Four Leaders Meeting Brighten

Washington, July 9.

The chances of a meeting between Western and Soviet leaders this autumn looked good today as the Big Three Foreign Ministers made final preparations for the opening here tomorrow of their much-discussed con- ference.

The French Foreign Minister, M. Georges Bidault, and the British Acting Foreign Secretary, Lord Salisbury, arrived on separate planes for talks with the Secretary of State, Mr John Foster Dulles,

The guarded optimism of British and French quarters about the possibilities of talking to representatives of the Kremlin is based on bilateral exchanges which have been going on for some time between Paris, London and Washington through normal diplomatic channels.

On the one hand, M. Georges Bidault has shown himself to be much warmer recently to the idea of a high level session with the Soviet government this autumn, and on the other Mr Dulles has indicated to London that the United States will not be rigid in laying down pre-conditions for such a parley,
