THIRD MEETING WITH MOLOTOV
LONDON, Mon. (10 a.m.). —The envoys of Britain, France, and the United States, saw M. Molotov at the Kremlin this afternoon and had a three-hour discussion with him.
The Western envoys received instructions from their Governments during the week-end and they conferred for over an hour at the United States Embassy this morning.
After leaving M. Molotov, the envoys drove to the British Embassy to discuss privately their intended reports of the conference.
The British representative (MiFrank Roberts), before entering the Embassy, said: “We had a talk with M. Molotov and that is all. M. Smirnov was also present.” The envoys would not say whether this would be the last meeting with M. Molotov.
The Moscow correspondent of the Associated Press quotes informed sources as saying earlier that today’s meeting would be the most important of the three so far held and might determine the course of the entire talks. These sources believe M. Molotov gave the envoys Russia’s views on the proposals they offered him on August 6, which have not been announced yet.
