Last night, Bevin and Bidault held a “secret meet- ing in the American embassy here. What action was taken at the conference was not disclos- ed, though it is known that the | three are against the Molotov proposal that Russia be given $10 billion in reparations from Germany before that country | has a chance to get on its eco- | nomic feet.
