Allied High Commission for Austria

International Organization, 1951, vol. 5, issue 2, 411-412

Abstract: The report of the United States High Commissioner for Austria (Donnelly), covering the last quarter of the year 1950, listed the communist-led general strike and its subsequent repression as the most outstanding event for the period under review. The Federal Chancellor of Austria (Figl) charged the Soviet element of the quadripartite government for Austria with aiding and abetting the general strike, and interference with the Austrian police in its attempt to restore order. At the Executive Committee meeting of November 3, 1950, the United States, United Kingdom and French deputy commissioners advocated the adoption of a resolution upholding “the right and duty of the federal police authorities to exercise all rights and duties vested in them” to maintain law and order. The High Commissioner reported that the coalition government was considerably bolstered by the prestige and confidence it received from its resolute handling of the communist-led disturbance of October.
