ADVOCATE OF COMPROMISE
New Soviet UJX.
Delegate
NEW YORK. January 8.
Russia’s new United Nations delegate. Mir Nikolai Federenko, yesterday urged "the way of reasonable compromise” to settle East-West disputes.
The two sides should draw on their experience of the recent Caribbean crisis to move forward to such settlements, he told reporters at an informal press conference after presenting his credentials to the SecretaryGeneral (U Thant). Mr Fedorenko's United Nations appointment has been interpreted in some quarters as an indication that Russia would show greater flexibility in the United Nattons, where his predecessor, Mr Valerian Zorin, was regarded as a “hard line" advocate. The new envoy told reporters that be considered the Soviet Uniort had shown “unbelievable flexibility’’ in Its detenminaition to set tie the principal issues. But flexibility should be shown by both sides, not only by one side. “In everything we should have reciprocity,” he said. “Concessions for concessions and not sword for sword.” Mr Fedorenko, aged 50, who has been described as the “new-style Soviet organisation man,” appeared to be cultured, suave and urbane.
