CONTRIBUTION
OF
TO DEFENCE WEST ANNOUNCED
Lisbon, Feb. 26.
Western Germany is to contribute 10,200 million marks in the year 1952-53 to Western defence-1,050 million marks less than recommended by the "Three Wise Men," it was announced here tonight.
The three Western Governments have agreed that the 1,050 million marks difference between this figure and the 11,250 million marks reconi- mended by the Atlantic Pact's Harriman Committee should cover part of the cost of the general police forces, frontier guards, military pensions and the mobile police forces in West Berlin..
A communique issued here tonight by the "Big Three" Western Foreign Ministers - Mr Anthony Eden (Britain), Mr Dean Acheson (United States) and M. Robert Schuman (France) — said that the negotia. tions between-America, Britain and France, on the one hand, and Germany on the other regarding the German financial contribution to defence in 1952-53 had now resulted in agreement.
