Europeans Pleased By Speech
In London the Eisenhower peace program drew Western Europe's cautious optimism amid doubts about Soviet reaction. Moscow radio criticized the speech while Western officials noted a mild Soviet tone and room for maneuver. Britain and France supported the plan in general terms as US officials planned follow ups and Cabinet members weighed further engagement. The president, sidelined by minor illness, faced praise from Manchester Guardian and London Star for proposing arms cuts and redirected funds to fighting poverty, while East German papers largely ignored the speech.
