Dulles Urges Peiping to Renounce Force for Talks
Secretary of State Dulles pressed Peiping to declare an end to the use of force, saying negotiations with the United States depend on such a pledge. He cited recent airmen and civilians’ releases and Chou En-lai’s conciliatory remarks as possible signs of a new phase in Communist relations, while warning one swallow does not make a summer. He rejected McCarthy’s charge that Geneva talks merely ratify a prior big-power swap and backed Knowland’s denial of any such deal.
