the need for maximum efforts toward disarmament Summarizing the Soviet news agency said Nikita Khrush Khrushchev � chev pointed out that solution of the problems of disarmament cannot be approached without a definite measure of trust and frankness There is hardly any need to argue that it is precisely the leaders at the highest level and in the highest positions who can in personal contacts most easily display this trust in the inten intentions � tions and proposals of the other side and thus create conditions most favorable for the success of the negotiations Disclosure of the message to Diefcnbakcr coincided with re lease of similar letters to French President dc Gaulle and Swedish Premier Tagc Erlan der Canada is one of the 18 na nations � tions to be represented at the Ucneva

important part ot humanity are not less interested In the realization of a general and complete disarm ament The Soviet premier in effect rejected de Gaulles proposal lo limit disarmament talks to the
