Khrushchev's argument that
war is not inevitable and his
proposals of "peaceful coex
istence."
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

wife attended a 10:30 a,m. Mass

" Kennedy later attended the
Orange Bowl football game in
Miami.
In ' Bonn, In a broadcast
beamed to East Germany, Presi
dent Heinrich Luebke of West
Germany urged restraint in the
pursuance of the reunification
of Germany. "If must not be
realized at the expense of world
peace," he said.
In Vatican City, Pope John
XXIII blessed a holiday crowd
of 50,000 gathered in St. Peter's
Square. A New Year's Eve rain
washed out a traditional torch
light parade to the square by
Roman municipal workers.
Peking radio, broadcasting an
editorial of the Peking People's

Red China in 1962 even
though "our enemies at home

trouble for us."

good of our peoples,"
In his message, Mao said the
Chinese people would "always
defend, together with the
Soviet people, the revolutionary
principles of the Moscow decla
ration and the Moscow state
ment."
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.
