1t Is the first time that the Sow

though American and British sour
ces have emphasized the desirable
ity of extending the exchange of
views to the Russian government.

There are some" Eden said,

who think it is necessary to hold
the Communist faith in order to
cooperate with the Soviet Union in
the field of international politics.
Whether we are able to main

through the cooperation we have
established with the other great
