Saar Valley Obtains
It's Autonomy Under
French Aeqis Monday
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 3O.-The Saar
takes it's place as a nation on
the map of Europe Monday.
Often political stepchildren of
one or another of their neigh
bors, the rich Saar Valleys l mil
lion German-speaking citizens
emerge on New Years Day as an
most-but-not-quite independ
ent, sovereign people.
France is to be a "big brother
to the country for the next Sc
years, handling its foreign af-
fairs. protecting its borders and
more important-mining its coal
The Saar bought her near
sovereignty with coal. The mines
now producing Is million tons oi
high grade fuel a year, are to be
exploited by French concession
until the year 2001, and then
handed over to the Saar, along
with full independence.
Pact Signed Last March.
The nation was created in a
document signed by France and
the Saar in the French Foreign
Ministry last March 3, to become
effective January l. 1851.
The document, called Gen
eral Convention" is subject to a
final peace treaty with Germany
of which the Saar was a part for
a decade before the Allied victory
in World War II. Both the
French and the Saar governments
are confident such a peace treaty
will approve the convention
though West German officials
have declared the change should
be subject to a plebiscite.
When the Allies defeated Hit
ler, the Saar was put into
French-occupied Germany. France
promptly separated the valley
from the rest of her occupation
territory and created what she
called a special entity" with a
constitution and parliament.
With the approval of the Big
-Four in Moscow in April, 1947,
France linked this entity to her
own economy, in the same way
the Duchy of Luxembourg is
linked to Belgium.
In Council of Europe.
Under the guidance of France,
the Sarr already has taken a seat
at one international fireside. The
little government was made an
associate member of the Council
of Europe, on the same terms as
the Federal Republic of West
Germany.
A 40-member Parliament runs
the Saar. headed by portly,
affable Johannes Hoffman as
premier.
Most of the Saar coal is chan
neled into France, where it melts
the iron ore mined in the French
Department of Moselle, just across
the Saar border.
In addition, the Saar has steel
mills producing nearly 2 million
tons year and machine tool and
ceramics industries.

want to promise Red China po-
litical settlement of Far Eastern
problems in return for a Korean
cease-fire.
No reason was given for the
sudden cancellation except that
it was for "procedural reasons y
A spokesman said the group
might meet tomorrow or Monday
morning.
Speculation Immediately arose
that Rau-prime mover of the
mediation effort-was engaged in
top secret negotiations with the
parties principally concerned, the
United States and Communist
China. 1t is known that he has
been striving to find some mutu-
ally agreeable basis for consulta-
tions between the two.
The gulf between the two, at
present, is wide, but the Indian
diplomat has steadfastly main
tanned that it can be bridged.
Ambassador Ernest A. Gross,
deputy American delegate to the
United Nations, revealed in Wash
ington yesterday that this country
would not be averse to talks with
the Chinese Communists provided
they first withdrew from Korea.
The Red Peiping regime has
demanded. on the other hand,
that the talks come first and the
Korean truce afterwards.
Rau, it is believed, is urging that
both things be done simultane-
ously-that is, the Chinese agree
to a cease-fire in Korea and the
United States to an immediate
conference on Pacific problems.
The II countries involved in the
mediation effort are Afghanistan,
Burma. Egypt. India, Indonesia,
Iran. Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan,
Saudi Arabia. Syria and Yemen.
The points of view they are trying
to reconcile are:
/. Communist China - with
drawal of U. N. troops from Korea
and the United States 7th Fleet
