Notes Growing out of My Talk with Mr. Lovett
I should make an appointment with General Marshall for to-
tone
morrow morning to go to the Pentagon to brief him on his talk
with Moch. This should have special reference to the question of
German participation. Mr. Lovett should be informed and should
be there. Ambassador Bruce should go with me and possibly
Mr. Perkins.
General Marshall has received a message, I believe from the
Military Attaché in Paris, referring to his invitation to have a
representative of Mr. Moch attend meetings with Mr. Lovett, be-
ginning October 20. This message says that Mr. Moch declines
to send anyone and will explain to General Marshall. It points out
that the French Government was not supposed to have an answer
on the German question until October 28 and therefore no deputy
could discuss this matter. It goes on to say that Mr. Moch falls
to see why deputies should discuss other questions since the stand-
ing group was supposed to begin its consideration of these ques.
tions on October 25. The message says Bruce has been informed
about this.
I went over with Mr. Lovett our attitude with Mr. Moch on
the question of German participation. He agrees that we should
not withdraw from our position that we should keep the heat on
the French; that if the French wish to turn down our proposal we
should not try to think up another one, but should place upon them
the burden of originating any new idea. We should insist that some
solution of the German participation question is essential to the
whole plan. It is quite possible in his view, indeed probable, that
the solution cannot occur at the meeting on October 28, but steps
should be taken so that we are on the road toward finding the
solution.
