Coincidentally with the receipt of the Siamese charges, an Assoc- jated Press despatch from London quoted a French: Embassy spokes- man there as predicting "difficul- ties between Siam and Indo- China." A British Foreign Office informant said Britain would sup- port Siam in bringing the. affair before the United Nations Security Council, U. K. - U. S. 'Bloc'? Soviet Foreign Minister Vyach- eslav M. Molotov declared in Mos- cow that a British-American "bloc" had waged an offensive against Russia at the recent Big Four Min- 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. Informed circles declared that if there were an Anglo-American bloc it was the natural result of Moscow's actions and it was be- coming evident that Russia really believed its charges-of British and American imperialism.
