Required

London, Jan. 10,

The Commonwelath Prime Ministers agreed today that the Big Three Western powers should continue to seek peace talks with Russia providing there was a guarantee that such talks would not be a waste of time..

Conference sources said the Ministers also concurred with the Atlan- tic Pact nations' decisions on rearmament and that any "approach to peace should be made through strength."

The King Returning ToLondon

All the Ministers agreed that four-power talks should take place if the Western powers could get reasonable hopes of having proper talks. They all agreed that such talks should not be held under duress or threats and that there must be preliminary preparations to guarantee that they would not be wasting their time.
