The American secretary. w-ying "peace among tho Allies in this in- terdependerl‘. world cannot be furthered" by ignoring such at- tacks, hit at substitution cf “some other country" for the place Ger- many occupied in dominating the economy of the beaten countries

He defended vigorously the econ- omic proposals made by the Unit- ed States for the peace treaties. and in commenting on reparations deliveries said they "taka valuable assets from the-s; impoverished lands and necessarily slow down their economic recovery."

Mr. Alexander asked that the conference boar in mind that its primary objective is to reach agree- ment with ths five former emmy powers and to restore normal con- ditions in those aones.

Britain did "not wish to bear malice." the British delegate said. and "if the other states will reciprocate we will hold out to them the bar/ls of brotherhood."

‘The charge has been made that certain powers were seeking to eu- tablish a monopolistic ptmflob in the Medlternanean against th- interests of both Ital ani IH-snce. This is an oxtraord nary state- ment.”
