West Conferees Study
z Proposals for PACT
With j. ). and Canada
BY the Assoeiassd Press

LONDON, Nov. i3.-Representa-
lives of the FIVE nations allied in
the Western European Union studied
at least two proposals here today
for a military pact with the United
States and Canada.
The problem of the conferees-
Britain, France, the Netherlands,
Belgium and Luxembourg-was te
frame a draft which the United
States, traditionally cold to military
alliances, would find acceptable.
The first meeting yesterday was
secret, but in Paris a French For
eign Ministry spokesman said plans
for the seven-nation alliance had
been offered by France and Bel
giunl.
He said other members of the un-
ion might have submitted their sug-
gestions, but he was not certain
Iof it.
No comment was made at the
meeting here on report that the
French had suggested a 50-year al
lance calling for military help in
case of an attack by any other ma
ton.
The meeting coincided with the
arrival in London of Defense Secre-
tary Forrestal. He drove directly
from the airport to a meeting with
Prime Minister Clement Attlee He
also met with British and American
military and naval officials.
Mr.. Forrestal planned to meet to-
day with Britain's Minister of De-
fense, A. v. Alexander. Later in
the day he is scheduled to fly to
Berlin for conferences with Gen.
Lucius D. Clay, American military
governor in Germany, and Walter
Bedell Smith, United States Am
