Peace Feeler

Continued from Page Onel
American governments that the
Germans were being told Britain
would agree TO nothing less than
unconditional surrender.
II is for this reason that the
British view the recent Pravda
separate peace accusation against
Britain as completely unjustified
and unfair.
Well informed diplomatic sources
also discount the theory that the
Moscow accusation might have been
prompted by Soviet fears that
Germany might maneuver the Brit
ish and Americans into a position
where they would occupy Germany
before the Russians get there.
There has been persistent re-
ports in neutral European capitals
that the Germans would deliberate
" "cave-in" before the Anglo
American invading armies in west
ern Europe. thus enabling them
to occupy Germany first and save
the Germans from Soviet reprisals.
These reports are believed to
have been inspired by the Nazis
in the hope OF sowing dissension
between Russia and her two lead
ing western Allies, Britain and the
United States.
However, diplomatic sources re-
vealed that Moscow was no tusti-
fication for placing any credence
in these reports for the following
reason:
Great Britain, the United States
and Russia are now actively on
gagged in drafting definite plans for
the Joint Anglo-American-Soyiet oc-
cupation of Germany. These plans
call for Soviet occupation OF part
of Germany irrespective OF who
gets there first.
Under these circumstances, the
view prevails In certain respon'
slble diplomatic quarters that Mos
COW must have had some other mo-
tive than the peace scare for the
accusation against Great Britain.
Since one of the main effects OF
the Pravda accusation has been to
arouse among the Russian people
suspicion and distrust OF Britain.
Il is feared this may have been
the deliberate purpose.
