DEPARTMENT OF STATE
FOR THE PRESS
MAY 18, 1948
No. 390
The Department has seen the press reports of a statement
by Premier Stalin in response to an "open letter" from
Mr. Wallace. Premier Stalin's opinion that a peaceful
settlement of outstanding problems is possible and necessary
in the interests of a general peace is encouraging, but the
specific issuës listed in Premier Stalin's statement are not
bilateral issues between this country and the Soviet Union.
They are of intimate and compèlling interest to many countries
and have been under negotiation for the past two years or
more in bodies where other countries were represented, such
as the United Nations and the Council of Foreign Ministers.
For example, the U.N. Atomic Energy Commission and its
Sub-Committees have held over 200 meetings and the Commission
just yesterday reported its inability to reach an agreement
because of the adamant opposition of two of its members --
the Soviet Union and the Ukraine to proposals which were
acceptable to the other nine nations represented on the
Commission, A similar situation exists with regard to other
issues mentioned in Premier Stalin's statement.
