Editorial Note

Chancellor Julius Raab arrived in London on June 16 for a 4-day visit which, according to Embassy officials in London, was designed to show Raab “the high esteem in which he and the Austrian people were held by the British Government and people and to demonstrate the importance which Her Majesty’s Government attaches to Austria attaining full independence.” Embassy officials concluded that the visit “entirely satisfied” Foreign Office officials even though “no matters of any substantive importance were discussed.” (Despatch 4212 from London, June 30, 033.6341/6–3054)
