Anglo-American Decisions

W. GERMANS WILL THINK BEFORE COMMENTING

Bonn, July 15.

The West German Government was today expected to consider very carefully its final com- ment on the Anglo-American decisions on German sovereignty for fear of offending France.

It is realised here that a false move from Bonn might well help to kill any possibility of France's agreement to the idea of separating the European Defence Community from the Bonn conventions. This, in German eyes, would be an advance on the present state of affairs, if the Bonn conven- tions were put into effect.
