Big Three Differences On Germany To Be Cleared

Up

Bonn, Sept. 17.

West German politicians hope that the ex- pected "Big Three" Western Foreign Ministers' meeting on Tuesday in New York will reach a decision on Germany's security which will clear up the confusion caused by recent press reports.

Politicians and officials here believe that the Foreign Ministers differ on the subject of security but that the secrecy over the negotiations has magnified their lack of agreement.

Mr Dean Acheron's proposal, svan accepted as an equal part- for a combined European de-ner by the Westem nations.- fence. including Germany, Reuter,

Germans considered this a eleor lead to the other Alles. Reports of all alleged tuggestion by the French Foreign Minister, M. Robert Schuman, that Ge:- man troops should be confined to services to the rear and be armed with spades have caused great bitterness here.

"Germana would never can- sent to the idea that they should be confined to coolie battalions," one official stated. This strod- point was underlined by Dr Kurt Schumacher, the Social Democrat leader, who saki ni Stuttgart yesterday that w are prepared to bear arms niniu, provided the Western Allies take over with 1 tho sar risks and the same chance of resisting # Soviet tlack, And if they establish themselver the river Elbe with the greatest possible strength."
