ADENAUER VISIT Describes

TO MOSCOW

Berlin, June 9.

said today.

The West German Chancellor, Dr Konrad Adenauer, who has been invited to Moscow, would not be asked to recognise the East German Communist regime or to suspend West German rearmament within the Atlantic Pact as a prerequisite, the source said.

He would of course have to accept the fact that an East German ambassador would “co-exist” in Moscow alongside a West German ambassador. In the Soviet view this situation merely recog- nised the existence for the time being of two separate German states.
