FOREIGN RELATIONS, 19.46, VOLUME III
renounce all claims to the Colonies difficulties would arise at a later
stage. The second paragraph was of lesser importance and was one
of drafting from first sight. Mr. Jebb believed that if the declaration
were necessary to the treaty the intention of the article from a legal
point of view was quite clear. He suggested that the Deputies revert
to this matter at the next meeting.
  The Deputies agreed to consider this question at the next meeting.
              ARTICLE 4 OF THE HUNGARIAN TREATY
  MR. COHEN pointed out that a drafting error had crept into Article 4
of the Hungarian treaty which spoke of "organizations conducting
propaganda hostile to the Soviet Union". The words "to the Soviet
Union" had not been included in the Hungarian Armistice or in former
drafts of Article 4 which had been agreed upon.
  M. VYSHINSRKY stated that Article 4 as contained in the draft peace
treaty was a misprint and should be rectified.
  The meeting closed at 1: 00 p. m. when the Deputies agreed to meet
next Tuesday evening.5

  The Commission resumed consideration of the Yugoslav amend-
ments (CP(Gen)Doc. 1 U 7 and 8) to Article 13. Although the first
paragraph as well as subsection (a) of the second paragraph of amend-
ment U 7 had already been voted on and disposed of, Mr. Vyshinsky
(USSR) asked the Commission to reconsider all of the second para-
graph of the amendment including its three subsections (a), (b) and
(c). He said that after further consideration the Soviet Union would
have to vote against these portions of the amendment and expressed
the hope that the Yugoslav Delegation would not press them. Mr.
Bebler (Yugoslavia) asked that the Commission vote on the amend-
ment (U. 7) as a whole. It was defeated by a vote of 5 to 13 with
2 abstentions.
6 September 24; however, the 117th Meeting did not take place until Novem-
ber 12 in New York. Examination of the records of the Council of Foreign
Ministers and the Deputies does not reveal the cause for the September 22
receSs.
