BE importance which the
THE
British Government attaches to the meeting in Washington at the end of this week between the three power Foreign Ministers is indicated by the strength of the British contingent. Nevertheless, It Is Home- what misleading for observers, to describe the forthcoming discussions as a "Little Bermuda." Thero is no intention on the part of any of the participants to make this conference a substitute for the meeting originally proposed between President Eisenhower, Sir Winston Churchill and the Premier of France. The decision to hold the Foreign Ministers conversations
was, of course, a direct consequence of the enforced postponment of the Bermuda talks, and in that sense the Washington meeting can be regarded as a preliminary to eventual, top-level dis- cussions, although these
unlikely are now
to merialise before Septem- ber, irrespective of how rapidly Sir Winston Churchill regains his full health. But there are other
reasons for the Washington conference.
