Russia charged last night that the United States is leading a plot to split Europe and build up Germany's militia "for the purpose of aggression against the USSR." A Soviet note to America, Britain, and France and the major Western powers are deliberately trying to liquidate the four-power Council of Foreign Ministers...

The split along the North-South lines over NSA's position in regard to partisan politics appeared to be the cause of the stalemate that prevented the conference from being effective. Actually the squabbling arose only out of the real point of failure: lack of organization...
