Conference, to suspend its work, and so on. The Soviet del-
egation cannot pass this over in silence, all the more since
these false reports are represented in some quarters as the
opinion of the Soviet delegation.
The Soviet delegation is of the opinion that at this Peace
Conference we should strive to work concerledly and at the
same time perseveringly for the earliest possible consumma-
tion of the work we have undertaken. We are of the opinion
that it is better to adjourn 'something else, rather than the
Peace Conference. We are also in favour of our not con-
fining ourselves to a provisional peace, as has been proposed
by one of the speakers at our Conference. We want our
work to make a real contribution to the establishment of
stable and lasting peace—the peace which all peoples, big
and small, are expecting, for which all the peace-loving na-
tions are striving. (Applause.)
