Clear Deterioration Seen In International Situation In London
The British Foreign Office reported Russia joining a big four foreign ministers council on November 25 to discuss a German peace treaty, a test of world cooperation. A Belgrade based information bureau tied to Communists was criticized as resuscitating the Communist International. The manifesto attacked Attlee and Bevin, while Italian Communist Longo denied the bureau was Cominform. Diplomatic observers weighed its impact on the November ministers conference after a stalled Moscow meeting.
