The West will tell Mr V. M. Molotov today that unless he modifies his European security plan to permit Germany to be reunited, it will not even consider his projected 16-nation anti-aggression treaty.
The Western foreign ministers, Mr Harold Macmillan, Britain, M. Antoine Pinay, France, and Mr John Foster Dulles, United States, will again insist that German reunification must take place' before European peace can be secured through a pact.
