BIG FlVE.TALKS
BALKAN TREATIES

LONDON, Sept. 81 - @ - The
Big Five Council of Foreign Minis
tiers discussed the Balkan peace
treaties on a purely technical basis
today, skirting political considera-
tons upon which there is disagree
ment between the Russians and the
British and Americans.
A source close to the Council SAID
the ministers we're making falr
progress on the technical structure
for the Romanian peace pact. He
emphasized that the core of the
issue-the British and American
insistence on reconstruction Of the
Balkan governments on more DEM
ocratic lines - was avoided thus
far in formal talks.
The Big Five discussed the Ro-
manian peace treaty in the morn
ing, and this afternoon considered
the drafting Of pact with Bulgar-
ia. A Soviet memorandum was u.s.
ed as a basis for discussing the
Bulgarian treaty, with attention
turned also the U. S. and British
proposals, a communique said.
Indications grew that the peace
pacts might be headed for the
Council of Deputies. Two other
vital issues, Italian colonies and

The fact that the Brunswick

after the last big flood which was

Normally an increase OF four or

dissipated to a mere four or five
