Belgium, U.K., Holland Say "Acceptable"
London, Sept. 20.
First reactions to the French Premier's speech to the Consultative Assembly of the 15-nation Council of Europe earlier today showed that the United States and Germany disliked certain fea- tures of the speech but that Belgium, Britain and Holland regarded it as an "acceptable basis of negotiation" at the forthcoming nine-power talks on European defence and German rearmament. of Here at a glance is the reaction of individual coun-

Asked what the French Government would do if Britain and the United States decided on imme- diate and complete restoration of German sovereignty and German rearmament and proposed German admission to NATO, M. Mendes-France said simply "the American and British Governments are realists
