supposed to work out a programme for a new conference of the Big Four Foreign Ministers is still caught in a deadlock for which there is as yet no solution in sight. Both Soviet Russia and the Western Powers have made gestures at compromise involving some slight modifications of their original positions, and, there is still a chance that the talks will lead to agreement on what the Foreign Ministers are to talk about. But it is becoming evident that this chance rests not so much on any

open to Soviet penetration. Moreover, to put this programme on the agenda of a Big Four conference they are perfectly willing to discuss the issue of armamenta raised by the West, not in an effort to redress the imbalance of forces now imperilling Europe but rather to increase their own preponderance of armed force by a proportional and un- Controlled armament reduction which would be effective only in the West and would leave the West more defenceless than ever. The Western Powers have long since agreed upon a policy in respect to Germany as well as in the matter of armaments, and outside of the Paris meeting they stand firm on their decisions. But within the meeting" they still give the impression that all these decisions might be for sale for an mess of pottage in the form of new Soviet promises which are not worth the paper they are written on!” The political upheaval in France, the change in the Foreign Ministry in London and vacation time in Washington may be partly responsible for this, but it would Beer that the time has come to take
