Moscow Conference yields little progress on key treaties
After weeks of wrangling, foreign ministers failed to secure Austrian or German treaty terms. Marshall blamed the Russians for obstruction while Molotov pressed for repatriation of German prisoners by year end. The Austrian pact remains unsettled, leaving four powers with occupation troops for months. A separate graft case in Washington advances as May, Garson, and associates face further testimony. Wheat talks at London stall over price plans, with Britain insisting on lower prices to shield producers. Rent control debates move in Congress, with a 10 percent cap proposal defeated and continuation until December 1948 under President’s flex plan.
