WALL OF VOTES

ANTI-SOVIET BLOC ACCUSATIONS AGAINST AUSTRALIA NEW YORK, September 10. When the Security Council resumed consideration of the Ukraine’s charges against Greece, M. Manuilsky accused Australia of delivering moral lectures on the obligations of members of the United l Nations of which they were not in need He also claimed that Mr P. M. C. Hasluck (Australia), was trying to introduce methods into the United Nations by which the small Powers sometimes became trumpets for big ones. The Australian delegation at Paris, under the wing of anti-Soviet propagandists, had submitted dozens of amendments, compelling the Peace Conference to begin its work all over again. M. Manuilsky claimed that ,a wall of votes was being raised against the Soviet, andi said that Russia hadl not sent observers to Greece for the plebiscite on September 1 because it considered such action would constitute interference in another country’s affairs. M. Manuilsky denied that the Ukraine’s charges were propaganda, and said the Soviet wanted friendly neighbours on its borders. The charges against Greece were not an expansionist move. Senor Velloso (Brazil) agreed with Australia’s views, andi formally moved that the Council pass on to the next item on the agenda. M. Dendramis (Greece) briefly denied M. Manuilsky’s charges, and the Council adjourned without reaching a vote.
