...Brentano then addressed himself to the Soviet Foreign Minister: "Mr. Molotov may be sure of this: though he once managed to sign a treaty with Messrs. Stalin and Ribbentrop, and thus to seal an alliance between two totalitarian systems, he will not be able to bring about such a treaty again with the federal republic of today or with the reunited Germany of tomorrow...
...time when the political plumage of his opponent, Labor's tousleheaded Herbert Vere Evatt, was sadly ruffled by the Petrov spy case. Because two former Evatt associates were named by Petrov as his collaborators in espionage (but later cleared) Evatt, with birdlike innocence, had written to Molotov, asking for confirmation of his own contention that the MVD documents produced by Petrov were forged (TIME, Oct. 31).

In Russia his name became symbolic of the wreckage done to Soviet economy by Stalin and his gang in their struggle for power. Last week the Soviet government (run by Stalin...
...theory of the unasked question is a myth that many German politicians desperately cling to. At Geneva the West had forced Molotov to admit plainly again and again, that whether or not West Germany is in NATO, Russia would never consent to free elections, which would allow West Germany to "swallow up" Communist East Germany. Already Molotov's admission had forced a new line in East Germany itself: free elections is a dirty term; after all, free elections had not prevented the emergence of Hitler.
