Difference Over Timing The Russians CIVIC Of German Reunification

.

BULGANIN WILL NOT YIELD

Geneva, July 19.

The third session of the Big Four conference today revealed differences of approach between the Soviet Union, and the three Western powers on German reunification.

The second day of the conference began with the first meeting this morning of the Foreign Ministers of the four powers, who prepared a four-point agenda for the meetings of the government chiefs: 1, Germany, 2, Security, 3, Disarmament, and 4, exchanges between East and West,

In the afternoon, at a meeting marked by cordiality and seeming goodwill on all sides, the Heads of Government expressed their points of view on the first point of the agenda: Germany.

The Western position was that Germany should be rapidly reunified and then permitted to choose its own alliance.

The Soviet position was that the four powers should wait until NATO itself became outmoded, following a general reconciliation and the establishment of a Euro- pean security system, and then proceed to the reunification of Germany.
