Foreign
Commissar
Vyacheslaff
Molotoff
announced
in
a
speech
to
the
Soviet
Parliament
tonight.
Molotoff
declared
that
"there
can
be
no
question
of
the
restoring
of
Poland"
and
that
it
was
"absurd
to
continue
the
present
war"
for
such
a
cause.
He
declared
that,
although
Great
Britain
and
France
understand
this,
they
do
not
want
the
war
stopped
and
peace
restored.
He
accused
the
Allies
of
seeking
new
excuses
for
continuing
the
war
with
Germany
and
scoffed
at
British
and
French
ruling
classes
which
"have
lately
been
attempting
to
depict
themselves
as
champions
of
democratic
rights
of
nations
against
Hitlerism."
