ete prin ; POLS Helge i eee ae area f be ¥ Lge Ry 1 Ka aie wes . N. S. KHRUSHCHEV: “I would not like to be in the situation which _has produced itself for Mr. EISENHOWER. I would not want to receive the questions which he might be asked when he arrives in the Soviet t Union. I can tell you one thing: Soviet people and our society are very, © > courteous; therefore, there will’ not be any excesses, but there will be plenty questions asked of the President, (Animation , laughter) a "Tl would say that the President was aided in this respect particularly _ by one man: Mr. HERTER, “During his press conference, HERTER made a bandit's declaration. He not only considered himself not culpable and ashamed of these acts of aggression, but he even justified them and stated that they would be continued in the future. Countries in a state of war cannot operate better; we are not at war with North America. These acts of aggression and the declaration of HERTER are an insolence, an insolence! "HERTER! s declaration has made us doubt the correctness of our previous conclusions that the President and the North American Government had not been informed of these flights. The declaration made by HERTER precisely demonstrates that the reconnaissance plan had been ratified by the Government. Obviously, the North Americans had to make that kind of a statement because otherwise they would have had to place the responsibilities on ALLEN DULLES and DULLES, on his part, would have revealed the Government, saying that he had fulfilled a plan which was ratified by the Government and, consequently, sanctioned by the chief of the Government. I rest upon the declaration made by HERTER. “At other times, as I remember from my youth, many delinquents were roaming about who were not registered by the police and elements suspected of anything. Among the brigands it was the custom to proceed as follows: An.honorable : man walks on a path and crosses a small “bridge. Under.the bridge was a bandit with a small child, Sent by the highwayman, the little child approaches the passer-by and says - to him: “Sir, give me the watch!"' He answers: “What's that? Get away from here!" The child replies: "What do you mean? The watch is mine."- At the height of the dispute, the armed bandit appears and says to the passer-by: “Why do you abuse the child? ‘You had better give him his watch and get going!" (Laughter)
