CHANCELLOR FIGL—THEODORE KACHAN Paris, France May 14, 1953 To the Editors, FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL: May I request that you publish this letter in the issue in which you print my article entitled “A Glass of Beer with the Chancellor.” For I would like to add a brief postscript to my story about Chancellor Leopold Figl of Austria. Figl and the men of his coalition deserve much credit for having stood off the Russians and for having firmly dealt with the Communists in Austria during seven years. Al¬ though he is out of office now, his fight is still continuing today. Our own help, of course, is a major factor in the 57 Overseas Branches picture, but in Eastern Austria the Soviet Union has occu¬ pation troops and if the Austrian government has been able ARGENTINA CUBA MEXICO Buenos Aires Havana Mexico City to maintain its authority there it is in large measure due Bartolomc Mitre 502 402 Presidente Zayas 54 Avenida Isabella CatdlicQ Flores Cuatro Caniinos to the steadfast, courageous and forthright behavior of Galiano Kepublica Plaza Once La Lonja PERU such men as Leopold Figl.
