The free world foreign ministers also appeared, headed toward a general settlement designed to wipe out the ancient fears and rivalries that have rent Europe for centuries.

End the Allied occupation of West Germany by about the, end of ■ this yean : American-British- French surrender of some rights may take place almost immediate ly. 2. Allow the West Germans- to rearm under a strict international watch to be carried out by' a seven-nation European Arma riients Authority. 3. Bring West Germany simul taneously into an enlarged Brus sels alliance and into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ‘as its 15th member. Italy, a wartime enemy-too, will also join the Brus sels group, formed by five na tions in 1948.

Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourgh— the founding members of the 50- year Brussels -- alliance—swiftly agreed on a supplement to. .their treaty that will formally, invite West Germany and Italy to join.
