LINKS WITH RUSSIA
Stevenson’s Appeal
(N .Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) BOSTON. June sfl
Tile chief United States delegate io the United Nations (Mr Adlai Stevenson) has called for a largescale programme of cultural contacts with the Soviet Union, as the best way of thawing out the cold war.
He cited the current visit of Benny Goodman, the American jazz band leader, as an example of a new “revolutionary trend” in the Soviet Union. Pointing also to “a thaw in the exchange of scientific information,” Mr Stevenson mentioned United Nations plans for a permanent “world weather watch” by space satellites managed jointly by the United States and the Soviet Union. He said there was a new “self-confidence” in the Soviet Union, “a new tendency to look abroad not so’ much with suspicion and fear as with frank curiosity. . . . With the future of the world in the balance, the least we can do is to encourage this delicate growth.”
