Piece on Kennedy
From U. S. Paper

MOSCOW, Sept. 81 (AP).-
Pravda yesterday printed a two
column article about President
Kennedy-at the invitation of
the New York Post.
The article was written by the
Posts editor, James Wechsler.
who pointed out that almost
everything about Premier Khru-
shchev is printed in United
States newspapers but little
about Mr.. Kennedy appears in
Soviet newspapers.
In his article Mr.. WechSler
invited the Communist Party
newspaper Pravda and the gov
Iernment newspaper Izvestia to
print the article, which he
called a brief analysis of the
position of the President.
Pravda reported it was printing
it in full.
Mr.. WechSler wrote that Ken
nedy has no illusions about
victory in nuclear war, but
if the worst happened he would
not allow the United States to
accept defeat.
Nevertheless he said the Pres
ident was determined to try to
work out solutions of existing
problems even knowing that
any solution will shower blame
on him as a conciliator. He
said the President thought any
thing could be negotiated ex-
cept the dignity of free people.
This is the first such ap-
praisal of the President in re-
cent memory printed in the
Soviet Union

Hits West on Tests

-. Attempts have been made
of late in connection with the
decision of the Soviet govern
ment to carry out expert
mental nuclear explosions in
the USSR to diStort the ac-
tual situation.
The Soviet government took
this step .. in reply to outright
threats on the part of the United
States and its allies +. to use
force if a German peace treaty
is signed. ...
We warned =. If France con-
tinued testing nuclear weapons
the Soviet Union would also be
compelled to resume tests OF
those weapons. -.
1t must also be emphasized
that the United States ahd the
United Kingdom never agreed
to the complete discontinuance
of all nuclear tests.
The Soviet government is
conducting nuclear tests, is
creating new kinds Of weapons
is displaying and will display
concern for the strengthening
of the defensive capability oi
the Soviet state. -.

The broader international
recognition the two German
states are given, the sooner

The United Nations would

sight if it took a decision to
admit both German states to
the United Naions. E.
How can the threat OF
war in connection with the
present situation in Germany
be STAYED off. There is a
way out. To sign already in
1861 a German peace treaty
and to normalize the situation
in West Berlin by turning
it into a demilitarized free
city. ..
The Soviet Union is not beg
ging for a peace treaty. 1t has
won the right to sign such g
treaty at the price of great
sacrifices.
We are ready to sign a single
peace treaty with the two Ger
man states or separate treatie;
with the German Democratic
Republic EAST Germany and

still received no reply from the
Western powers to that settle

The Soviet government which
introduced the idea Of general

do all that depands on it to
put it into effect.
The Soviet government fully
supports the demand of the par

plete disarmament. ...
However. the United States
representative declared that ii
was necessary also to place
under control Immediately that
part of the armed forces and
ornaments. which under the
treaty are to be retained by
the states.
If this demand is trans
lated into simple human Ian
guage it would appear that
states could reduce their armed
forces and armaments by an
infinitesimal fraction while al
the same time would be obliged
to open all their doors for in
ternational control, or in other
words foreign intelligence.
No peace-loving state that
cherishes the security interests
Of the nations D.. can agree

Unless the advocates of con-

that the disarmament talks will

The present session OF the

which is much more troubled

bloc powers
One is involuntarily forced
to ponder over the objective
which the major powers Of the
aforementioned military bloc
are seeking to reach. If, indeed
they go on rattling the saber
and a spouting forth threats, as
they are doing today in con-
nection with the Soviet pro-
posal on the conclusion with
out delay on a German peace
treaty, no one will be able to
guarantee that events will not

Plan for West Berlin

We are proposing a settle
ment of the situation in West
Berlin on the basis of a peace
treaty, on conditions which
would not affect the prestige
of either the USSR or the
Western powers.
In the implementation of our
proposal for a peace treaty
there is no question of ban
ming access to West Berlin or
of a blockade as some people
try to assert. The free city
of West Berlin would have the
right to establish ties with any
country on any continent.

the status of the free city. q.
The Soviet Union is ready to
agree to the use of troop con-
tingents of neutral states or
United Nations troops as guar
antors of the status of the free
city.
Accept the proposal to
sign peace treaty and to turn
West Berlin into a free city its
basis, and we will accept any
proposals on the most effective
guarantees for that city that
can be found in present-day
international practice. -.
If the United States, the
United Kingdom and France do
not agree jointly to sign a
German peace treaty the
Soviet Union will have no
alternative but to conclude a
peace treaty with the German
Democratic Republic. -.

On Disarmament

One of the focal problems
to be deliberated at this ses-
sion of the General Assembly
is the problem of disarmament
1t is a good thing
that the two states which bear
the brunt of ornaments in the
presen day world have sue
ceeded in concerting a common
platform for the resumption of
disarmament negotiations. But
there is a real danger that at
temptS might be made to in
terpret these points in such a
way as to give them a content
that is alien to genuine dis
armament.
The Soviet government does
not consider it possible to pass
over in silence the fact that the
negotiations failed to sur
mount the cardinal disagree
ment as to whether the objec-
tive should be disarmament
and control over disarmament.
