REVISION OF TREATY
BRITISH DRAFT FOR GERMAN DISARMAMENT Rec. 9 p.m. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. The British Government has submitted to the United States a detailed draft of a Four Power Treaty guaranteeing the disarmament and demilitarisation of Germany. The draft is the British revision of the treaty proposed in April, 1946, by Mr James Byrnes, who was then United States Secretary of State. The Chicago Sun correspondent, Frederick Kuh, publishes a summary of the draft to-day, the main points of which are: First, Mr Byrnes proposed that a 40-year guarantee of German disarmament should be extended to 50 years; secondly, none of the Big Four should singly possess veto rights against action to enforce Germany's disarmament. Kuh says the British draft goes far beyond Mr Byrnes's plan by suggesting that German disarmament should be extended to economic and political fields.
