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:

1. Sweden considers the Senndi- navian pact as the wisent insiru. ment at present to keep the cold war out of Scandinavia.

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.
