IMPORTANT PRACTICAL MOVE, SAY OBSERVERS
Received Monday, Ilam LONDON, Jan. 30. Observers believe that Marshal Stalin's statement constituted an important practical move, not merely a rhetorical appeal to world opinion. They consider it significant that for the first time a member of the "Soviet Government mentioned the possible lifting of the Berlin blockade without imposing conditions about the circulation of the Soviet mark in Western Ber-. lin. The success of the air lift this winter is believed to be the chief reason for Marshal Stalin's appeal to the Western Powers to re-open Four-Power negotiations on Germany -as a whole. It is still too early to say whether the British Government will accept Marshal Stalin's appeal to reconvene the Foreign Ministers' Council, but it is considered cer-
tain that the statement will be discussed quickly between Londoh, Paris and Washington.
