A high West German official said no sensational results were likely.

De Gaulle brought most of his cabinet with seven ministers for two days of conferences. Regular meetings of this kind are held every six months under the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation signed by De Gaulle and former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in January, 1963. Erhard also had some things he would like to accomplish. West German sources said he wanted to talk about three main subjects: 1. Strengthening his position for any dealings with the Communists.

Though prospects for reunification of Germany are remote, Erhard wants any support from France he can get. 2. Providing some political underpinning for the European Common Market. De Gaulle is expected to listen sympathetically, but only providing Erhard proposes nothing that includes Britain or involves yielding any French national power to a supranational body. 3.

Getting French Cooperation for talks with the United States and other major trading countries in the "Kennedy round" of negotiations to break down barriers to international trade. West Germany is particularly eager to cut tariffs on industrial goods. Strengthening the Common Market has been uphill work since De Gaulle vetoed Britain's admission just before signing his treaty with Adenauer.
