Charge Russ Fear Blocks Austrian Pact at Moscow
In Vienna US officials charged Soviet fear of the Greek Turkish aid program led Moscow to block an Austrian agreement at the Moscow conference. They alleged Russia sought maximum military strength in Austria and a continued flow of Austrian goods while examining Eastern Mediterranean developments. General Clark said German asset definitions blocked a treaty. Molotov refused to discuss compromises. The Russian demand for exemption of Soviet property would sideline American property in Austria.
