text last night. In effect, the
note laid down these pre-condi-
tions for any four-power confer
ence al Germany:
/. Admission of Red China into
the United Nations to occupy
the Security Council seat now
held by Chang Kai-shek's Ma
tionalist government.
2. Scrapping of the European
Defense Community for inte-
grating German units into a six
nation Western European de-
fense force.
3. Virtual diSmantlement of
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganiZation through scrapping of
the NATO structure.
Even then, the Russians would
insist on tackling the German
uniflcation problem in exactly
the reverse sequence of that ac-
ceptable to the West. The Rus
slams want first to negotiate a
German peace treaty, then set
up an alderman government
and leave free elections through
out all Germany to the last. The
West insists on free elections
in the Soviet Eastern Zone as
we'll as Western Germany as a
necessary preliminary to unfit
cation of the rest of the country.
President Eisenhower summed
up the American reaction yes
terday by saying The Soviet
note manifeStS no intention to
get together but intention to
create as many difficulties as
possible"
Considerable significance was
attached here to the Soviet pre-
occupation with the place of
Communist China in world af-
fairs. American officials saw this
as an effort to maintain the So
Wet position in the Far East
and guard against possible de-
velopment of Titoism in Peip-
ing.
Red China in U. N.
The Soviet note emphasized
that easing of world tension
depends to great extent" on
"re-establishment of China's
legitimate rights in the u NJ
meaning substitution of Red
Chinese for Nationalist Chinese
representatives.
AS a counter proposal for the
Western bid to a four-poWer
meeting on Germany. the Rus
slams proposed foreign min
listers conference.
l. ITO examine measures for
the reduction of tension in inter-
national relations" with par.
ticipation of the United States,
Britain. France, Communist
China and the Soviet.
2. ITO consider the German
question, including all the pros
posals advanced during the
course of preparations for the
conference" with the participa-
ton of the United States, Brit
ain, France and the Soviet.
The Russians .relegated the
question of an independence
treaty for Austria to what Off
cials here called the sub-base-
ment." They insisted the Aus
trian matter be handled through
normal diplomatic channels in
stead of in a conference.
Ratification of the European
Defense Community Treaty, the
Soviet note said fatty. would
make impossible the restoration
of Germany as a unified state
and thereby also render point
less" any four-power conference
on Germany.
Hits L. ). Base Program
The note complained at length
about what is called the over
widening network of American
military bases in Spain, Greece,
England, France. Italy, Turkey,
Norway" and other countries
near the Soviet and it's satellites.
1t said it would be impossible
to consider the German problem
independent of" these NATO
bases. 1t said a German settle
ment is "ineXtricably bound up"
with liquidation of these bases.
The Soviet note said it would
be impossible" for Russia to
take part in the projected Ko-
rean conference except as
neutral. The United Nations has
left the door for Soviet partici-
patton only on the Communist
side.
Furthermore, the Soviet note
