Will Develop System On Which Survival Depends
London, Feb. 20.
Britain, France and the United States today told the world that they intend to develop "the system of defence on which their survival de- pends" following the failure of the Berlin confer- ence to solve the German and Austrian question.
In a statement agreed by the three Western Foreign Ministers before they left Berlin and re- leased simultaneously in their own capitals today, the three Ministers defended the Western security system and claimed that Soviet security proposals would have involved its dissolution.
The statement said that the Soviet plan for Euro. pean security "would have involved the dissolution of the Western security system, while the military power of the Soviet bloc in Europe remained intact.”
The three Western powers reaffirmed their interest in the security of Berlin. They said "as regards Berlin, the three Governments reaffirm their abiding interest in the security of the city as expressed in the tripartite de- claration of May 27, 1952. They will do all in their power to improve the conditions in Berlin and to promote the
economic welfare of the city.”
