FOUR POWER MEETING Washington And London Reaction Varies

THE CHINA MAIL, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1953.

WEST GERMAN GOVT PLEASED

Reaction to the Western Powers' note proposing a Four Power meeting in Berlin was varied.

Britain, the West German government and West Berlin welcomed the proposal, but it was coldly received in the United States.

There was little enthusiasm in Washington and sources there appeared to be doubtful of the outcome of the meeting.
