Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

Glad of your urgent appreciation of likely moves by United
Kingdom, United States and France in regard to Germany now that
CFM has adjourned. In particular, we would like to know United
Kingdom views on establishment of government for Western Germany
and signing of separate peace treaty with such a government. In
any event we would, of course, expect that no decisions would be
made on a two or three-power basis which should be for decision by
wider conference of belligerents.
