1. The first item of the agenda which the Soviets will propose for the
Four Power Conference is a global solution of the East-West conflict
on the basis of spheres of influence.
2. The essential objective of the Soviet disarmament proposal is to prevent
West German rearmament as presently planned.
3. The Soviets will propose a unified, neutralized, armed Germany with a
defense force of 400,000 to 500,000 man.
4. As an alternative, they would accept controlled rearmament of West Germany
counter-balanced by East German armament within the framework of
an all-European security system,
5.
6. Moscow will attempt to bring Finland, as well as Yugoslavia, into the
East Bloc Pact signed at Warsaw. Reportedly Tito will counter Soviet
advances with a proposal for a system of no ession sots with
nei hbori, states be inns with Bul aria.
On the whole, it seems doubtful that the visit of the Soviet
leaders to Belgrade will induce Tito to return to the Moscow line. It is
to Tito's interest to maintain his independence in the ideological sphere.
7. The Soviets are attempting to strengthen their position by courting western
and neutral narliamentans.

8. In East Germany the SED is disappointed at the cautious tone of the Warsaw
Pact and the exclusion of the DDR. The general feeling in SED ranks is
that the DDR is being used as mere trading material. However,, the Warsaw
Pact provides legal basis for stationing Soviet forces in the satellites.
9. Previous information on plans for the isolation of Berlin is confirmed.
No date for the isolation of the city has been not, probably because
the Soviets do not desire to introduce complications at this critical
juncture.
