GENERAL
1. Austrian Treaty deadlock continues--US Embassy London
reports that at the last meeting on the Austrian Treaty the
Soviet delegate continued his attempts to. inject the Trieste
issue into the negotiations. The Soviet deputy insisted that
no date could be set for the next meeting until the Western
Powers had answered the 20 April Soviet note which accused
the Western Powers of violating the Italian Peace Treaty
provisions on Trieste. The Western delegates replied that
they would be in London on 10 July ready to resume negotia-
tions.
(CIA Comment. By injecting the Trieste issue into
the Austrian Treaty talks, the USSR has again demonstrated
that it is under no compulsion at this time to reach agree-
ment with the West either on individual issues or on an over -
all settlement. In addition to using the Trieste issue as an
excuse for further stalling on the Austrian Treaty, the USSR
probably hopes by this means to embarrass the West in its
relations with Italy and Yugoslavia and to demonstrate that
the West does not carry out its international obligations.)
