Hand of Friendship Is Held Out To Russia
Winston Churchill spoke after a rain soaked civic parade in New York declaring the English speaking people offer friendship to the Soviet Union. He urged UN Security Council action on Iran and warned that Soviet moves there will rest on Russia. He revealed Britain and the United States offered a joint guarantee of free passage through the Dardanelles but noted Russia wanted a fortress to dominate Constantinople. The remarks were part of a broader call for a fraternal Anglo-American coalition and cautious handling of Moscow.
