Smiling Mike. But the U.S. officials recognized that Khrushchev's professions of sincerity, genuine as some of them sounded, might well be nothing more than more Communist talk. To test Khrushchev's good faith, they urged that the U.S. quickly make proposals for East-West agreements in a dozen different areas, e.g., a controlled nuclear ban, renewed negotiations on the U.S.S.R.'s lend-lease account with the U.S., an end to Soviet jamming of U.S. broadcasts beamed to the U.S.S.R...
Which Label? But the biggest question mark in East-West relations remained Russia's position v. Red China's. In Peking fortnight ago, seemingly bent on restraining Chinese aggressiveness, Khrushchev had denounced "wars of conquest" but added that Marxists could still recognize "liberating wars"-precisely the label Red China would apply to an attack on Formosa. From Washington last week, U.S. Secretary of State Herter and Under Secretary Douglas Dillon moved quickly to plug this loophole (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), warned that Moscow must share responsibility for Peking's acts...

But whether or not the trouble was Mao's doing alone, or Moscow's too, there was nothing haphazard about it. When joined with Peking's saber rattling against India (see below), it became clear that Red China was in the mood to make trouble. Peking may hesitate to start up Quemoy again (having been thrown off last time), it may fear new hostilities in Korea, but it is plainly determined...
...overall context of the cold war, the U.S. could view the exchange of visits with confidence-confidence in its own economic-technological strength, confidence that the advantages in East-West exchanges lay with the West. With nine satellites put into orbit around the earth, the U.S. had come a long way since the first Soviet Sputniks jolted the nation's confidence in the fall of 1957. And last week came the news of two more big strides in space-military technology: a 142-lb. paddle-wheel satellite that uses solar energy to power its transmitters and a monitoring system...
