HOLD MORNING MEETING TODAY

Berlin, Feb. 12.

The Big Four Foreign Ministers decided in secret session yesterday to instruct their experts to meet on Saturday morning and Sunday to pre- pare next week's order of business.

The Ministers themselves are holding an un- usual morning meeting today and may have another morning meeting on Saturday. Normally, they only meet in the afternoons.

The second secret session yesterday on inter- national tension and a conference with Communist China "achieved no practical results," a high American source said.

This afternoon the Ministers get down to Austria for the first time.

Berlin conference sources said that at yesterday's meeting Mr Molotov continued to press for a Big Five conference to discuss and nogotitaé a settlement of all points of East-West tension,

But the Soviet Minister did appear to show some interest in a meeting on the Korean question, as pro- posed by the Western powers. He questioned the three Western Ministers on who would invite whom to such a meeting.

Guthu contended that he had meeting.

Mr Peter Thorneycroft, President of the Board of Trade, said today he would give "all possible help and guidance" to a group of British businessmen who are negotiating trade contracts in the Soviet Union.

Mr Ivan Kabanov, the Soviet Foreign Trade Minister, told the group in Moscow last week that Russia was willing to buy £400,000,000 worth of ships, machinery and other goods from Britain, between 1955 and 1957.

Mr Woodrow Wyatt, (Labour) asked in the House

of Commons, today what help Mr Thorneycroft would give to. British businessmen to increase trade with the Sovjet Union in view of the official Soviet proposals...

Mr Thomaycroft replied that, Limited, Dursley, said ho hud he had been in close touch with signed a provisional contract the group before they left for today for the supply of 90 diesel Moscow. He would be interested generating sets of 410 kilowatt to know what they had to say capacity for
