Moscow, Apr. 14. · General George Marshall, reversing former State Secretary Byrnes' policies, today stated cate- gorleally that the Council of Foreign Ministers would not be obliged to accept the two-thirds recommendations of the future German peace conference in drafting the final German peace treaty.
The statement at the Big Four meeting, debating future procedure, contradicted Byrnes' long fight in Paris on the peace treaties for satellite nations.
