SPUR sas eet - The meetings in. determinate close A ders and Trieste. of Germany, meetings offered a preview of the problems that face the com- ing peace conference. And the barrier past- which the ‘Big Five conference was unable to pro- ceed proved to be. the attitude of the British “and American imperialists toward those new European governments that have developed ‘out of! ‘the anti-fascist eee Chae Ware _# 308 _ On several occasions prior to “itS actual close, the . conferente was” ‘réported on the verge of ‘collapse. Significantly, ihe “Brit- -ish,° Canadian’ and | Américan press seized on such ‘reports “and distorted »their -Mmeaning out of all relation to the-faets.:Even ‘more significant, press: comment was: anti-Soviet and reactionary in. the, extreme. Take these examples of the kind- of “reporting” that came out of the’ conference. The pres- ence in London of a bodyguard for Foreign Commissar Vv. M. Molotov was played up as an -international “incident.” Every proposal put forward by Molo- tov was made the basis of the wiidest sort of anti-Soviet specu- lation, yet very little was said about the reactionary positions of British Foreign Minister Bev- in and U.S. State Secretary Jas. F. Byrnes. Field Marshal Sir Maitland Wilson, on an official British mission to the United States, uncorked a blast against, the USSR which went unrebuk- ed by Britain’s Labor govern- ment. And Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King, with typical evas- iveness, joined the reactionary chorus by hinting that Canada might not ratify the peace treaty if treaty boundaries were not to her satisfaction. NEW RELATIONSHIPS Behind this screen of reac- tionary clamor and maneuver were,a number of salient facts. Both Bevin and Byrnes are well aware of these facts. They know that in a world where imperial- ist rivalries play a major -role, the making of treaties is a question of the relation of forces. And what troubles these spokesmen for British and Am- erican imperialism are the exist- ing power relationships on the continent of Europe arising from the antifascist war. Generally speaking, these new relation- ships come under the following headings: ; @ The elimination of Germany as a dominant imperialist power in Europe for some time to come, together with the greatly strengthened position of the “Soviet Union on the Continent through removal of her pre-war encirclement by hostile states. @® Imperialist rivalry between Britain and United States, with the American monopolists hold- ing the definite advantage. @© The development of a new type of democracy in liberated Europe, opening up the possibil- ity of an entirely new period of sccial development on the Con- tinent. . This latter question, with all its related problems, was un- doubtedly the basic point of dis- cussion by the foreign ministers of Britain, the U.S., the USSR, Pro Lendon of the Council Agreements No definite progress was while discussions of the Balk ar JOE Lert} By AL PARKIN “in principle ”’ of Foreign Ministers have come to an in- were reached on the Italian-Yugoslav bor- made on Italian colonies and the treatment 1 problem ended in (Clubs. ‘and _ Chairmen listed VANCOUVER CENTER GINGER GOODWIN CLUB— Meets every Sunday 8 p.m. at 875 East For telephone Glyn BA. information 7031L.
