Cynthia Cherner notes a chaotic UN session with Khrushchev’s boisterous attacks and calls for rapid decolonization. Eisenhower opposes bold shifts while Africa Asia and Latin America weigh a new bloc, as colonial questions move to the General Assembly.
The piece contrasts Kennedy and Nixon on labor policy including a stronger minimum wage and opposition to right to work. It notes their positions on a 32 hour week and wage expansion, Kennedy’s labor ties, and Nixon’s conservative stance. It then shifts to East German tensions with West Berlin, Khrushchev demands on disarmament, and neutral country diplomacy amid UN tensions.
Khrushchev set April as a summit deadline speaking to the West German ambassador in Moscow. He warned of a Berlin crisis if talks fail. Kennedy and Nixon back a Big Four meeting only after lower level discussions to pave a worthwhile summit.
The debate highlights Cuba policy differences between Kennedy and Nixon. Nixon calls Kennedy plan interventionist and dangerous. Kennedy favors stronger sanctions and collective action with OS A and European allies to aid anti Castro forces. The exchange cites embargo details and Latin American treaties on noninterference.
London observers say Britain would prefer Kennedy over Nixon as president and hope he names Adlai Stevenson as Secretary of State. They view Nixon as unsubtle and unwise and worry about Lodge and Dillon as potential issues in allied reliability.
