Dean Acheson of the United ; States, Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin OF “Great Britain ‘” and ; Foreign Minister Robert Schu- man of France held. a conference of thé Big Four was stheduléd ‘to beheld. aS § The cdnference was secret, but it is assumed that the three rep- resentatives of the Western Paw- ers discussed the position taken yesterday by Foreign Commissar Andrei Vishinsky of Russia in re- fusing to agree%o the proposal for the unification of Germany in accordance with the plan put forward by the Western Bloc. Vishinsky declared that Russi would not agree to the extension of the Bonn constitution to eas' | | ern Germany. Under that con- stitution, the Western part of Germany will become a. de- mocracy. Had it not been for calling into conference again of the Big Four, the people of western Ger- many would have ratified the cording to Ge area. As Russia refuses to the unification on that plan, the western part part of Germany will now: be organized as a dem ocracy. The Big Four convened after the meeting of the three Western. Powers representatives, but it will not be discussed further by them.
