Though the trip is labeled "unofficial," Nixon-highest-ranking U.S. official to visit the U.S.S.R. since Franklin Roosevelt went to Yalta in 1945-will probably be accorded a typical Khrushchev welcome at the Kremlin, particularly if a summit conference is imminent. But chances are that Nixon would not attend the summit conference, since the President is reluctant to have both himself and the Vice President out of the country at the same time...
Beyond the Summit. From Yalta in 1945 to Geneva in 1955. the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. have made over-the-conference-table agreements. A "major missing element in our agreements with the Soviet leaders has been any provision as to how disputes about the meaning of the agreements could be decided." That same problem, said he, presents itself as the free world moves toward the summit on Berlin...
...Teheran and Yalta, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill gave their approval to the idea of "moving Poland West," and when the Polish government in exile demurred, Churchill bluntly told the House of Commons that henceforth Poland "must honestly follow a policy friendly to Russia." When protests were raised over Polish plans to expel the entire German population of the "recovered territories"-between 4,800,000 and 5,800,000 Germans were ultimately driven out of the area, mostly to West Germany-Labor Party Leader Clement Attlee declared that the Germans "are not entitled to appeal on the basis of moral...
...many bitter years since Yalta, it seems there are those who still do not fully realize that each successful Communist aggression breeds another.

...illusory accord which would come out of it, euphemistic statements corroborating the U.S.S.R.'s peaceful intent. It is possible, and even probable, that the U.S. would agree to the issuance of public statements of this nature, if only to satisfy the "solutionist" optimism of the American people. As at Yalta, it might seem necessary for the Government to reach agreement for agreement's sake, to underscore the positive value of negotiation, even at the expense of future American policy. At Geneva in 1956 what at first appeared to be hopeful accord resulted ultimately in reduced alternatives for U.S. policy...
