Free Elections

As First Item On

The

Agenda

London, Sept. 24.

The Governments of the United States, Britain and France in identical notes presented in Moscow, have renewed their proposal for a four-power con- ference on German reunion, at which the first issue to be discussed would be the holding of free elec. tions throughout East and West Germany.

The proposal is essentially the same as that put forward by the three Western Governments in their note to Russia of July 10.

The text of the notes presented in Moscow yesterday was released here tonight.

The Western Governments have rejected the pro- posal in the latest Soviet note to the West on the Ger- man problem of August 23 that the negotiation of a German Peace Treaty and the formation of

an all- German Government should be discussed before the holding of all-German elections.

The Western powers state have been suitable Immediately of that on the terms they outline after the end of the war, is smug the four-power meeting could not suitable in 1952.
