Soviet Bid Said To Wreck West Defenses in Kremlin Drive
Soviet move to push a Big Four foreign ministers meeting is viewed as part of a broader Kremlin effort to undermine Western defenses and American leadership. Britain and France back the United States as three power talks in London begin to shape a Western response. Officials expect further Soviet steps to appeal to Western Europe, possibly targeting West German rearmament, with no overall European security system proposed as an alternative to the European Defense Community. President Eisenhower warned of Kremlin propaganda and subversion while noting US must counter Soviet efforts with imaginative measures. Russian ambassadors in Paris London and Washington delivered notes proposing a Big Four ministers meeting in August or September to discuss a wider European security conference and German issues.
