Stalin peace talks rejected by U S for second time this week
The state department again rejected Russia's call for peace talks basing discussion on Henry Wallace's peace program. Officials said Stalin's proposals, tied to Wallace ideas, cannot be negotiated alone by the United States and the Soviet Union. The stance follows Molotov's earlier overture and links talks to a restored balance of power and policy shifts.
