1,West to approach Vishinsky on Austrian treatyi-The Depart-
ment of State has instructed US Ambassador. Kirk in Moscow
to join with the Frencii and British Ambassadors in making
an approach as soon as possible to Soviet Foreign Minister
Vishinsky on the question of the Austrian treaty. The Depart-
ment indicates that the approach should consist of an oral
demarche and an aide memoire, designed to obtain either
a flat Soviet refusal to continue negotiations or assurances
that the Austrian treaty may be concluded on the basis of
existing agreements without the creation of further obstacles
by the Soviet representative. The Department .ecommends
that the Ambassadors: (a) remind Vishinsky of his recent
promise in New York that no further difficulties would be
encountered on the treaty if the Soviet position on the German
assets were accepted; (b) avoid detailed discussion of specific
articles of the treaty; and (c) avoid giving the impression that
the Western Powers are overly eager for a treaty.

INDOCHINA: Thai views on Bao Dai Government- -US Em-
bassy Bangkok 'as been informed by the Thai Fdd,eign Min-
ister that his government, while fully aware of the gravity
of the Indochina situation, is not prepared to extend re-
cognition to Bao Dai until France actually grants independence
to Vietnam and Bao Dai receives a large measure of popular
support The Thai Foreign Minister added that in the absence
of these developments 7the Thai Government will continue
to regard Bao Dal as `a French puppet"' who will eventually
fail," In conclusion, the Thai Foreign Minister expressed the
opinion that (a) there is no reason why an accord similar to
the Netherlands agreement in Indonesia cannot be reached with
Ho Chi Minh (Communist leader opposing Bao Dai) and other
VietnameL.e leaders; and (b) the problem in Indochina is one
which the UN might well endeavor to solve, I I,.
