SUMMIT TALKS URGED
Bevan’s Advice To Eisenhower
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 11 p.m.) WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.
Mr Aneurin Bevan, the prominent British Labour Party member, today paid a 50-minute call on President Eisenhower, and said afterwards he had told the President that “of course” it would be desirable to have a meeting with the Soviet Union aimed at reaching an East-West settlement.
He declined to say whether Mr Eisenhower had received his suggestion sympathetically oi otherwise.
"You will have to ask him.” he said. “I am not here to interpret the American President to the American people.” Mr Bevan, the probable Foreign Secretary in any future British Labour Government, said that the President had received him “very agreeably.”
They had discussed a number of issues, especially the Middle East. Asked whether he had urged a summit meeting between leaders of the Communist and non-Com-munist world. Mr Bevan replied:
“I said of course that it was desirable that there should be a meeting.”
