London, Dec. 127.
This week has seen the virtual completion of work on the first five peace treaties those with Italy, Hungary, Bumania, Bulgaria and Fin- land. As such, writes Reuter's Diplomatic Correspondent, it marks the end of an epoch which started most inauspiciously in London in September, 1945, with the first meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers,
Next week a further stage will open with the pre- liminary talks on the German peace settle- ment.

“THE LADY IS WILLING"
Berlin, Dec. Za Berlin's population of 3.170 832 is composed of about 30 percent women, census figures released by the Allied Kom-, mandantur disclosed yesterday, and is typical of a Germpay, which is still waiting the re- turn of nearly 4,000,000 pri- soners of war.
Berlin has 1,855-456 females against 1,280,376 males,
The Soviet sector of the city is the most populous with 1,170,297 inhabitants.
Populations in other sectors are: American zone, 975,504; British, 002,530 and French 421,358.

Communist Hint
French criticism .concentrates on the political danger teared in the elimination of zonal bar-
riers. The fact that the mer

visit to England of the German Social Democratic leader, Dr. Kurt Schumacher, has tended to increase French suspicion that Britain and the United States are undully concerned to build up Germany, France, of course, was never a paply to the Potsdam Agreement that Germany should be treated as an economic whole.
Soviet comment on the mer- ger has been much more reser- ved. The first indication that it may be regarded as a hin- drance to the unification of Ger- many as a whole was given by the London Communist paper, "Daily Workers," yesterday in terms that may prove signifi- cant,
