COUNCIL OF FOREIGN MINISTERS, SIXTH SESSION
the
Paris, 1949
Introductory Note
The Sixth Session of the Council of Foreign
Ministers was held in Paris from May 23 to June 20,
1949. The United States was represented by Secretary
of State Dean Acheson; the United Kingdom by Ernest
Bevin; the Soviet Union by Andrei Y. Vyshinsky; and
France by Robert Schuman. China was not represented.
The Sixth Session was held in accordance with the
New York Agreement of May 4, 1949 which provided for
the termination of the Berlin blockade on May 12,
1949 and for the convening of the Council of Foreign
Ministers on May 23, 1949 "to consider questions
relating to Germany and problems arising out of the
situation in Berlin, including also the question of
currency in Berlin"
At the first meeting on May 23 the conferees
adopted an agenda consisting of the following items
(1) problems of German unity; (2) Berlin; (3) prepara-
tion of the German peace treaty; and (4) discussion
of the Austrian treaty. During the discussion on
the German peace treaty the question of the participa- -
tion of China in the preparation of this treaty was
not raised.
The communiqué issued at the close of the
Session indicated the limited agreements which the
Foreign Ministers had reached on the Austrian and
German problems.
Summary of Far Eastern Questions Discussed
The only Far Eastern matter raised at the Sixth
Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers was the
question of a Japanese peace treaty. After the agenda
had been agreed upon at the opening meeting on
May 23, the Soviet Foreign Minister stated that he
"desired to find out when the CFM, with China
participating as prescribed, would meet to discuss
the draft treaty with Japan" Secretary Acheson
commented that presumably Mr. Vyshinsky desired
consideration of this question before the end of the
