Walk Taken By Briton in Paris Talks
Britain’s first lord of the admiralty A V Alexander walked out of the peace conference military commission in protest after Gen Slavine accused him of representing old fashioned democracy. The vote invited Albania to express views on the Italian treaty military clause. Alexander left a subordinate to cast one dissenting ballot as France the United States and Greece voted with four against. Hodgson attacked veto use by big powers in the United Nations security council over Trieste. Molotov appeared at the commission meeting. Horvath backed Yugoslav control of the Trieste zone while Britain and the United States favored UN direction. Trieste must respect the will of its people and hinterland.
