However, there was nothing
the
United states
could do to check Soviet interference
with

and they did not intend to try.
But for.the

Mr.

orris.
looking to ards discussions
between the
two German governments over reunification.
In the present
situation,
with plans for ratification
of the FDC Treaty
and the Ger an Contractual
Agreements bogged down, the
Soviets,
he thought,
might well decide to move this campaign
back to the level of Four-Po er exchanges.
If they did so#
and held out an even more attractive
offer than tl. ey made
last spring,
the effect
on opinion in·
stern Ge~ any

On the other band, Mr. orris was
personally
inclined
to believe
that,
even if they re-opened
the ca paign
hich they had dropped at the end of last
summer# any new offer they might make would probably be
less forthcoming,
since they might well argue that hope
in Western Germany of obtaining
a proper place in a unified
ester-n Europe bad so d:vindled recently
that even a more
modest offer ,from the Soviet Union for German reunification
would be a pealing.
This oersonal
view might be too
sanguine.
In any case, the State Department

on the lookout for a new Soviet proposal
on German
