...more is involved than a prudent looking to their defenses. Russia, on the diplomatic defensive since Hungary, is apparently trying to go over to the attack. It has decided, said Bulganin, to "strengthen most decisively the Warsaw Pact, whether the imperialists like it or not." The Soviet news agency Tass warned that "a new aggression against Egypt" would create "the direct threat of a broad military conflict." In Moscow last week, Hungarian Puppet Premier Janos Kadar reached an agreement to "strengthen the punitive side of the proletarian dictatorship" in Hungary. It was a decidedly truculent face the Russians had turned...

Syria was the most outspoken Arab country in acclaiming Soviet "intervention"' at the time of last November's Middle East ceasefire. When the Russians intervened with murder and treachery in Hungary, Syrian newspapers printed nothing but Tass accounts of what went on in Budapest.

But at the same time they would greatly like to meet the ordinary people working in factories and other enterprises . . . Apparently there are some forces in Britain who do not wish to permit wider contacts between Soviet leaders...
...Germans asked the Russians to incorporate both reservations in the communiqué. The Russians, as the Germans had anticipated, refused. So Adenauer put them out unilaterally for the record. The Russians briskly dismissed both. "The [Bonn] Republic is part of Germany," said an official statement distributed by Tass. "Another part of Germany is the [East] German Democratic Republic." Germany's borders were settled at Potsdam, the statement added. There the wartime Allies handed the territories east of the Oder-Neisse line to Poland, pending a final peace treaty...
