Later in the week, addressing a meeting of the Socialist International at Helsinki that also attracted Israel's Premier Golda Meir and Britain's former Prime Minister Harold Wilson, Brandt warned: "There is little point in speaking of détente unless the situation in Berlin, that source of tension and danger, can be defused.
