Signed In

Month's Time

Washington, Apr. 22,

The source said the Big Four could meet if the Soviet Union raised no obstacles to the conclusion of the Treaty...

The Western Powers, in identical notes trans- mitted to the Soviet Foreign Ministry today, suggested that preparatory work for the confer ence begin on May 2 among their ambassadors in Vienna and an Austrian representative. '-
