PEACE CHANCE

Russian’s View <N Z.P.A .-Reuter—Copyright) MOSCOW. November 25. The Soviet Government newspaper, "lavestia” yesterday hailed the enaing of the Caribbean crisis as possibly the "beginning of the end of other disputed problems... This opportunity must not be lost.** It said. The newspaper’s authoritative writer. Nikolai Plyanov, called the ending of the Cuban crisis “a victory of common sense over recklessness.'*

He said other problems—including the ending of nuclear tests, general and complete disarmament, and Warsaw Pact relations—had “for a long time poisoned the world’s political atmosphere. “It would be naive, however, to think that the horizons of world politics will dear of clouds of their own accord. The thought of peaceful co-existence with revolutionary Cuba continues to madden the militarists and extremists," Plyanov said. But, be said: “Probably the world has never been near such an important turn as today. The ending of the Caribbean crisis could become the beginning of the end of other disputed problems, and this opportunity must not be lost. The chances of peace had risen after the decision of President Kennedy to lift the Cuban blockade. “Pravda" said today. The prospects would become still better if his “wise action is followed by further constructive steps on the part of the White House," it said.
