Nationalisation Standstill Likely: Internal Clash

London, May 14.-Chiefs of the Labour Party, meeting in secret near London next week-end, will consider a proposal that all nationalisation-ex- cept iron and steel-should be dropped from their next general election programme.

The conference will fix provisional timing of the election which may be this autumn, and the broad lines of the programme which will be fought.

Momentous Decision On Germany Announced By Big Three Ministers

London, May 14.-The Foreign Minis- ters of Britain, the United States and France announced tonight that they are going ahead with plans to bring Germany as rapid- ly as possible back into the European com- munity.

despite the gravity of the Soviet menace and the increasing Soviet provocations, the most important aspect of the polley essential proposed is and remains its peacefulness and renunciation of force except in self-defence. Indeed, it again emphasises that we shall make no attempt to undermine Sariel independence, and thint we shall continue to search for common ground of agreement with the Soviets, both within the United Nations and through other channels. This is in effect another forceful refutation of the Soviet campaign of vilification and another challenge to the Soviets to make good on their "peace ofensive" by matching their words with deeds. But the Big Three make it clear beyond the passi- bility of misunderstanding

that they cannot come to any agreement with the Soviets as long as they try to eliminate the Western democracy altogether, or to undermine by hook or crook the free countries of the world along the tried pattern of "one by one." And that state- ment must be read in the light of Mr Acheson's Berkeley speech, in which he laid down the terms of any peace which can be accepted-terins which include the conclusion of peace with a free Germany and Japan and the withdrawal of Soviet milllary and police forces from the coun. tries they now hold in subjection, Barring the unlikely eventuality of Soviet accep- tance of these terms, there offers no other alternative except to continue waging "iotal diplomacy" based on the reassertion of faith in freedom.
