Outlook Is Dubious
The heart of the proposal,
Western informants said, is a
provision for the Big Four to
guarantee the existing arrange
ments on Berlin. It would limit
Western armed forces in Berlin,
put curbs on propaganda and
espionage by both sides, and
create a commission to handle
complaints under the new
agreement. The agreement
would continue in force pend
ing the reunification Of Ger
many.
Even II Mr.. Gromyko remains
as uncompromising as the allied
ministers have been led to ex-
pect, the problem of ending the
talks will not be simple. Apart
from the obvious necessity of
holding one more open confer
ence session as a public rela-
tions exercise, there is still no
agreement on what happens
after that.
The trouble lies in the fact
that at this point no one knows
what the real Russian motives
are. Having originally sold
themselves on the idea that Mr..
Gromyko would negotiate some
sort Of agreement here to as
sure a summit conference, the
Western experts are having a
hard time explaining why
things have turned out so badly.
The dominant theory is that
the Russians have deliberately
torpedoed the conference in or
der to panic the West into a
summit conference. From time
to time, Premier Khrushchev
has expounded the idea that a

would be all the more neces-
sary II the ministers. as he
