Within six days, Soviet Russia and the West-have found themselves recognising two separate Chinese · Gov- ernments, and two separate German governments." This is frankly recognised in London to be a for more serious and testing state of affairs than the already existing diplomatic duplication by which the great powers had contrived to recognise the two Korean governments. On the day the new East zone government was formed with its seat in Berlin, the British Foreign Secretary, Mr. Ernest Bevin, sailed for home after a month in the United States without any furthar session of the Council of Foreign Ministers, being fixed with the Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr. Andrei Vyshinsky.
