FEB 11 1948 FOP SECHED MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT Subject: Security Against Germany I am attaching a paper which states our position regarding security against Germany. This subject is on the agenda for the three power conversations on Germany to be held in London on February 19. In view of the importance of this matter I believe that you may wish to read the entire paper. In brief our position is that the four-power disarmament and demilitarization treaty previously proposed by us is unworkable in the absence of four-power agreement and does not provide a basis for tri-partite discussion. Although we maintain an active interest in this subject we do not contemplate further specific proposals at this time. Please let me know whether you approve this position.
