West's Conditions For Meeting Of Big Four
Washington, Feb. 11.
The Russians will have to agree to unlimited discussion of European areas before the Western powers will set the date for a Big Four deputies conference in Paris, authoritative sources said today.
The next American, British and French approach to Moscow on a Big Four meeting would insist again on flat assurances that the Soviets will not restrict discussions.
With Forging 10-Cent Notes
The seizure of a large amount of forged 10- cent Hongkong Government notes and a printing machine at Homuntin on January 8 had a sequel before Mr Wicks at Kowloon this morning, when five men faced committal proceedings on charges of possession of forged bank notes and forging the notes.
