The messages, printed by the Communist newspaper Pravda, paid lip service to "fraternal friendship" and "strengthening solidarity" between the Rin nans and Chinese. , Premier Nikita Khrushchev and Chinese Communist Chair man Mao Tse-tung both said their policies are based on de cisions taken at the 10S7 and 1860 conferences of world Com munist parties, .

In an obvious reference to the Kremlin's Cuban policy, Khrushchev wrote Mao that "it has become more evident that the forces of peace are in con dition to prevent thermonuclear war." "The world socialist system is becoming'a factor determin ing international developments in the interests of peace," he continued. He said this showed the "correctness" of the 1957 and 1960 decisions. This was interpreted as an implied answer to Chinese critics of Khrushchev's Carib bean Dollcy. Khrushchev added that the Russians "will spare no effort to strengthen and develop the fraternal friendship between the Soviet Union and the Chi nese People's Republic for the President Kennedy welcomed in the new year at a party In Palm Beach, Fla.

In contrast: to last years greetings, however, the Chinese leader added that his people would "persistently fight against the imperialist policy of war aggression. This was regarded as an ob lique reaffirmation of the Com munist Chinese claim that they recognized the danger of "im perialism" baiter than the Rus sians and also know better how to fight it. Russia started the year with fresh pledges of support for Cuba and a stand-pat approach to most other East-West prob lems. There was no sign that 1963 will bring any major changes in Soviet policy on such ques tions as Berlin and disarma ment. Speaking of Cuba during a toast, at a Kremlin New Year's Eve ball, Khrushchev said the crisis showed that Soviet armed forces must have "new, modern weapons." He did not elaborate, but he warned that a Russia could destroy a capitalist ag gressor "in a matter of hours short hours." The premier's year-end mes sage to Cuban Premier Fidel Castro stressed "unbreakable brotherly, Soviet-Cuban friend ship." , Khrushchev told East German Communist leader Walter Ul bricht that the German oues- tloin was among those "whose non-regulated status carry a serious danger to world peace." But the Soviet leader men tioned no new proposals or a deadline for a Berlin settle ment, and he made none of the usual threats about signing a separate peace treaty with the East German regime if the West balks at accepting the Kremlin's terms.
