EAST-WEST MEETING DEADLOCK

Geneva, May 19.

Mr Selwyn Lloyd, British Foreign Secretary, de- nounced the Soviet draft peace treaty for Germany as an imposed "diktat" at the Big Four Foreign Ministers' Conference here today.

Neither East nor West op. parently yielded an inch in to- day's three-and-a-half hour meeting-the longest session since he conference began May 11.

The meeting was also marked by a strong attack on the 48- prticle Soviet draft by M. Meurice Couve De Murville of France, who said it would preclude unification of Germany forever and "drive the German Feople to despair."
