IKE DECLARES . (Continued from PaKe jOmO _ cial meetings—conversations with important members of the other delegations and. of course, very specifically with the Soviet dele* gation.” “In these! 5 ' conversations,” he reported, "a number of subjects were discussed and among them the secretary of state and 1 specifically brought up, more than once, American convictions and Americansbeliefs and American concern about such questions as the satellites of Eastern Europe and the activities of innternational communism. We made crystal clear what were American beliefs about such matters as these.” Discussing his dramatic proposal for aerial inspections by U. S. planes over Russia and Soviet flyers over this country, the President cited two reasons behind it. “The principal purpose,” he said, “of course, is to convince every oneof Western sincerity in seeking peace. But another idea was fhis: If we could go ahead with establishment this kind of an inspection as initiation of an inspection system we could possibly develop into a broader one—and eventually build on it an effective and durable disarmament system.” On the matter of increasing east-west contacts, “there was 'tine greatest possible degree of agreement.” Mr. Eisenhower said: /'A* a matter of fact, each side assured the other earnestly and often that it intended to pursue a new spirit of conciliation and cooperation In its contacts with the other.” ' Trade 5 Good Town — Decattu
