GERMAN UNITY
Ministers To Meet
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Foreign ministers of the United States, Britain, France and West Germany will meet next month to try to work out a new approach to Russia on the unification of Germany. The meeting was announced by United States Secretary of State (Mr Rusk) at the White House after he and the United States Secretary of Defence (Mr McNamara) had reported to President Johnson on last week’s talks among allied foregn and defence ministers in Paris. Administration officials are reported to be hopeful the discussions will lead to an easing of differences between France and other North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies. Mr Rusk said of the meeting on German reunification that the four foreign ministers had agreed in Paris they should explore the possibilities of “some further initiative” with the Russians on this issue. At the same time, Mr Rusk said there has been no indication of an active Soviet interest in trying to settle the problems of the division of Germany.
