Soviet Foreign Minister Vyach-

British -American capital was at-
tempting to "subdue" war -weak-
ened nations.
He said that Britain and` the
United States, "grouping them-
selves in a. bloc, gave the confer-
ence no chance of reaching an ag-
reed decision" on the disposition of
Italian colonies or on the matter of
Italian reparations.

After 108 years of personal rule
by the "White Rajahs, the inde-
pendent state of Sarawack, in. north-
ern Borneo, becomes part of the
British Empire. Sir Charles Vyner
Brooke (top), present "White Ra-
jah," has ,just ceded his realm,
shown on map below, to the British
Crown. In 1838 the first white ra-
jah, James Broolte, was elected to
rule the country by the people and
the native Rajah lViuda, whose sub-
jects proved more than he could
handle. Brooke governed. financed
and controlled Sarawak single-
handed. His nephew, Charles
',make, succeeded on his death in
^R, and when he died, in -1917, the
present rajah took over.
