§ Mr. EdenI was able to take the opportunity of the meetings in Paris to consult with representatives of the French and U.S. Governments about the Soviet Government's recent Note, proposing a peace treaty for Germany.
M. Schuman, the United States Ambassador to France and I also discussed the matter with the German Federal Chancellor.
We found that our four Governments were in full agreement. I hope that the reply will be delivered to the Soviet Government very shortly.
§ Mr. A. Fenner BrockwayCan the right hon. Gentleman say when the terms of the reply to the Soviet Union are likely to be made public?
§ Mr. EdenI think it is right and also polite—though it is not always done—that this note should be delivered to the Soviet Government before any question of publication arises. I would rather stick to that formula.
