GENERAL
1. Molotov again seeks French support on German rearmament question:
2.
Ambassador Bohlen has reported another 3.3(h)(2)
attempt by Foreign Minister Molotov, in a
2 September interview with French ambas-
sador joxe, to win French support for the
Soviet policy of opposition to German rearmament. Molotov expressed
the fear that Germany would break out of "the shell of EDC" and embark
on a militaristic course. He stated that the Soviet Union was primarily
interested in safeguarding itself from Germany and preventing German
rearmament.
Joxe reiterated the French position that the
German problem was not one to be discussed by France and the USSR
alone, and that there was no possibility of dividing the Allies on this
question.
Comment: Both Molotov and Soviet ambas-
sador Vinogradov in Paris have approached Joxe during the last two
months with similar arguments on the German problem.
