tary OF state
Marshall and Foreign Ministers
Beyin and Bidault at the Big -Four
Conference in London last Novem-
ber.
The Russians scaled down their
financial claims on Austria from
5000 900 900 to $125 ,000, 900, payable
over six. years beginning In 1851.
They insisted, however, on nnme-
diate withdrawal Of all armies OF
occupation and agreed to organiza-
ton of an Austrian military force
to protect the republics independ-
ence.
This change OF heart IN the
Kremlin was so unexpected that 1t
caused the western powers to Won
der what new trick Moscow has IN
mind.
From the time that the Big -Four
foreign ministers began their peace
treaty negotiations in the summer
Of 1946 Secretary of StaH Byrnes
insisted that Austria be the first
item on the agenda. The American,
British and. French governments
believed that it would not be con-
troversial question.
Secretary Of State Hull and For
eign Ministers Eden and Molotov
had agreed at the first meeting in
Moscow in October, 1943, that the
little Danubian republic-which
Hitler took into the Reich by force
in 1938-should receive favored
treatment at the hands of the Allies
when the war was over. This agree
ment was widely publicized in the
communique issued by the Big
Three at the end of the conference.
To Mr. Byrnes' great surprise Mr..
Molotov firmly opposed, under va
rious diplomatic excuses, any dis
cussion of a peace treaty for Aus
tria. In order not to annoy the
Russians the other members Of the
Big -Four complied with Russias
wishes.
Ever since then Austria has been

Soviet Proposal for Austrian Treaty
Underaoes Diplomatic Scrutiny

the No. l item for the agenda
whenever American, British and
French delegations have met with
the Russians in efforts to settle on
the peace treaties. Each time the
Russians have utilized their veto
power.
At the last conference in London
last fall the efforts Of the western
foreign ministers to complete a
peace treaty for Austria met the
same fate as previously, because
Mr.. Molotov stubbornly insisted on
a $200, ,000. 900 payment to the U. s.
s. r., representing allegedly the
value of the Na1 properties in Aus
tria.
Austria was in no position to
pay such a large sum, even In
two or three installments. More
over, the U. s. s. r. insisted
that Red forces should be main
tanned in the Danubian republic
until the financial obligations as
sumed by the Vienna government
were liquidated. An Allied propo-
sition to withdraw all forces and
organize an adequate Austrian po-
lice force was rejected by Mr..
Molotov.
Diplomatic Bombshell.
With the Big Four deputies
stalled in London on the Austrian
treaty. for nearly five months, Rus
sia last week threw what amounted
to diplomatic bombshell with its
proposals on Austria. II such a
proposal had been made last No
vember it would have been accepted
Fundamentally by all concerned.
Since adjournment Of the Lon
don Conference relations between
the Soviet government and the
western powers have entered an
acute phase. On instructions from
Moscow, Russian military authori-
ties in Germany and Austria adopt
ed an overtly hostile attitude,
which persists even now.
The combined military strength
of the Western Allies in Austria is
less than 20 per cent Of the Rus
sian total. The Austrian police
force, armed with sabers, pistols
and a few tommy guns, is utterly
ineffective in coping with any kind
OF insurrection which the Com
munists might want to stage after
the occupation troops leave.
The American Government Is
fully aware that Moscow wishes to
get us out Of Germany and Austria
by every conceivable means. While
it will have to use strong-arm
methods in order to make us leave
Berlin and the rest Of Germany, 1t
is suspected in Washington and
London that the sudden softentng
Of the Kremlin's attitude toward a
peace treaty with Austria is simply
a device to get us out of Austria by
peaceful means.

lence. Dorothy THOMPSON
The stiffened attitude Of America
helped. European Communists are
not likely to begin civil wars that
might lead to external interven-
ton from both sides. No one wants
to be responsible for starting an
other war.
But the victory will not end the
Communist movement in Italy.
Some 80 per cent of the Italian
people voted for it. That 80 per
cent are not Communists. Actual
Communists are very small group
everywhere.
The 80 per cent vote was pro-
test against things as they are,
while the great popular vote poled
by the anti Communists was no
confirmation of things as they are,
but the expression of hope that
things will be better through Amer
ican aid.
Cauldron Of Unrest.
Things will not be better more
than temporarily, however, If the
American influence on Premier de
Gasperi,s government makes it
tinid of developing an energetic
social program, and If American
aid merely becomes relief, quickly
exhausted.
The problem of Italy and of Eu-
rope-more than ever Of Western
Europe-is fundamentally prob
lem of room. Too many people are
concentrated in the compartments
Of European nation-states for the
land resources of the area to feed.
Italy is a country the size Of Cali
fornia, but with more than six
times its population and without its
great natural resources.
Italy has 5000, 900 landless peas
ants, who furnish the cauldron Of
the social unrest, whether they re-
main as poems on great estates or
drift to cities.
A reform of the.great latifundian
estates Is called for. But it must
be warned that land reforms, to be
successful, call for careful planning
and large capital investment. Other
wise agriculture Is so disorganized
that famine results. Communism
makes land reforms of the cuff,
because its object Is to make the
population utterly dependent and to
drive the peasants to collectiviza-
ton. But the basis-and aim-of
democracy is widespread economic
independence, much harder to
achieve.
| And the division Of estates will
not create more land, nor furnish q
life-basis for more families.
Land Creation Essential.
| More land, therefore, must be
created-as land has been created
in this country by great hydroelec-
trio projects. A systematic survey
Of land-creation possibilities is es-
sential. 1t would be a great job
for American engineering collabora-
ton and eventually would pay of.
And still there would not be
enough lands. Africa, as I have said
in other columns, must be intensive
ly and intelligently developed, and
emigration from the overpopulated
areas of Europe to the underpop-

Essential Reforms Seen Needed to End
Communist Movement in Italy

Lated newer worlds must be plan
ned and furthered.
CommuniSm'S task Is easy. The
worse the conditions, the better, and
then it is rule through ruin by a
dictatorship whose only essential
task is to maintain itself In power
by any and all methods. Com
munism has survived two wholesale
famines in Russia with millions Of
dead each time. No matter what
happens, the people can't get rid
Of their masters.
But democracy's task Is hard. It
must produce results-its life tenure
is staked on that. And to produce
results, it must face and deal with
the fundamental problems. The
issue is not contained in the phrases
right" or "left," but is a matter
of fact, truth, intelligence and
competence.
Until there is room within Europe
and the rest Of the world for Eu-
ropeans who are not bits Of geogra-
ply, but units Of flesh, blood and
spirit, there will be no stability
there-no matter how any one elec-
ton may turn out.

Taft'S Weakness Is 7 TARGET
Stassen Aims at II Ohio Districts Where
Senator Showed Little Strength in 1914

naming him alone and 50 concen-
trating all their Statewide strength
on him; they have asked their peo-
pie to vote only for Judge Marshall
among the delegates at large.
This is single-shotting or So
called bullet voting, a common prac-
tice among minorities seeking to
make a show of strength. The
Stassen statement that they did
not run complete slate because
they didn't wish to run candidates
against Gov. Tom Herbert, whom
I greatly admire" nor against "the
Republican Party leadership" is a
trifle disingenuous.
Mr.. Stassen also suggests that the
test of sentiment in the State as a
whole should be viewed on the
basis not only of the election re-
suits in the industrial areas, where
anti Taft Hartley feeling runs high,
but also of the returns in the two
rural districts-the 9Th and 7th-
which he says "can be taken as a
more correct guide to the southern
part of Ohio"
Farmers Remember.
Senator Taft carried those dis
tricts even against Mr.. Pickerel, but
Mr.. Stassen hardly need fear rural
areas. In Wisconsin and Nebraska
they have just pushed him to the
front rank of presidential contend
ers. Also there is the little matter
Of that unfortunate remark Sena-
tor Taft made in Omaha about re-
ducing parity price levels. He could
never explain 1t away to the salts
faction of Nebraska. Farmers have
elephant memories. That is one
reason the farm bloc in Washington
is so powerful.
Mr.. .Stassen is standing hitched
also on the oleomargarine issue,
which some Taft spy always brings
up in every question-and-answer
period he has. The Minnesotan
explains at considerable length that
he feels the oleo tax is fair pro-
lection for dairy farmers, that theirs
has not been the most profitable
farming because they had to buy
high-cost feed and had a heavy la
Dor factor, that it is necessary to
keep the dairy farmers on the job in
order to get an adequate supply of
milk at the lowest possible prices,
etc.
According to one judicious OBJ
server, Mr.. Stassen sounds q little
bit at this point like "a guy trying
to explain to his old lady who was
the dame he was with last night in
a taxi"
