The Washington Merry - Go- Round By DREW PEARSON (Note—This is the second of Drew Pearson’s cclumns on the secret conversations between | Secretary of State Byrnes and ? the Russians which finally broke the USA-USSR dead- lock.) WASHINGTON — Climax of the bitter long-drawn diploma battle between Russia and the, United States came when the Yugo- slavs walked out of the peace talks in New York, and then came round to Secretary Byrnes next day thinking they could horse-trade. They found, however, that 'the leng-suffering Secretary of State was in no horse-trading mood. He told them that the United States was reconciled to the fact that there would be no peace treaty | and he didn't want to discuss the| matter further. U. S. troops, he' said, would remain in Trieste inde- | finitely. | ‘This horrified the Yugoslavs. Al- so it worried the Rusians. Appar- | ently they thought the United| States was o anxious to sign a| peace treaty that Byrnes could be! badgered and bullied indefinitely. | So when Byrnes told Yugoslav Delegate Edvard Kardelj that Am- erican patience had reached the! end of its rope, Molotov came to! see him immediately. | In much more cenciliatory mood, the Russian Foreign Minister asked what the trouble was. | “We've been here for days,” re-! plied Byrnes nd in all that time!/ the only things we can agree on| are three minor provisions in the Italian treaty which involve the| use of the word ‘or’ and the use of ! the words ‘in particular.’ On the| other 49 provisions, there has been | no agreement and no prospect of one; yet these provisions were pass-| ed by a two-thirds vote in Paris, as stipulated by Russia. f “We've adopted the Russian plani of procedure, but even so you won't| come to an agreement,” Byrnes| continued. “So the United States simply cannot afford to wait. I, tor one, am reconciled’ to not having| a treaty. We'll just get along with-| out one.
