Admiralty Lord Walks Out At Peace Conference
Britain’s first lord of the admiralty A V Alexander walked out of the peace conference military commission in Paris after Russian General Slavine accused him and U S Admiral Richard L Connolly of representing old fashioned democracy. The vote still invited Albania to express views on the Italian treaty military clause. Hodgson attacked the veto by big powers in the UN Security Council during Trieste talks. Molotov appeared as debate opened on Trieste statute with Horvath backing Yugoslavia for control in part. Britain and the U S seek UN Security Council direction for the zone. Italian Yugoslav talks continued with no breakthrough on the frontier or future statute.
