DOMINICAN PEACE PLAN

Russia Attacks ‘lmperialism’

(N Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) NEW YORK, June 20.

Russia dismissed in a Security Council debate the Dominican peace plan of the Organisation of American States as a “sanctimonious sermon” designed to conceal the “monstrous crimes” of United States “imperialism.”

The United States Ambassador (Mr Adlai Stevenson) had read into the record of the Security Council the text of proposals of the O.A.S. peace committee for an end to fighting and establishment of a constitutional government in the Dominican Republic. The proposals provide for the immediate establishment of a provisional government representative of all sectors of the country to be granted diplomatic recognition by ail countries.

This would be followed within nine months by the holding of elections. The Soviet Ambassador (Mr Nikolai Fedorneko) immediately attacked the plan outlined by Mr Stevenson. “Here in the Security Council we are speaking precisely of who is guilty and who is the responsible party for the monstrous crimes that have been committed against a small State of Latin America,” said Mr Fedorenko.

“The whole world knows that the guilty and responsible party is American imperialism.” Both the rebel leader. Colonel Francisco Saamano, and the head of the civil-military junta, General Imbert Barreras. “reserved” their opinions on the plan.
