Editorial Note

On November 10 the Foreign Ministers of the United States, United Kingdom, and France, meeting in Paris to discuss the German question, agreed to discourage other nations from taking steps that would lead to de facto or de jure recognition of the “German Democratic Republic”. For a record of their discussion of policy toward the “German Democratic Republic”, see telegram 4716, p. 305.
