Foreign Ministers
PLANS FOR TALKS COMPLETED
LONDON, September 11.
The Council of Foreign Ministers of Great Britain, Russia, the United States, France, and China held its first meeting in London this afternoon. Mr. Ernest Bevin presided.
A Foreign' Office statement tonight said that it was agreed that each of the Foreign Secretaries should preside in turn at subsequent meetings, with Mr. Molotov taking the chair tomorrow. It was also decided that the Foreign Ministers should meet in the afternoon and that their deputies should meet in the mornings to deal with such matters as were referred to them and to prepare the agenda for the plenary meetings.
It has been agreed to proceed first with the discussion of the questions referred to the Council by the Berlin Conference, though the agenda has been left open so that other items might be added, as desired, as the meetings of the Council proceed. When the Big Three met in Berlin it was decided that the first task for the Council of Foreign Ministers should be to draft peace treaties with Italy, Finland, Rumania, and Bulgaria.
The Foreign Office says that further information about the Council's work will be issued from time to time. .
