The US Government have now informed\nme fully of these exchanges. The House will have seen the\ndocuments published in the press, as well as President\nTruman's statement and I have no additional information.\nNaturally, I have to give careful thought to all that\noccurs in the international field, but at present I would\nprefer not to make any statement, although I would like to\nremind the House that HMG always have been and remain\nanxious for a general solution on a world~wide basis, if\nthat is possible. In view, however, of the references to\nthe European Recovery Program and to the Five Power Treaty\nby the Soviet Government, I wish to make it clear that\nnothing that has happened can affect the development and\nexecution of those policies, which, as I explained to the\nHouse in my speech of May 4, are not directed against anyone,\nbut are legitimate developments necessary alike for our own\nand European prosperity and security. \"\nSupplementary questions\n\"Mr. Lipson: Will the Foreign Secretary make it clear that\nhe welcomes these exchanges between representatives of the\nGovernments of the Soviet Union and the United States of\nAmerica?\nMr. bevin\nPLAIN\n=\nthe\nINFORMATION COPY"
