Stalin would remove restric-1 tions against communication with! Berlin if the western powers I would postpone establishment of a separate west German state. This postponement would be to enable the big four foreign ministers council to try again to consider the German problem as a whole. Stalin said removal of all restrictions imposed by our side against the Russian zone of Germany would have to be part of such a deal. The response to a question whether Stalin would be willing j to confer with President Truman at some mutually acceptable spot was: "I have al'eady stated before that there is no objection to such I a meeting.” I Mr. Truman already has stated several times that he would object to a meeting anywhere but In Washington. Less publicity he has said he does not like the | heads-of-state system of dealing with world problems at all. His plan is to deal through the United Nations and our own state department and by collective action among other democratic states as is provided by the UN charter.
