Dy DA.-NEIL DE LUCE BERLEV, (AP) -l-'tu.ma's V. M. Molotov, Monday night tossed the Big Four conference a Soviet-style peace treaty for Germany. It would set up a unified Germany but leave it virtually defenceleee with the Red Army on its door-

step.

Molotov dredged up an old so- riet draft of a treaty whose terms the West will not accept.

The Soviet minister spurned the idea of a. European Defence Com- munity with West German troops as "an lnsurpea-able obstacle" to

same breath. he appealed to France to repudiate EDC, follow Rrussial policy on Germsrty, and court friendship with the Kremlin.

A British delegation spokesman said Molotov "failed to submit any reasonable plan of his own and showed no sign that he would be ready to consider the Eden plan endorsed by all three western powers on its merits."

would Sink Army Plan

Molotov. in a speech aimed at sinking the European a.rrny project forever. made it clear to the Brit- ish. American and French foreign ministers that the Kremlin re- fuses any deal that would permit even one German soldier to Join the western defence system.

He brushed aside the arguments of Britain's Anthony Eden and France's Georges Bidault that the EDC would safeguard Ruuio. as well as other nations from a re- surgence of German militarism after this country's unification. Franco agreed to the Potsdam

Molotov accused Britain and the United States of pursuing "Hitler's 00110109" in developing an interna- tional system of military bases ricer the Soviet frontiers.

"rho political aim. the political sense. of the plans for a so-called European Defence Community is that three states-the United States Great Britain and France-attempt to create together with the official masters of western Germany a war bloc against a fourth state- the soviet Union," he said.

Mr. Drew said he is not stating that the film board headquarters should be in Ottawa or Montreal. The House had no information before it to make A decision on the best site.

But the question of the location of the board should be placed be- fore the Commons as "was clearly implied by the Prime Minister in his statement on Jan. 10.

Mr. St. Iaurent said the cabinet reconsidered the decision to move the board to Montreal and the amount to be spent. The govern- ment had decided to place a den- nite recommendation before Per- liament that the headquarters be in Montreal.

Mr. Harris said the government has spent 8256.000 on purchase of the Villa st. Laurent property in Montreal. About 305.000 to 530.000 would complete the transaction.

He said it will cost "perhaps 5600.000" to transfer personnel and equipment to Montreal and pur- chase furniture now being used by the film board.

Outside the House it was ex- plalned that some buildings were rented furnished.

OTTAWA. (GP) - Solon Low. Social Credit leader. suggested Monday that members of Parlia- ment who oppose I. 34,000 increase in seesional lndemnlues be given a. chance to refuse it.

He said in the commons that he will offer an unendlrnent later to a bill boosting the pay of sen- ators and commoners to 510,000 from 80,000.

The amanidment would give members an option of collecting the additional pay which other- wise would go to members auto- matically. It would show "how much of this talk is on principle and how much is for political pur- poses."

"I don't vmnt any person to re- ceive what he doesn't want to re- ceive."

LONDON, (Reuters) Parlia- ment upheld a government decis- ion to discard a new British rifle in favor of a Belgian model Mon- day.

The House of Commons voted 202 to 232 against a Labor party censure motion attacking Prime Minister Churchill's Conservative government for choosing the .30- calibre Belgian weapon in prefer- ence to the British-designed EM-1 .28-calibre rifle.

Churchill charged Opposition members with anti-Americanism during the debate. He said scmci trying to find fault with the United 8t.1tes,l "even on this question of the rifle".

Earlier. Wyatt, who moved the censure motion. said Churchill was trying to satisfy the United! States and. in so doing. was completely abandoning "legitimate and reasonable British interests."

Betrsying Trust

The British rifle is the best in the world. Wyatt said. He saidl Churchill was "betraying a trust". to give British soldiers the best possibly weapons. .

The prime minister countered by saying the socialists commit- ted "in grave and scandalous act! of folly" in approving the British model while they were in power in 1951.
