McGovern Calls For New Internationalism And Israel Support
Senator George McGovern warned the war may drag on for years and urged a move away from isolationism toward constructive internationalism based on U S interests and ideals. He proposed recognizing mainland China, backing a permanent Japanese U N Security Council seat, and withdrawing over half of Europe based troops while keeping enough strength. He reaffirmed U S support for Israel, urged justice for Soviet Jews, and noted ongoing U S forces in the Pacific despite withdrawals. He spoke in Cleveland after breakfast with contributors and a reception by the All American Council honoring diverse ethnic groups.

Nixon says peace talks are in sensitive stage
President Nixon held his first news conference in five weeks, describing Vietnam negotiations as in a sensitive stage. He rejected Democratic charges, defended the Soviet wheat deal, and pledged no personal knowledge of the Watergate bugging while urging Congress to curb elderly property taxes and pursue welfare reform. He said bombing and mining in North Vietnam would continue until agreements are reached and elections would not affect policy decisions. He warned against tax increases from congressional overspending and urged to keep focus on defeating McGovern.
