Received Wednesdav, 7.45 p.m. WAS11 1 XGTOX, July 2. '•Tliere is 110 basis whatever for war between Kussia and tlie Unit.§il States," saixl the Soviet Ambassador, .Mr. Novikov, in an interview. ile said he was conJident that all difl'erences between tliein would be ironed out. Eurojie at present was in a most ditiicult period of transitioii from war lo peaee and problems could not be hanimered out overnight. Asked how the United States could best assist Kussia to rebuild her devastated areas, Mr. Novikov said, lirstly, Kussia wislied the Allies, including tlie United States, would carry out the agreement on reparalions from (lerniany, especiallv regarding deliveries from tlie western areas of (Jerniany which at jiresent were lialted and aiiiouiited to Jittle.as far as Soviet rehabi litation purposes were concerned. Ile believed that the Soviet fear that her western Allies did not actually intend to destroy Gerniany's war making eapacitv, would continue until the plants wero dismanlled or niade availnble as rejiarat ions. However, eurreiit ditliculties sliould not be permiltcd toi destroy the unity, understaiurnig andl conlidence built up between tlie two nations during Ihe war and espeeially j through tlie Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam eonferences. Good faith 011 botlv sides was the best way to avoid serious eeouomic or political clashes. Thij l'ailh could best be built by praetical deeds and to carry out mulual obligations.
