' Bonn, Germany (U.R) West
German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer today assured the
United States and the Western
Allies that West Germany will
stand solidly with them.
He said he was willing to at
tend a top level conference with
the Soviet Union under proper
circumstances, but he added
with great determination:
"One thing is certain: We will
faithfully observe the obliga
tions taken up under the treaties
with the West.
"On the other hand, we would
he pleased 'if a contribution to
the reduction of world tension
could be achieved by an ex
change of views with the So
viets." Adenauer received me in the
same carpet-covered office
where I met him three years
ago. He said that a meeting such
as the one proposed ! by Russia
must be preceded by an ex
change of views with the Soviet
Union.
'Take Some Time'
He said that his government's
reply to the Kremlin s bomb
shell note of Tuesday, inviting
Western Germany to establish
full diplomatic relations with
Russia and calling for a confer
ence with the 79-year-old chan
cellor, would "take some time."
. "Several questions will have
to be clarified first," he said.
Recalling that the Soviet note
spoke of diplomatic, cultural
and trade relations with Ger
many, Adenauer said:
"We must first have an ex
change of , views with the Soviet
Union on these questions before
I can go to meet them.
"For that reason there will
be no immediate German-Russian
conference." ' '
I asked the chancellor
whether he would go to Moscow
himself or whether he would
prefer to meet the Russian lead
ers in Bonn or in a neutral place
like Geneva.
Technical Question
He leaned back and smiled
"That is a technical question,
and of no great importance"
obviously implying that he
would not refuse to travel to
Russia if a conference, is held.
" He said he would explain his
position in full to. President
Eisenhower and British Prime
Minister Sir Anthbny Eden
when he meets both next week
if he was asked to explain by
the two Western statesmen.
"I do not know what questions
they will ask me, but if they
want to talk about this subject,
I will certainly do so," hq said.
"A reply to the Soviet Un
ion, however, requires the prior
clarification of a number of
question," he explained, because
the Soviet note's reference to
establishment of normal rela
tions with Western Germany
was "too general."
Prophetic Statement
Adenauer spoke of the new
Soviet move when I read to him
a statement which he made to
me three years ago, a statement
which already seems prophetic.
On Oct. 2, 1952, the German
chancellor told the United Press:
"I'am firmly convinced that
(the late Soviet Premier Josef
Stalin) once the West has un
ited and the Atlantic commun
ity becomes strong enough re
alizes that the cold war does not
pay in the long run. Then he
(Stalin) will be prepared to ne
gotiate. If we continue our way
followed during the past two
years, then I am convinced that
the day for such negotiations of
the West with Moscow is not far
away."
Adenauer recalled having
made this statement and said
that "every word pf it is still
true."
The West German cabinet, in
a statement issued following a
meeting earlier Wednesday, had
already said that if the Russian
invitation were accepted, Ger
many would proceed only in
consultation with her allies.
Supports Eisenhower'. Remark
He supported President Eisen
hower's remark Wednesday that
a four-power meeting with Rus
sia could serve as a means for
establishing peace in the world
He said he was in full agree
ment with Mr. Eisenhower that
Germany would stand by her
treaties with the west.
Commenting on world poli
tics and the forthcoming meeting
of the Western Big Three with
the Russians, Adenauer made
these observations:
The United States and Soviet
Russia should get together and
agree on a formula for control
led world disarmament. The
United States, he said, should
take the lead in the drive along
the lines of Eisenhower's propos
al of March 1953.
Other Settlements
2. This Big Two agreement
on disarmament would pave the
way for a settlement for -other
problems like security and Ger
many: "
3. The forthcoming four -power
meeting will probably last
long and require a lot of patience
on the part of both the partici
pants of the conference and the
public. . But the conference as
such is already an element of
relaxation of tension, he said.

ion and its scheme for controlled
limited armament and mutual
assistance is an excellent pat
tern for a European security sys
tem. 5. Germany's reunification is

Calls on American!
Adenauer called on the Am
erican public not to believe that
the Atlantic and the Pacific
fronts were different and could
be looked upon differently.
"Quite on the contrary: They
are like communicating pipes
li you weaken the European
front, the enemy (which is the
same on both fronts) will show
up stronger in the Asiatic theat
er," Adenauer said.
The chancellor smiled proud
ly when I commented on the
great reconstruction and t h
general progress which had been
made by Germany since our last
talk. He seemed especially pleas
ed that I had flown on the n7
German airline which promises
sim another link between Ger
many and the United States.
He said he regarded thp Mum
of Lufthansa to the air as a sym
bol of his country's continued
progress.

Firemen today again warned
motorists not to till their gaso

They pointed out that gasoline
in auto tanks expands in the

Only practical solution, fire

not to fill their tanks over the
