Excerpts from the speech of NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV
CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS, UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS
"The question of the state and social systems prevailing in this or that country is one to be
solved by each nation in the respective country. If you like capitalism, and I am sure that you
do, God's with you. Continue in your efforts, but take care, a new system has emerged. A system
that has started to tread on your heels
"So let us compete peacefully and build our relations so to increase the friendly ties
between us, on the basis of peaceful coexistence
"
Excerpt from the speech of RICHARD C. PATTERSON, JR.
COMMISSIONER OF COMMERCE AND PUBLIC EVENTS OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK
"We welcome Nikita S. Khrushchev to our city, and hope that here he will see the living proof
that peoples of all nations, races and creeds can dwell together in harmony. Understanding is
the catalyst through which this is accomplished
