Malik Bid
On Peace
Decried
NEW YORK, Sept 25-P)-Ja-cob
A. Malik declared today he
favors a meeting of top leaders
of the United States and the Sov
iet Union to negotiate for peace.
He said also his government would
pledge not to be the first to use
the atomic bomb.
Several hours later the U. S.
state department declared .Malik's
statements were only propaganda
which; "smacks of the Stockholm
peace I petition." Press Officer
Lincoln White made the brusque
statement to Washington reporters
after consultations between - the
state department and the Ameri
can delegation to the United Na
tions, ; headed by Secretary of
State Acheson.
Enough of Words
Added White: "We have had
enough of words.. What is needed
now - is action to give practical
effect of these expressions of
good intention."
, Malik's statement aroused spec
ulation among United Nations dele
gates. Western delegates wondered
whether this was part of a new
Soviet peace offensive" seeking to
convince the world that the Rus
sians are more inclined to peace
than the United States-
The i Russian deputy foreign
minister made his views known
to a delegation of the Maryland
Committee for Peace. This or
ganization has been active in dis
tributing a "peace ballot" asking
signers whether they favor out
lawing of atomic weapons and
i
U. S.-Russian meeting to negotiate
differences. Dr. Ruth Bleier, pre
sident of the committee, said re
cently it was merely coincidence
that this ballot was distributed at
the same time as the "Stockholm
Peace Appeal," denounced as a
fraud by many anti-communists
in the United States. The Stock
halm appeal calls mainly for an
outlawing of atomic weapons.
Answers Ready
The Maryland committee ar
ranged some time ago to see Ma
lik. Its questions apparently were
submitted in advance, for Malik
had his answers ready. The Rus
sians are always careful about
answering questions, and never do
so until the answers have been
cleared and approved.
Reporters1 were not present
when Malik met the Maryland
group at the Russian delegation's
offices in Park Avenue. The state-
men i oi ms views was uiaue juw-
lie by a Russian spokesman, who
telephoned the Associated Press.
The spokesman said Malik had
answered "yes" to each of the fol
lowing questions from the Mary
land group:
ML Will your government pledge
that it will not be the first to use
the atomic bomb?
2. Do you favor general dis
armament and the outlawing of
atomic weapons by all nations
under a strict system of control
and Inspection administered
through the United Nations?
J. Do you favor (or will you
agree to) a meeting between the
too leaders of the United States
and the Soviet Union to negotiate
their differences to helD achieve I
full peace?
-4. Do you favor the free Inter-
between the peoples of the two
countries in order to achieve the
understanding that is necessary to
an enduring peace?"
