LONDON, Doe. 21—<JP>—The British
cabinet will confer Monday on a ten-
tative plan drawn up by Foreign Sec-
retary Ernest Bev tn which may swing
Britain over from a mediator s role tn
postwar world affairs to a "stop Rus-
sia" partnership with ths United
States.
Observers said that Bevtn. though
irritated by charges of soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov that Britain
is following an "imperialistic" policy,
is nevertheless reluctant to force a
showdown which might end Big Four
consultations.
Before Che breakdown of the foreign
minister's conference on Germany for-
eign office spokesmen expressed a con-
viction that a policy of compromise
and conciliation might iron out east-
west differences.
After the parley failed Bevln was
reported to have refused to commit
Britain when United States Secretary
of State Marshall broached a tenta-
tive plan to halt delivery to the USSR
of dismantled industrial plant facil-
ities as reparations from the Amer-
ican sone of Germany.
