Adenauer, or other German leaders would attend the Brus- sels talks, said: "There is no reason why the Germans should have been brought in at this stage.

"Our problem is to get the 12 European countries to reach a common agreement on the basis for German participation, It will now presumably be up to the High Commissioners to present this programme to the Bonn Government as a frame- work for German participation." The spokesman described the latest Russian notes to Britain and France, protesting against German rearmament, as "normal tactics for the Russians to adopt to try to divide, frighten and paralyse any attempt to work out a defensive union for the West."

He said there has been a "deterioration in the German attitude during the past month.”
