Parley Votes
To Hear Iran,
Austria Views
PARIS, Aug. 17-0P)-The Euro
pean peace conference, turning
down Russian objections, voted
15 to 6 today to invite Austria
to present Its views on the draft
treaty with Italy, and then ap
proved unanimously a soviet sug
gestion that Iran also be invited.
Championed by Britain, and
supported by the United States,
the Austrian proposal provided
that the former enemy state be
invited to explain its point on
the Italian treaty "on the same
terms as Albania, Mexico, Cuba
and Egypt.'
All six Slav nations opposed
the move, which a Russian dele
gate said was intended to air
Austria's Claim to the South
Tyrol.
The debate prompted a sugges
tion that the Big Four hold meet- i
Ings outside the plenary sessions
to speed the work of the confer
ence which has not yet gotten
down to the tank for which it was
summoned i the drawing of rec
ommendations to the foreign min
isters' council on the treaties for
Italy, Finland and the Balkan
nations.
American View Given
U. S. State Department Coun
sellor Benjamin V. Cohen said
the American viewpoint was that
"Austria should have the right to
present her views here. It seems
to u sthat it would take less time
to hear the views of Austria than
to debate their right to be heard."
