Sweden States Her Position
Why She Supports Scandinavian -Pact
Washington, Feb. 10. - A highly authoritative source to day said that the Swedish Am- bassador, Mr Erik Boheman, told the Secretary of State, Mr Denn Acheson, yesterday:

Austrian Treaty Talks: Yugoslavia Still Left Out
London, Feb. 10.-Russia today served notice on the Austrian treaty conference that it considered as an "ultimatum" the refusal of the Western Powers to invite Yugoslavia unless it could guarantee new proposals.
The Chief Russian delegate, Ambassador George Zarubin, again demanded Yugoslav participation at the second day of the conference. But the West stood firm in refusing unless Mr Zarubin could give assurances that Yugoslavia could offer some new proposals.
