    "ocrText": "-6-\n\"The decision of the Soviet Union to pursue, both\ninside and ou side the United Nations, a separative in-\nstead of a cooperative policy in its foreign relations\nhas affected every phase of the Organization'swork, as\nit has affected international relations generally. The\nresultant struggle between East and West, which has re-\nplaced wartime collaboration, has thus far prevented the\nestablishment of that stable peace that the Organization\nwas designed to maintain. It has produced a universal\nsense of insecurity and suspicion that makes difficult,\nand on occasion impossible the spirit of conciliation\nand compromise essential to international cooperation.\"13\nIV. EUROPE\nAustria: US Protests USSR Delays on Treaty.- -The US\nGovernment is taking a serious view of the Austrian treaty\nimpasse caused by the Soviet position, according to a state-\nment issued by the Department on January 18 announcing that\nthe US Ambassador at Moscow had been instructed to make rep-\nresentations to the Soviet authorities.\n14\nThe US, British, and French Ambassadors at Moscow called\non Mr. Gromyko, First Deputy Foreign Minister, on January 18,\nafter the Deputies of the Council of Foreign Ministers had\nfailed to reach agreement in their London meetings of January\n9 and 13. As Mr. Gromyko gave no assurances to the three\nARCHIVES AND SERVICE\" RECORDS NATIONAL my\nAmbassadors that the obstacles would be removed in the near\nfuture, it is doubtful whether further progress can be made,\naccording to a statement issued by the Department on Janu-\nary 19, which concluded that \"under the circumstances, con-\nsideration will be given to future appropriate action that may\nbe taken to reestablish Austrian freedom and independence in\naccordance with the publicly stated policy of this Govern-\nment. \"15\nBalkans: Betrayal of Human Rights.--In Bulgaria, Hun-\ngary, and Rumania, where ruthless minorities have seized\npower by force, terror, and intimidation and cruelly sup-\npressed every fundamental right and essential freedom, the\nsystematic liquidation of political and religious leaders\nhas been extended to \"deviationists\" in the ruling groups,\nDeputy Legal Adviser Jack B. Tate stated before the Law So-\nciety of Massachusetts at Boston on January 5. Mr. Tate\nrecited the successive steps taken since last April, when the\nUS charged the three Balkan nations with violations of the\nhunan-rights clauses of the peace treaties, to January 16,\nthe date fixed by the International Court of Justice as the\n13\nDepartment of State publication 3712.\n14\nPress release 49, Jan. 18.\n15\nBulletin, Jan. 30, p. 162."
