At Moscow Parley

Foreign Secretary Believes Plan Would Prevent| Recurrence of ‘Aggression in Europe’ LONDON, Feb. 27 (U. P.).—Britain will seek approval

at the Moscow conference of

four-power agreement “for the purpose of preventing a recurrence of aggression in Europe,” Foreign Secretary Ernest

Bévin said today. “I think it is a very great have taken this vital interest in the preservation of the peace in Europe,” Mr. Bevin said. The Byrnes proposal, advanced while he was secretary of state, ealled for a four-power treaty governing the disarmament and demilitarization of Germany. Russia criticized the suggestion. Mr. Bevin said Britain soon would submit proposals to Russia for revision of the Anglo-Soviet treaty— a 20-year pact against aggression. He told the house that Russian proposals for revision had been received, but did not discuss their nature. Cordial Relations

“We entirely agree that it would be a good thing to get rid of the out of date features of the treaty,” he said. He added that he was “extremely glad of the desires shown to prolong the alliance on & new basis of close and cordial relations between the two countries.” He said Anglo-French treaty negotiations also were making sptisfactory progress, and “I hope these negotiations will be completed in the very near future.” . In presenting his proposal during the course of a defense of the goyermment’s foreign policy before commons, Mr. Bevin took occasion to emphasize “that on all questions our relations with the United States are of a most cordial character.” Reply to Challenge This statement was in reply to President Truman's sharp challenge of Mr. Bevin's effort to blame the White, House for the failure of his Palestine negotiations. He added—mentioning Palestine

low any wedge to be driven between our two countries.” Mr. Bevin said that it was “a great thing that the United States has taken this vital interest in the preservation of peace in Europe.” Stands by Itself Mr. Bevin said that while “there may have been some misunderstanding” over his: criticism of President Truman this was a “matter which stands by itself.” It will not affect the general warmth of Anglo-American relations, he said. Mr. Bevin said the resurgence of Nazism in Germany was one of the great threats facing Europe. He expressed hope that the four-power discussions at Moscow might meet this threat. : “We see a good deal going on in Germany even now,” he said, *“which makes us exercise considerable care to prevent the resurgence of Nazism. You have had evidence of this only this past week. “One thing is absolutely essential. If we are to contain Germany again and have sufficient “time to re-educate her on a democratic basis we must somehow try to get agreement between the four great powers. There is no other way.”

Ramadier Reveals 3-Nation Talks

“Aim to Hedge In German Aggression

PARIS, Feb. 27 (U. P.). — The European three of the Big Four were revealed today to be negotiating toward a triple alliance which would hedge in Germany. Meanwhile, at London, Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin said he would support at the conference the Byrnes plea for a Big Four alliance to forstall aggression in Europe. In effect, Mr. Bevin's proposal would add the United States to the three-power lineup. . . Would Mean Germany The only potential aggressor outside the Big Four would be Germany, which twice in this generation has plunged the world into war, A little earlier French Premier Paul Ramadier revealed that negotiations among France, Britain and Russia were expected to join in a solid alliance “in the very near future.” Premier Ramadier disclosed for the first time at a press conference that the negotiations among the Russians, British and French were interwoven into a single fabric. Talked Secretly Before The three nations were known to have been negotiating secretly. Hitherto the only clearcut objectives were an Anglo-French alliance and a revision of the Anglo-Soviet treaty. Mr. Ramadier said the prospective successful outcome of the negotiations now going on among the three promised an excellent atmosphere for the opening of the Big Four conference in Moscow two weeks hence.

The evidence consisted of testimony by Floyd Lucia, Milwaukee, a member of Local 248 of the United Automobile Workers (C. I 0.), and a photostat presented by Committee Investigator Robert Strippling. Among other things, Mr, Lucia told the committee that his local— which he said was -Communistdominated—sent President Truman a telegram asking him to turn over U. S. atomic bomb secrets to Soviet Russia. Names Lead List

Mr. Stripling’s evidence was a photostatic copy of a Communist petition urging election of Sigmund Eisenscher in the Wisconsin 1946 gubernatorial election. The first two names on the petition were Arnie Hansen and Joseph Donbeck. They were identifled by Mr. Lucia as C. I.

Both the governor and Rep. George Henley (R. Bloomington), house Republicans that the liquor-politics issue was a platform pledge. Both let the legislators draw their own conclusions from those remarks and there was no open debate. The governor stated flatly that he had no objection to the two controversial amendments which are reported to be killing the bill and said it was his bill with or without them. Also discussed at the caucus was what is at the moment the most controversial labor bill of the session—the bill to outlaw strikes in public utilities. The G. O.
