Frankfurt, Feb. 3. The negotiations between the Bri- tlah, American and French authorities on the future struc ture of the projected West German Federal Bank are re- garded by responsible German politicians here as the chief reason for the delay in the proclamation of the "Frankfurt Charter."

The general scheme for the de- velopment of tri-zonal co-operation to be disused at the London three- power conference in a fortnight's time, is believed to be not to hasten a full merger of the French zone with the Anglo-Amerelan bi-zone, hi to effect a grand removal of turriers and assimilation of the
