Soviet Foreign Minister Vyaeh-

isters conference in Paris and that
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.

Arverican imperialism.
