Among other matters discussed,

Some correspondents submitted
questions in writing in advance of
the news conference. Mr.. Lie ex-
pressed regret he could not dis
close more details in his replies,
adding:
THE talks and exchanges of
views between leaders of states
and the secretary general must be
confidential If results as regards
actual situation and difficult
problems are to be obtained.
II have been asked how I am
satisfied with the results of my
discussions with leaders of states
in the four capitals I have visited
since April 20.
Results to Take Time.
ITO this I should only like to
point out that the United Nations
secretary general cannot be salts

machinery works normally, the
cold war is brought to an end and
friendly relations are established
between the member nations.
Il have no reasons to be dis
satisfied with my conversations in
Moscow. A final judgment, how
ever, cannot be made before two
or three months from now. May
be it will take a still longer pc

In this connection, I should
like to repeat what I said at q
