Speech Rodiotes Hope

GENEVA. July % R.-The
tert of a statement by Pre-
mier Bulodnin at the final
meeting OF the summit con-
ference:
There is no doubt that the
meeting of the heads of govern
ment of France. Great Britain,
the United States of America
and the Soviet Union which took
place in Geneva has its positive
significance for the relaxation OF
tension in the relations between
states, for the re-establiShment
of the necessary confidence be-
tween them.
First of all, personal contacts
between the leading statesmen
of the four powers established
IN Geneva will facilitate this.
We came to know each other
better and exchanged views on
a number Of the most important
international problems. Not
vithstanding the fact that there
was no concurrence of views on
certain questions, the conference
rs a whole was held in an at
mosphere of sincerity and was
marked by the desire of the par
ticipants to establish mutual
understanding.
The Geneva conference TO-
cused attention Of the nations
throughout the whole world and
strensthened even more their
will to ease international ten
sion. to put an end to "cold war"
We hope that all this VIII yet
play it's positive role and will
facilitate achieving the noble
end-to insure a stable and las
ing peace.
The delegation of the Soviet
Union came to the Geneva con-
ference with good intentions 10
facilitate the organization OF
practical work directed at the
solution first of all of such basic
international problems as or
ganization of collective security
in Europe and disarmament. In
the present situation these ques-
tions are of decisive Importance
for the cause of strengthening
universal peace.
Rates Security First
The most important question
considered at the Geneva con-
ference was the question Of .Eu-
ropean security. The Soviet gov
ernment believes that the estab-
lishment of a system Of collec-
tive security based on the par
ticipation of all European states
and OF the United States OF
America would meet the interests
Of strengthening peace. Our new
proposals on the question sub
mitted at the Geneva conference
are based on reckoning with the
fact that. under the present con-
ditions where are set up in Eu-
rope, the groupings Of states
which oppose each other, 1t is
necessary first of all to put the
relations between the states
members of these groupings along
the lines Of peaceful coopera-
tion, Of peaceful settlement Of
disputes between them.
The Soviet proposals do not
provide for the liquidation of the
North Atlantic bloc, the Western
European union or of the War
saw treaty organization during
the first stage of the organiza-
ton of the system of all-Euro-
pean security. In the course OF
time, during the second stage,
where the success In relaxation
of tension in Europe and in es-
tablishing confidence between
states would have been achieved,
the said groupings could be Ii
quidated and replaced by the
system of collective security in
Europe.
Along with this, the Soviet
delegation advanced the proposal
to agree, pending the creation of
the system of collective security
In Europe, on the conclusion OF
q treaty between the states
members of the groupings which
exist in Europe to refrain mutu-
ally froM the use of force and
to settle disputes by peaceful
means. The exchange of views
on European security proved that
all participants in the conference
displayed a desire to find an
agreed decision on this impor-
tant problem. We hope that fur
ther consideration Of this prob
lem will bring even more con-
siderable success.
Earlier Proposals Recalled
Even before the Geneva con-
ference, on May 10. in regard to
the question OF disarmament,
the Soviet Government ad-
vanced concrete proposals on
the reduction of ornaments,
prohibition of atomic weapons
and elimination of the threat
of a new war. At the Geneva
conference we proposed that the
agreement reached on the ques-
tions in regard to which our
positions either fully concurred
or became considerably closer
be registered
This concerns, first of all, the
establishment of the levels OF
ornaments, the prohibition OF
atomic weapons and the need
to set up a system Of effective
international control. The dis
cussion on disarmament proved
that all members of the con-
ference we're in favor of seeking
an agreed solution also of this
important problem, which is Of
decisive import for the security
Of nations.
In this connection, one must
point out that in the course oi
the discussion on disarmament
the participants in the confer
ence made suggestions which
undoubtedly would be taken intt
