Differences over the proposed East
ern European security pact con-
stitute the chief stumbling block at
present IN the way of an agreement
for a general European peace plan.
Observers did not expect the confer
ees to limit their talks to this subject,
however, and thought the question of
German armament surely would come
up and that they very possibly were
also considering the matter of Sc
curity in the Far East, in which both
Russia and Great Britain are inter-
ested.
Litvinoff's thesis is that the East
and West are bound up in the matter
of peace as war, in his opinion, might
easily spread to the other half of the
world if it started In either place.
The Russians do not insist that
Great Britain pledge military aid for
the security of Eastern Europe. but
they say they want moral support
which, they declared, is to Great
Britain's interest as we'll as to that of
the other nations involved.
Eden will begin his homeward trip
Monday with visits en- route at Warsaw
and Praha.
Greeted at Frontier.
Eden and his party were greeted
last night at the frontier station of
Negoreloye by M. Weinberg, assistant
head of the third western department
