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.
