“WEST AT FAULT”
Fulbright On Berlin Crisis
(NZ.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, October 1
The chairman of the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator William Fulbright, said he did not think the West was “without fault” over Berlin, when speaking at a press conference during the weekend.
Senator Fulbright said many mistakes had been made. “We bear a very heavy responsibility for the stupidity of a situation which is to my shame as it is to anybody in the West,” he said.
“Certainly it is not just the fault of the Russians,” he said. “The Americans contributed much to this. “I do not know how much the British and others contributed—l don’t want to be self righteous about it,” Senator Fulbright said.
