3290. Delsec 664. For the Acting Secretary from the Secretary. Mr. Bevin has suggested that no effort be made to have Italian or Austrian applications for membership in United Nations put forward at this time as Italian peace treaty not concluded nor is treaty for establishment of Austrian independence concluded. I agree to this suggestion and have told Bevin I would inform you accordingly. [Byrnes.]
