The five states of the Soviet bloc did not participate, and Pakstan and Afghanistan abstained. (For text of resolution see addenda, page 14.) The resolution, sponsored by Brazil, Lebanon, Mexico, and the Netherlands, had the full support of the United States. Earlier, Benjamin V. Cohen, alternate delegate for the United States, speaking before the Political and Security Com- ittee, declaired: The United States welcomes the resolution . . call- ing upon the governments concerned to reach agreement on an Austrian treaty to terminate the occupation of Austria and to restore to Austria its rights to sovereign statehood. Back of the action taken by the General As- sembly lies the story of a major postwar tragedy. It is a story of broken pledges on one hand and frustrated hopes on the other. It is an illustra- tion of the methods employed by the Soviet Union in ex)loiting otheT peoples and other nations, re- gardless of pledges solenmly given and repeatedly reaffirmed. Techniques oF Betrayal IHIere, in capsule, is an illuminating picture of Soviet techniques in handling nations and peoples who refuse to knuckle under. The Austrian treaty negotiations are a case study for the free world. They can be a lesson for those who still trust the Soviet word. There could be no clearer picture of the dillh ulties of dealing with the men of the Kremlin.
