CONDITIONS STATED FOR DISCUSSIONS
Free Elections Demand
London, May 13.
The United States, Britain and France today told Russia they will join the four-power talks on unifying Germany if the Kremlin first agrees to free all-German elections.
Further, the Western Allies rejected the Soviet suggestion of a neu- tralised Germany linked with neither East nor West.
In almost identical notes, the Western Allies also asserted any all- German government must really be free even before a peace treaty is signed
The 1,750-word replies were delivered in Moscow on Monday. Their aim was to kill off any Russian attempt to pose as the principal champion of German unity.
The Western Allies said they are ready to begin negotiations” “as soon as it is clearly apparent that it is also the intention of the Soviet government to avoid the fruitless discussions of the past.”
