Officials Say K Proposed German Peace Treaty Worth Little
Washington officials said Khrushchev's latest package for a Berlin settlement does not advance chances for an East West agreement. They noted no sign of readiness for a summit, stressing lower level talks first. Moscow Radio cited two letters from Khrushchev to UK labor MPs and Japan's council chief, offering to negotiate. Western unity remains fragile with Britain France and West Germany divided over concessions. Khrushchev insists a separate peace with East Germany could avert war, but U.S. officials say Western powers will not join a pact that formalizes Germany's division. Ultimate goal remains German unification.
