Geneva Meeting

Continued from Page One)
evaluate its results against the
background of his vast knowledge
and adherence of war and his
dedication to the cause of a just
and durable peace"
Dulles said he thought that the
Geneva meeting had not been
wholly barren" And he ex-
pressed hope for better results in
the future, saying that after long
years in international diplomacy
he is not "easily discouraged"
'The government and people of
the United States" Dulles told
Molotov, want to develop better
relations with the Soviet nation.
"Our hope for the future derives
from our belief that the Soviet
government will sooner or later
come to see that the advantage for
it in better relations with the
Western powers is far better than
local and passing advantages
which it. could gain at the price of
FORGETTING the good relations which
at the summit conference the So
Wet rulers seemed to want"
Dulles covered the discussions
here point by point with sunnmar-
ling comments beginning with
the problems of German unifica-
ton and European security.
He said the Russian refusal
"even to contemplate free cleo
tons in East Germany" serves to
highlight ''as no words could the
situation throughout eastern Eur
ope."
IF the so-called German Demo
cratic Republic" he said, cannot
stand the test of a peoples choice,
no more than can the regimes i'm
posed on the peoples of eastern
Europe"
