Editorial Note

At a meeting of the Allied High Commission on December 15 and 16, François-Poncet again reported the agreement of his government to the recommendations of October 27 on the political status of Berlin, this time without mentioning any reservations. The High Commissioners, however, agreed not to take any action on the recommendations until the Berlin Magistrat presented its draft constitution in early January.
