Further Progress In Discussions On West Germany

London, Feb. 18.

The Big Three Foreign Ministers and West Germany's Chancellor Konrad Adenauer took two big steps on Monday toward preventing German pride and French prejudice from wrecking the Western defence buildup.

Informed sources said the four-power talks, which continued far into the night, ended with plans by Britain, France and the United States to meet French demands for guarantees that German participation in a European army would not mean the rebirth of German militarism.

APPLICATION TO BE EXEMPTED

FROM ORDINANCE

Plans by the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation to erect an eight-storey building at an estimated cost of $2,000,000 to replace their present Mongkok branch were disclosed in an application for exemp- tion from the provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Ordinance, 1947, hearing of which commenced before Mr W. H. Latimer, President, in the Tenancy Tribunal this morning.

The premises affected by the application were erected in 1920 and for many years before the Pacific War housed the Mongkok Fire Station. It comprises five houses in one block at the corner of Nathan Road and Argyle Street.

In Britain today the pudding is a sweet dish that follows the main meat course and may take the place of "sweeta" or dessert.
