Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated July 10, 1959: Summit talks

Mr. Harold Macmillan, British Prime Minister, said in the House of Commons on July 8 that he favoured a summit meeting because he believed decisions for the USSR could only be taken by the Soviet Prime Minister, Mr. Nikita Khrushchev. The Berlin question might be one of them. This would be a first step and then they could get on to the great questions which lie behind. The Prime Minister said he had never hoped that the Foreign Ministers meeting at Geneva would solve all the questions. But he still hoped it would reduce the matters in dispute into a manageable compass and present them in such a way that the remaining points could be presented at the heads of Government meeting.
