June 21 UP) France has proposed that the western pow ers declare an end to the war with western Germany, a French foreign office spokesman an nounced today. The French, who have sent a memorandum to the United States and Britain on the sub ject, will raise the question at an inter-allied meeting July 3 to study ways of giving western Germany more freedom short of a peace treaty. France proposes that the three powers individually, issue dec larations stating that from their points of view there is no long er a state of war with the peo ple of west Germany This would not affect allied supervision of the Bonn government or the status of the occupation. This is not intended to be a separate treaty, the spokesman said, but an interim arrange ment pending a final treaty. It would enable Germans to travel or work abroad more easily.
