Big Four To Meet in Moscow for German peace talks
The Big Four foreign ministers agreed to hold a Moscow conference starting March 16 to discuss German settlement progress. United States Secretary Byrnes and British Foreign Secretary Bevin urged deputy ministers to hear smaller nations’ views before the Moscow meeting. Molotov signaled openness to appoint deputies to refine German and Austrian terms prior to New York. Meanwhile, U.S. and Soviet disputes over arms inspection and control blocs delayed a disarmament resolution, with Britain possibly losing its right to a troop inventory inspection board. Belgium proposed all UN members recall ambassadors from Franco Spain. Canada supported the proposal amid the debate.
