Peaceful Coexistence a Communist Myth, Congressmen Say
A House committee urged Eisenhower to sever diplomatic ties with Moscow dominated states and halt trade with Communist nations. The panel, after hearings in London, Munich, and Berlin, called peaceful coexistence a myth and proposed a global conference to oppose the Soviet bloc and support non Communist nations. It urged recognition of free nations, withdrawal of formal recognition from Moscow aligned governments, ending commercial treaties, and a program to defeat international communism. It also endorsed asylum for refugees and the creation of an international tribunal within NATO to prosecute Communist crimes.
