ence as advisers to Byrnes.
Molotov, French Foreign Minis
ter Georges Bidault and british
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevir
were said to have asked time tt
study Brynes' proposal for a Ger
man peace conference, and it was
expected the matter would be dis
cussed further Thursday.
Brings Clash
Brynes' proposal was made in {
conference session devoted entirely
to German problems, during which
France repeated her demands fol
severance of the Ruhr and Rhine
land, and for French control of the
Saar. The discussion also brought
a clash between Bevin and Molo-
TOW on British occupation policies
in the Ruhr.
Byrnes urged that the represen.

eign Ministers at their next meet
ing - perhaps June is - on the
economic status of Germany. He
warned that the present economic
situation in the defeated nation
if continued, would result in chaos
in the western occupation zones by
winter.
Major Points
American sources said Byrnes
listed for consideration in the
drafting of a German treaty these
major points:
1.-The question of German in
dustry.
1.-THE dismantling of factories
S.-The possibility Of interna,
tionalization OF the Ruhr and the
Rhineland, a proposal being urged
by the French.
4.-The question whether the
Ruhr's industrial output should gc
to Germany in full or only enough
to meet her minimum require.
ments, with the remainder con
sidered available for export tc
pay for German imports.
5.-The final limits Of western
German frontiers.
