Professor Laski’s Plan For East-West Peace Conference
NEW YORK, Mar. 27.
Professor Harold Laski the British economist, and former Labour Party chairman, proposed today that Lord Mountbatten, General Eisenhower, and other Western leaders, should be sent to Moscow to pave the way for an East-West peace meeting in Stockholm. Professor Laski, who is visiting the
United States for a lecture tour, suggested that the other members should be M. Halvard Lange, the Norwegian Foreign Minister, and M. Leon Blum, the French Socialist.
He added that they would be given the task of laying the basis for a meeting between President Truman, Mr. Stalin, and Mr. Attlee. Professor Laski said: “I would go on my knees to Moscow if I could make them understand, without sacrificing any of my principles, that we want peace. If the world calls it appeasement I don’t care.”
