SECRET -2- by tabling a simple, colorless agenda. This would permit the tripartite side to move to eventual compromise through adoption of the French pro- posal outlined above. We are prepared to support this new approach with the British and French Governments whenever Jessup deems it timely, and hope that Jessup can convince Parodi and Davies to maintain a strong public line during any period of intergovernmental consultation on the matter. Jessup reports that Davies called a meeting yesterday restricted to Parodi, Davies and himself. Jessup arrived early, but found Davies already closeted with Parodi, confirming his impression that the two were working out a bipartite position to put pressure on the US delegation. Davies showed Jessup a telegraphic instruction from the Foreign Office to the British Embassy in Washington to take up with Secretary Acheson Foreign Secretary Morrison's views as follow: Morrison does not agree that the Soviets are likely to concede if we stand firm, and he believes the question of German demilitarization must be included on the agenda. The British Embassy will tell Acheson that Morrison attaches great importance to ensuring a meeting of the four Foreign Ministers. M. Parodi said a similar approach to the Department would be made to the French Ambassador. SECRET
