President Flatly
Denies Charge of
Europe Meddling
Dim View Taken 4
Russian Utterance
Key West, Fl. (U.R) Presi;
dent Eisenhower toflay fturled
back at the leaders of Commu
nist Russia" a flat denial thahe
is an exponent of interference
in MiddlQ Europe. The President
said Soviet Communist leader
Nikita Khrushchev was wrong
in his analysis of American for
eign policy.
In the face of new blasts from
the Russian political high com
mand, the President refused to
change pogition and took a dis
tinctly dim- view of what the
Russians had been saying in re
cent days.
Mr. Eisenhower said this coun
try would not retreat from its
foreign policy encouragement of
Middle European peoples to de
fect from Soviet control.
Remains U. S. Goal
"The peaceful liberation of
the captive peoples has been,
is, and, until success is achieved,
will continue to be a mSjor goal
of U. S. foreign policy," the
President said in a statement re
leased by his press secretary,
James C. Hagerty.
Khrushchev, the boss of the
international operations of the
Communist party, said in an im
passioned ! spe'echo'yeste'rday to
the Soviet Presidium that the
President and Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles had commit
ted "crude interference" in
Communist East Europe by their
Christmas broadcasts to the Eu
ropean peoples.
The vacation White House at
first refused to comment. But
after Hagerty talked with Dul
les this morning and the Presi
dent had a chance to go over
the latest dispatches from Mos
cow, the White House issued
this statement: t
Recalls Genera Statement .
"Mr. Khrushchev is reported
to have said that the Christmas
messages of President Eisenhow
er and Secretary of State Dult
les to the peoples of Europe
were "in no way accord the
spirit 'of Geneva.",
"It was 'made abundantly
clear at Geneva to the , Soviet
rulers that the "spirit of Gen
eva' could not involve any re
laxing of the peaceful purpose
of the United States to achieve
liberty and justice for the op
pressed peoples of the world.
"In his opening statement at
Geneva, President Eisenhower
said: "There is the problem of
respecting the right of peoples
to choose the form of govern
ment under which they will live,
and of restoring soverign rights
and self-government to those
who have been deprived of
them. The American people feel
strongly that certain peoples of
Eastern Europe, many with a
long and proud record,, of na
tional existence, have not .yet
been given the benefit of this
pledge of our U. N. wartime
declaration reinforced by other
wartime agreements." '
"The peaceful liberation . of
the captive peoples has been, is,
and, until success is achieved,
will continue to be a major
goal of U.- S. foreign policy."
