GENERAL
1. French ertapose Western conference on Austria- -The
French Government has proposed to the US and the UK
that a conference be held soon on a governmental level
to consider Western policy in Austria in the event that
a treaty is not concluded. The French favor strengthen-
ing the internal authority of the Austrian Government
and propose a considerable reduction in the administra-
tive duties of the occupation authorities. In conclusion,
the French point out that they do not contemplate the
reduction of occupation troop strength and stress that
they do not wish to prejudice the treaty negotiations,
weaken the quadripartite system, contribute to the parti-
tion of Austria, or give the impression that the Western
Powers are seeking a separate treaty.
