Reply To Eisenhower
MOSCOW I The Soviet gov
ernment declared Monday night it
is ready and willing to join in "con
fidential or diplomatic talks "with
other powers to discuss the har
nessing of atomic energy.
The statement was made in
a note to the VS. government de
livered Monday night to U.S. Am
bassador Charles E. Boblen.
It was in response to President
Eisenhower's Bee. 8 speech before
the United Nations in which he pro
posed a world atomic pool for
peaceful purposes.
The Kremlin note said:
"As to Gen. Eisenhower's state
ment on the confidential or diplo
matic talks concerning his propos
al, the Soviet government follow
ing consistently its peace-loving
policy, expresses its readiness to
take part in such negotiations. .
The 3,000-word Soviet declaration
criticized the Eisenhower plan as
insuxncient, nowever, stating tnat
it does not provide a real ban on
atomic and hydrogen weapons.
Offers Own Proposals
The Soviet note expressed hope
that atomic conferences will reach
an agreement to lessen the fears
of an anxious world H added:
