Anthony Eden and French
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault
at their sessions in the British
Foreign Office on pressing world
problems.
A high diplomatic sourSe said
Mr.. Dulles did not rule out the
possibility of a top level East
West meeting eventually, but
said it must be preceded by a
parley of the foreign ministers
of the governments concerned.
Their job would be to do the
spadework to insure that the
subsequent meeting would get
maximum results.
The American position ap-
peared directly opposed to Mr..
Churchill's idea for an informal
meeting without agenda, where
the government leaders could get
together without large groups
of attending officials.
Discussion Summarized.
BY the account of high dip
lomatic source:
The question of the East-West
meeting was brought up by Mr..
Eden, acting as chairman OF the
session.
When he asked Mr.. Dulles and
Mr.. Bidault for their ideas, Mr..
Dulles said President Eisenhower
was in no position to spend long
periods of time outside his coun-
try. Mr.. Dulles felt any such
conference would be long. He
said the foreign ministers should
meet first to cut down the time
eventual top level talks would
require.
MIR. Bidault told his colleagues
that some deciSion-one way or
the other-should be reached
soon. He said the longer the de-
cision is held off the more diff
cult it will be for France to rati-
fy the six-nation European De-
fense Community project calling
for a continental army includ-
ing West German troops.
Churchill to Entertain.
Mr.. Churchill will have an op-
portunity tomorrow to present
his case personally.
He will entertain the foreign
ministers at lunch right after
their final session and undoubt-
edly will try to bring all the
Churchillian persuasiveneSs to
bear on Mr.. Dulles.
Meantime Mr.. Eden late to-
night Unexpectedly summoned
Yugoslav Ambassador Vladimir
Velebit and Italian Ambassador
Manlio BroSio to inform them
of the ministers discussions on
the explosive Trieste situation.
The informed source indicated
Mr.. Eden apparently stressed
that the ministers were agreed
to stick by the decision of the
United States and Britain to
withdraw their troops from Tri-
estes Zone A and turn it over
to Italy.
He also indicated that the
three ministers discussed today
the possibility of a conference
on Trieste among Yugoslavia,
Italy, Britain, France and the
United States.
No Conclusions Reached.
No definite conclusions were
made on either the East~West
talks or the Tresite Problem, the
source stated.
In their busy day the three
ministers also finally agreed on
terms of a new Western note to
be send to the Russians inviting
them to attend a Big Four
foreign ministers conference on
Germany and Austria at Lugano,
Switzerland, about November 8.
The note was reported to con-
tain an offer to enter into dis
cussions of security guarantees
with the Russians as part of a
final German peace settlement.
The three foreign ministers
also discussed Far Eastern af-
fairs, including the stalemated
Korean peace conference and the
French war against Communist
led rebels in Indo-China.
