Europe happy
NZPA-Reuter London President Reagan’s proposals for reducing mediumrange nuclear missiles in Europe have won support ranging from the British Prime Minister (Mrs Margaret Thatcher) to the Italian Communist Party newspaper. “We warmly welcome the President’s intention to seek massive nuclear disarmament in Europe,” Mrs Thatcher said after talks in Bonn with Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. “This is a most important initiative and I believe that it will receive a warm welcome not only in political circles but in the hearts and minds of people across Europe,” she told a news conference. Chancellor Schmidt, hailing Mr Reagan as “a man who deep in his heart is searching for peace,” said the speech would give him “a very firm basis” for talks with President Brezhnev, who will visit Bonn next week. The Opposition Labour leader in Britain, Michael Foot, also gave an enthusiastic welcome to President Reagan’s proposals. He forecast that the surprise move could be a breakthrough in the nuclear arms race. “I think it is much the wisest announcement that has so far come from the Reagan Administration on arms limitation.” '
