f/. S. Government Protests Austrian Government's Pro-Nazi Laws
WASHINGTON, (JTA) - The State Department has issued a statement revealing that the U. S. Gov¬ ernment has informed the Austrian Government of its dissatisfaction with the three pro-Nazi laws passed laat week In the Austrian Parliament under which more than 20,000 former Nazis will have their property and civil rights restored. Jewish organizations In Austria and in the U. S. have protested against these laws.
The statement discloses that the U. S. Government also expressed its concern about the action taken by the Austrian Parliament amending the Third Itestllutlon Law to the detriment of Jewish and othcf victims of Nazism, The U. S. Commisaioner In Vienna, the statement emphasized, has been Informed of the views of the State Departments^ Aa American representative on tho Allied Council, the body which must approve the Austrian laws, he can veto the legislation and thus prevent the enactment of the measures. ©
The text of the State Department'H stAtement reads as follows: "On July 18 the Lower House of tho Austrian Parliament approved three laws granting 1. Amnesty to certain Implicated Nazis; 2. Can¬ cellation of property forfeitures of certain implicated Nazis; and 3. Promotions for certain Implicated Nazis whose civil service promo¬ tions had been frozen.
"The Lower Houae also approved a law amending the Third Restitu¬ tion Law. The amendment provides that persons who had been required under the Third Restitution Law to restitute land to victims of Nazi persecution now have tbe right to purchase such land without the consent of the original owner. The amendment also provides for tbe possible reopening of judgements returning their enterprises to vic¬ tims of Nazi oppression, if such en¬ terprises were found to have been indebted at the time of the original deprivation.
"The Department of State haa Informed the Austrian Ambassador in Washington that it la greatly disturbed to have received reports on the above legislation when res¬ titution and general claims prob<- lems of victims of Nazism still have not been satisfactorily re¬ solved by the Austrian Govern¬ ment, apd that It is equally con¬ cerned about the action to amend the Third Restitution Law to the detriment of victims of National Socialism,
"The Department of State ia of the opinion that two further laws, passed by the Austrian Parliament on July 18 granting compensation to civil servants, resident in Aus¬ tria, for loss of salary and other losses suffered by them during the Anschulusa, and granting compen¬ sation generally to victims of Nazi oppression who reside in Austria, do not adequately meet the request, frequently expressed by the Gov¬ ernment of the U. S. to the Gov¬ ernment of Austria not to dls- crlniinate against such victims on the basis of their present resldenoe or citizenship.
"The Acting U- S. High Com¬ missioner in Vienna who is the United States representative on the Allied Council, which is the body to which the above legislation will be submitted for consideration, has been informed of the views of the Department," the statement con¬ cluded.
Information reaching Washing¬ ton brought out the fact that while the State Department has made it clear to the Austrian Government that the U. S. is against Austria's pro-Nazi laws which affect Jewish victims on .Nazism, tbe Soviet au¬ thorities have taken quite a dif¬ ferent stand on the matter.
The Soviet Union, ^ike the U. S.. Is represented on the Allied Council in Vienna and Its representative there -like the American represen¬ tative—has the right to veto any legislation passed by the Austrian Parliament. However, a State De¬ partment spokesman, reyealed at a press conference here that Moscow feels that It is 'deplorable" for the U. S. to meddle in internal- Aus¬ trian affairs.
