Pledge
(N.Z. Press Assn—Copyright) MOSCOW, Nov. 1. In a major effort to calm the fears of Soviet citizens, shaken by the overthrow of Mr Khrushchev, “Pravda” todaypledged there would be no return to secret police rule in Russia and that a better life for the average man remained the Kremlin’s goal. The main organ of the central committee also promised to continue a war-avoiding policy of peaceful co-existence with the West, and, indeed, to work for “improvement and development of relations with all capitalist countries.” That would obviously mean, first of all, with the United States.
Without mentioning Mr Khrushchev by name, the newspaper praised many of ithe achievements—especially in space, agriculture and industry—made while he was the Soviet Union’s leader.
It urged the need to proceed from there.
