(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) BONN, March 12.
The Soviet Union has taken the unprecedented step of formally briefing West Germany on the longsmouldering Chinese-Soviet dispute. Sweeping aside the recent bitter exchanges between Bonn and Moscow, the Soviet Ambassador in Bonn (Mr Semyon Tsarapkin) called on the Chancellor (Dr Kurt Kiesinger) to voice Russian fears of what he described as “the i threat to Asia of Peking’s
chauvinistic foreign policies.” Mr Tsarapkin’s visit was reported by the chief Government spokesman (Mr Guenter Diehl) to a hastily-called news conference after Mr Tsarapkin’s one-hour meeting with Dr Kiesinger. Mr Diehl, who said Mr Tsarapkin had requested the meeting urgently, added that the Bonn Government (assumed that Moscow was undertaking a similar briefing jin other Western capitals. “It would be remarkable, to say the least, if only Bonn I has been singled out for this i purpose,” he said.
