dated July 14, 1958: Summit conference

Mr. Nikita Khrushchev, Soviet Prime Minister, addressing a meeting in Moscow on July 12 said that a summit meeting was bound to end in failure if the Western leaders insisted on including in the agenda questions dealing with the internal affairs of the East European Socialist countries, Moscow Radio reported. They could not expect that Soviet leaders would discuss with them how to liquidate socialism in these countries, he added. They now used the legal and justified punishment of Mr. Imre Nagy and the other leaders of the Hungarian counter-revolution to sabotage a summit meeting. Mr. Khrushchev, said there were leaders in the West who rejected co-existence, though the only alternative was to go to war. “The Socialist camp does not need war to win. It is convinced that in peaceful competition it will come out triumphant. As our Chinese friends say, Communism is the morning sun rising in the East, while capitalism is the evening sun setting in the West.”
