address to about 967 graduates of Glassboro State College The ceremony was at the college green about 200 yards from Hollybush the residence of the college's president where Johnson met last June 23 and 25 with Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin These were the dominant points in the Chief Executive's remarks to the graduates and several thousand other He Is convinced that with stable enlightened leadership in this country and in the Soviet Union the gulf separating the two countries for 25 years can be bridged and the cold war ended Achievement of positive re- sults in Paris is proving to be a tough slow business with North Vietnam having offered only propaganda in the talks thus far He rejected the North Vietnamese demand that the United States halt all bombing saying an honorable peace required some gestures on the other side toward peace He invited the Soviet Union to join the United States in seeking development of a workable peace in the Middle East a goal toward which he said progress has not yet reached a tory point The President said there should be a true and lasting settlement between Israel and the Arab nations a settlement which respects the integrity of every nation
