Wainwright.
The document that emerges
from the 75-day convention

Dulles emphasized two points :
at the very outset of his blunt;
statement to Molotov at to
day’s Big Fou session — the
ninth of this Geneva confer
ence.
First, he said, the Soviet posi
tion, if persisted in, will “per
I petuate conditions which put
in jeopardy the peace of Eu
rope.”
Second, he said, Molotov’s
; speech yesterday “strikes a
I crippling blow” at the develop
ment of relations of confidence
t between the West and Russia
! Pinay said Molotov had made
it plain he would not agree to
! the reunification olf Germany
. “until assured of conditions
for .the Sovietlzation of all Ger
many.”
Dulles accused the Soviet
Union of breaking agreements
’ on German reunification thr
ough free elections made by
premier Bulganin at the sum
mit conference in July.
He said he would be less
than franik if he did not stale
that “so far as the United
States is concerned what has
happened here Was largely shat
tered such confidence as was
born at the summit conference”
