created by Big -Four agreement.

The Foreign Ministers, including
V. M. Molotov OF Russia, said the
government in Germany should be
made up of representatives of demo-

should guarantee against any more
German aggression.

vakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania
and Yugoslavia. Russia and Poland

bourg. The six Western nations
agreed to set up a federal govern
ment in Western Germany.
lWell-informed sources said some
in the Warsaw meeting wanted to
counter this with an Eastern Ger

agreed upon one more try for Ger
man unity. They said If this failed
the Soviet bloc would create sep
arate East German government.

Mr.. Molotov a rousing sendof today
on his return trip to Moscow.

highway to the airport was jammed
for miles with truckloads of demon
strators, many carrying red banners.

were scheduled to leave Warsaw
by air this morning.
