TALKS AMONG BIG THREE
QUESTIONS ASKED IN COMMONS
LONDON, November 10. The I/€ ad er of the House of Commons (Mr H. F. Crookshank) declined to be drawn today on whether the Prime Minister (Mr Churchill) would suggest peace talks with Mr Stalin to the incoming American President, Mr Eisenhower.
• (Labour) had asked if Mr Churchill would raise with Mr Eisenhower the possibility of talks with Mr Stalin in an effort to lessen the tension in international affairs.
Replying for Mr Churchill. Mr Crookshank said: “There will, of course, be many questions which the Government will wish to discuss with the new United States Administration. The Prime Minister has no doubt that these exchanges will cover such matters as relations between the Soviet Union and the free world.” Mr Dodds said: “Is not the Leader of the House aware that many people are fed up with the way in which the Prime Minister is continuing to sit on the fence in this matter, after the glowing accounts he gave in 1950 and 1951 about the possibilities of high-level talks? Will he not attempt to persuade the Prime Minister at long last to blaze the trail to Moscow for peace instead of trying to find it in Korea?’’ There was no reply.
