House announcement-made SIM
ultaneously in London and Moscow
said the conference began with
military discussions and has ex-
tended through problems of peace,
including "joint plans for the occu-
patton and control of Germany"
Also under discussion were "the
political and economic problems of
liberated Europe and proposals for
the earliest possible establishment
of a permanent international Or
ganization to maintain peace" the
White House said.
It mace clear that the three
leaders. their chiefs Of staff, for
eign secretaries, and other advisors
are still in session.
ALREADY GUESSED
The statement actually contained
little that the world had not known
or guessed in recent days.
The meeting place "in the Black
Sea area" had been printed and
broadcast widely from Europe. but
American censorship prohibited stor-
les to this effect in this country
unless they came from or were
attributed to foreign sources.
This also was the first official
word that the President was out
of the country. His absence, how
ever, was plainly evident from his
failure to hold regular news con-
ferences and the fact that he miss
ed his own birthday party on jan
uary 30.

Frances RhineIund Plans
Stirs LoWIund Nations

France does not want to annex
either the Rhineland or the Ruhr,
OF all of the Saar, since the French
are not anxious to be burdened with
a hostile German population inside
their own political frontiers.
French spokesmen feel that am
putation of the Rhineland from
the rest of Germany would be equal
ly effective, without involving
France in chronic minority prob
lem. The frontiers of the proposed
autonomous state, as envisaged by
the French, would extend some 20
to 80 miles east of the Rhine to
provide an effective defense buffer
for France.
It was expected that all these
proposals would be discussed by
French leaders with representatives
of the United States, Great Britain,
and Russia at later date, although
no time or place for the meeting
has yet been arranged.
