Then the President of the U.S. rose in remote Arco, Idaho, and, in his first speech on U.S.-Soviet relations in many months, urged an end to the cold war and a new spirit of "common endeavor" between Moscow and Washington.

But was there even more than that to Red China's present contortions? Last week the Red army newspaper devoted columns to the glorification of Red Chinese participation in the Korean War.
