Britain Agrees

Ia AtdAA 1A6ANCS
Great Britain has agreed to
the United States draft of the
German treaty in principle, Byrnes
disclosed. Both reserved the right
to discuss its details later.
Russia said she had some OBJ
jections" to the German treaty but
was willing to discuss it, he added.
Byrnes made his announcement
at press conference after four
hour meeting of the foreign minis
ters-the longest since the confer
ence started last Thursday.
Byrnes empha sized his belief
that something must be done at
once with Germany and its 00,000,-
900 hungry, complaining people.
q. S. Taking Lead
Byrnes said the United States
was taking the lead in treaty-mak-
ing to prove to the world it was not
repeating mistakes made after
World War I-when America made
a separate treaty with Germany
by refusing to take part in world
affairs. -
He said he had told Russian
Foreign Minister Viacheslav Molo-
tov and British Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin that the United States
realized its failure to recognize its
obligations in Europe and to insist
on Germany's disarmament had
contributed to German rearma-
ment and World War II.
The United States had deter
mined now that there should be
no recurrence, Byrnes said.
The proposed German treaty fol
lows closely the agreement reach
ed June S, 1915, by military chief
tains of the Big Powers with only
few variations, Byrnes said.
He said also that Premier josef
Stain of Russia personally assured
him hearty support of a peace
treaty with Germany at the for
eign ministerial conference in Mos
COW last December.

day afforded an opportunity to all
clashing views within the govern

of Agriculture Anderson has been
willing to take.
Other Conferees

has jurisdiction over occupation
forces in Germany and Japan, and
John L. Sullivan, assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy.
