Soviet Warning To United States
Soviet Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov told the Russian parliament there is no current Soviet involvement in the war and predicted intensified conflict with England aided by the United States. He faulted U.S. embargo actions on gold bought from Baltic banks, defended the Soviet German pact, and said relations with France have collapsed while China relations remain favorable.
