European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 03, 1948, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The East West dilemma continued rom Page 11 on the text set the condition and stuck to it solidly that if i should come to Moscow the treaty must be signed on that  British government and Eden personally nevertheless Drew fro this discussion the conclusion that there were considerable uncertainties and differences of opinion Between London an Moscow if not potential conflicts in their Mutual policy after the War an that these differences appeared very. Clearly in the background of our  became convinced that these differences should be investigated an that it would be Worth while to teach Unity of opinion on the Basic questions of War and peace among All three Powers great Britain the unite states and the soviet Union. It was thus. I believe that there arose the idea of calling the Moscow conference of the three Allied foreign ministers in october 1943, immediately supplemented by the Teheran n conference Between Roosevelt Churchill and Stalin in no vember and december of the same year. At the Teheran conference there appeared the first attempts to establish military and thus at the same time political spheres of influence for both the Eastern and the Western fronts. The soviet Union declared that in its zone it counted North cast Germany and the whole of Poland Czechoslovakia Romania and Hungary. There was apparently no objection from the British or americans to this. But nothing was said to us of these plans, from the soviet Side or from the Western Powers. We discovered the contents of these decisions Only during the slovak uprising september october 1944when we encountered certain difficulties in obtaining Aid from the British and  think i am not mistaken in saying that the Moscow conference was directly evoked or at least hastened by the negotiations on our treaty wit Moscow. In any event during our discussions in August and september 1943in London. Eden insisted that i should not go to Moscow until after the meeting of the three ministers Hull Molotov and Eden who were expected to meet very soon. At this meeting he said All the questions of Mutual collaboration among the three Powers would be so clarified that nothing further would stand in the Way of our treaty. I agreed with this procedure and declared that after the conference of the three ministers i would go to Moscow in any event and would there approve and sign the treaty Between us and the soviet Union. At the same time i insisted in Moscow that the commissar for foreign affairs or. Molotov should inform the representatives of the United. States and great Britain of the agreed text of our treaty. Molotov did so and Long sea trip. On the Way they face unto a series of adventures like real sea dogs. Weekend april 3, 1948
