Here Is in Prospect for
World Peace Framers

BY the Associated Press.
A midsummer meeting in
Washington of American, Brit
ish, Russian and Chinese repre-
sentatives to discuss formation
of an international security Or
ganization apparently Is in the
making.
The State Department repeatedly
has. received informal assurances
that Britain and China are ready
to talk business on implementing
the Moscow pact, and a Russian
acceptance is expected as soon as
it can be. cleared through diplo-
matte channels. Andrei A. Gro
myko, the Russian Ambassador, is
returning to Moscow. and officials
here expect him to report on the
matter there.
Meanwhile, Allied diplomats ere
known to be working on an agree
ment for the handling of de-
feated Germany in the time imme-
diately to follow the fighting. While
there is no evidence here that any
early collapse of Germany is ex-
pected, the attitude Is: Be prepared
for any possibility.
May Demobilize Industry.
Terms for Germany are UNDER
stood to call for it's complete indus
trial obilization-the disman-
ting of all war plants that cannot
be devoted to peaceful production.
Plans for the big four meeting in
Washington, which President Roose-
welt has insisted cannot be classed
as a full-dress conference, are still
indefinite, but the British are re-
ported to favor conducting the pre-
liminary conversations on an am
bassadorial level.
The Moscow conference called for
