Khrush Speech In Brief Highlights of Khrushchev remarks today
The Soviet premier described a 50 megaton bomb test planned for Oct 31 but warned against detonating the weapon in the wrong place. He urged Western readiness to settle the German problem and sign a peace treaty by no fixed date. He praised the U.N. machinery yet urged equal rights for socialist neutralist and imperialist blocs. He suggested Western understanding on Berlin, called for disarmament, peaceful coexistence, and condemned colonialism led by the United States while expressing faith in socialist triumph without external interference. Production goals in the seven year plan would enable faster U.S. economic parity.
