45-minute press conference at which he revealed to a greater or lesser degree Russia's attitude on a number of thorny problems confronting the five- power council of foreign ministers Defending the Soviet-sponsored governments of Romania Bulgaria and Hungary Molotov said those Balkan states now have democratic governments enjoying the confidence of an overwhelming majority of the people of those countries" Reservedly Support Yugoslavia Molotov supported with some lk measure of reservation Yugoslav- la's claims on Trieste and the adjacent Italian provinces of Istria ad Venezia Giulia He said Russia thought it just that "those territories which belong to the Croats and Slovenes be turned over to them and as regards territory which is Italian in character it is proper for Italy to take them" Molotov said the disposition of Italy's coloqies was a choice be) tween collective trusteeship and one-nation trusteeship He observed that the world has had no experience with collective trus-' teeship Molotov said there was a "grain Of truth" in reports that Russia was interested in the disposition of Tripolitania the western part of Libya He said the disposition of Tripolitania and Eritrea was under discussion by the foreign ministers adding that "the So- Viet urim is interested in the question and can I think be helpful" Yugoslavia presented her claim to Trieste and neighboring
