...Molotov Plan. Nine nations-the U.S.S.R., Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Rumania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Finland and Albania-had declined invitations to the conference. It was a hard decision for the trade-hungry Czechs; their Communist Premier Klement Gottwald had flown to Moscow, telephoned to the Cabinet at Prague the night the decision was made. "What else could we do?" said a non-Communist official in Prague. For being good, the Czechs got another Russian treaty and a promise of 200,000 tons of wheat...
...long-range sense, the crisis in that country is getting worse and John Taber does not seem to have any ideas for coping with it. Last week the Greek Government arrested 4,000 Communists on charges of plotting to take over the country (see FOREIGN NEWS). From Communist-run Albania, a new guerrilla drive over the Greek border began. Suppose either internal or external Communist pressure, or both, succeeded in overthrowing the Greek state.

Meanwhile Vasslli Oendramis, Greek ambassador to the United States, urged U.N. Security Council intervention at Lake Success in view of "drastically more serious" conditions on the Greek-Albanian frontier...
Last week, when U.S. Delegate Warren Austin warned that in Bulgaria, Albania and Yugoslavia U.N. might need force to pursue its investigation of Greek border violations, it was painfully apparent that U.N. had no force to use; the international police force was still not in being. So long as Russia insisted that it should be made up of equal contributions of troops from each of the Big Five, it was not likely to come into being; under the Soviet plan the U.S., Russian and British shares could be no larger than China...
