Mr. John Foster Dulles, U.S. Secretary of State, during a press conference on May 20 in Washington, said that it was likely, unless unforeseen obstacles were thrown in the way by the Soviet Union, that technical talks on problems involved in controlling nuclear test suspensions would start in three or four weeks. The exchanges by letter with the Soviet Union had been an educational process and on the related questions of the outlook for a summit conference, there was now not the same emotional fervour in Europe for such a meeting as there had been. Mr. Dulles said at the recent North Atlantic Treaty Conference in Copenhagen it had been recognised that a summit meeting was not the only way and not necessarily the best way to arrive at agreements.
