Gains Seen From Paris Conference
Secretary of State Byrnes returned from the Paris peace conference with Truman’s praise for a “most excellent job” at the 21 nation talks. US actions against Czechoslovakia, including canceling $344 million in surplus property credits and suspending a $50.0 million rehabilitation loan, signal deteriorating US relations with the Soviet bloc and a tougher stance on Eastern Europe. Byrnes expressed optimism about progress toward peace and hoped the November 4 council of foreign ministers meeting in New York would finalize five peace treaties.
