come to us, among other sources, from the

It ie the intention of all three Western Governments,
who are completely together on this, to stand firm in

matter is to disrupt the recovery of the Western Zones
in Germany and thereby European recovery.
DANUBE CONFERENCE
It might be useful to emphasize that the Danube
conference at which we are being consistently outvoted

of Foreign Ministers in New York at which, in exchange

Powers agreed to a conference within six months from
the entry into force of these peace treaties to be
composed of members of the Council of Foreign Ministers
and the states bordering on the Danube.
The draft Convention propos ed by the Soviets,
which will undoubtedly be adopted by the conference,
would be unacceptable to the United States, and our
Delegation and the British and French will vote against
it.
THE EMPLOYEES OF THE SOVIET CONSULATE
IN NEW YORK
We are somewhat concerned lest the Un-American
Acitivities Committee go too far in the direction of

those countries.
