean Ache
son scheduled a high pressure
round of conferences with West
ern European foreign ministers
today.
Winston Churchill declared last
night that “Europe would have
been communized — like Czecho
slovakia — and London under
bombardment some time ago but
for the deterrent of the atomic
bomb in the hands of the United
States.”
But, the veteran British states
Kremlin . . . aiming at the rule of j
the world” had self-preservation
man said in his Boston address
“war is not inevitable.”
Churchill threw out a blunt ac- j
, cusation that “thirteen men in the
us the root of their “sinister and
malignant policy.”
The wartime prime minister de
clared that the western world was
“now confronted with something
quite as wicked, but in some ways
more formidable than Hitler.”
Congress in general expressed
approval of Churchill’s speech,
although there were some bitter
Conservative British newpapers
described the address as “a recipe
for peace.”
In Damascus, Brig. Husni Zay
im, new Syrian dictator, told in
terviewers he overthrew the old
government because it was “rot
ten.” And too weak to “face com
munism” and other problems.
Zayim said he intends to restore
civil government as soon possi
ble, but that it his efforts to form
a cabinet fail he will procliam
military rule.
The Chinese government’s peace
delegation landed in Ked Peiping
today. The communists immedi
ately clampbd a ban on the publi
cation of all news concerning the
activities of the nationalist nego
tiators.
Tanjug, official Yugoslav news
agency, reported in Belgrade to
day that Bulgaria has arrested
about 100 persons—some in high
official posts—in a crackdown on
a spy ring. The dispatch denied
that the spy group was linked to
Yugoslavia.
