Reds To Offer New Plan For European Peace
In Berlin Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov opened the Big Four talks with a vow to submit a new German and European security proposal later this week. He attacked the EDC and a European army, pressed for a four power conference with China, and showed no details of his plan. The four powers aim to address the Austrian independence treaty by Friday, but prospects for a major breakthrough remain dim.
