UNITY PLANS

ENGLISH SPEAKING POWERS & RUSSIA MILITARY AND POLITICAL AFFAIRS. PROPOSED PERMANT COMMISSION. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) 1 y LONDON, September 6. Frequent conversations which are being held in London between the British Foreign Secretary, Mr Eden, the Soviet Deputy Foreign Commissar, M. Maisky, and the United States Ambassador, Mr Winant, are the outward signs of steady preparatory progress toward the development of a means of ensuring closer military and political unity between Britain, Russia, and the United States, says the diplomatic correspondent of “The Times.” A conference between the three Foreign Secretaries is confidently expected to take place next month. The three Governments, the correspondent says, hope to establish a commission representing all the Governments, which would remain in permanent session, sharing all information. The first conference would establish the machinery for closer unity, and the commission would keep the machinery running. The proposed permanent commission would, in some respects, 'be like an ambassadorial conference, interpreting the agreed policies of the three Governments. The “Daily Telegraph’s” diplomatic correspondent says that a suggestion has been made to M. Maisky that Russia should send a representative to Sicily or North Africa.
