Last week Stassen methodically filled in the details of the U.S. plan in London, day by day. He proposed an immediate cut of U.S. and Russian forces to 2,500,-ooo each (an old figure that both sides have used at one time or another). A second-and third-stage cut bringing troop strength down to 1,700,000 could be left to the future and would depend on "political conditions...

To encourage those collective farms still operating (some 7,500 of 10,-ooo have been abandoned since Gomulka took power) he will reduce by one-third the state requisitions from them, and pay twice as much for what the state does get. For other land, restrictions will be removed from ownership, leases, purchases and sales, and the "principle of the free transfer of property will...
