BYRNES BLAMES From Page One would have been for Britain and the United States to "yield their views and convictions" to the Russians.

Neither was willing to dol. SO and the conference adjourned without even a formal record of its proceedings, Byrnes said. The reason, he explained, was that "the United States is willing to dictate terms of peace to an enemy but is not willing to dicate terms of peace to its Allies." "We are willing to make concessions," he declared, "but the United States does not believe in agreement at any price." Byrnes tried in his address to appear hopeful and not too pessimistic. Byrnes held out hope that the Russians would accept his compromise proposal on procedure and that a second try at peacemaking would be made soon. 'But in general his speech was a dismal review of days of debate among the Powers in London over procedure and interpretation of earlier agreements at Potsdam.

For the first time he gave a clue what may have been the major difficulty behind all the bickering over procedure. He revealed Soviet disappointment with the failof Britain and America to recognize the present governments of Bulgaria and Romania. The Anglo-American view is that they are not representative of their peoples. Byrnes said the Soviets apparthat objection to those governments is because of their friendliness to Russia "and that our unwillingness to recognize these governments is a manifestation of unfriendliness to the Soviet Union."
