GENERAL
le USSR agrees to include 66other? questions99 on agenda of goosed FM.
The USSR, in reply to the US, UK and French
notes of 123 January 1951 on a proposed four
ower conference, reiterates its insisten ce
p
upon a CFM as "provided for by the Potsdam agreement." The Soviet
Government also re-emphasizes its view that German remUitarization
is the most urgent question requiring consideration. At the same time,
it is agreed that other questions may be discussed by the CFM "in the
composition and in the manner provided for by the Potsdam agreement."
The USSR has "no objection" to a preliminary conference in Paris.
However, this preliminary meeting should be restricted to the setting
up of an agenda, including the order in which questions will be discussed,
and must not consider substantive matters.
Comment. It is clear from the tenor of this
note, as well as earlier notes in the present diplomatic campaign, that
the USSR is primarily interested in discussing German 'demilitari-
zation" within the framework of the Potsdam agreement. It also ap-
pears that the USSR will insist on this question as item number one on
the agenda. Soviet agreement to the inclusion of other questions is
e'dently dependent upon the Council being properly constituted (Com-
munist China to be represented in any discussion of Far Eastern
questions) and upon retention of the veto power.

USSR wins advantages from trade with Iran'
Tabriz states that efforts i.o form a government- sponsored company in
Tabriz to conduct trade with the USSR under the trade agreement have
been abandoned and that the Tabriz-merchants have now been granted
permission to deal directly with the USSR Trade Company in Tehran.
Comment: The reports on this matter are not
entirely clear; however, if true, they tend to confirm the suspicion
that R.azmara has not been as effective in upholding his country's inter-
