    "ocrText": "DESTRICTED\nWhile Communist radios rely on conventional propaganda concerning\nBritain's alleged subservience to the United States, Western-oriented\nradios cover a wide range of topics in speculating on the discussions\nbetween the two leaders. Among the issues mentioned are the Korean war,\nuse of atomic weapons, defense of the Suez canal, the European army, and\n\"the two Chinas.\"\nSHORT-LIVED \"SQUALLS\": In common with most of the West European\npress, London papers note the cordial reception given the Prime Minister.\n\"Predicted squalls,\" the DAILY TELEGRAPH says, \"are likely to be contra-\ndicted by events. II The MANCHESTER GUARDIAN, observing that Mr. Truman\nfaces one of the busiest weeks of the year, apart from Mr. Churchill's\nvisit, is of the opinion that \"it will be no wonder if Mr. Truman fights\nshy of any novelties which Mr. Churchill may have to propose to him, if\nthey do not seem likely in themselves to accord with the mood of the\nAmerican people. 11\nEuropean union is uppermost in the minds of most West Germans, according\nto Ostry, speaking over the Vienna Red-White-Red network. In the view of\nthis commentator, what is wanted is a \"united continent with free and in-\ndependent states. The present Anglo-American discussions mark an\nimportant progress in that direction.\"\nThe Rome LA STAMPA believes that \"any success Churchill may achieve\nin Washington will be an exclusively British and not a European success. =\nThe Communist L'UNITA says that the first subject to be discussed by the\ntwo leaders will be the war in Korea, and Truman and Churchill will not\nfind it easy to agree on a common course regarding Korea. L'ITALIA thinks\nthat Mr. Churchill will try to convince the President that Britain should\nbe a co-director in the management of Atlantic policy, but it hoped that\nthe President \"will not fall into this trap.\"\nPointing out that Mr. Churchill's true intentions \"remain as\nmysterious as before,\" Adalbert de Segonzac speculates in FRANCE-SOIR\nthat Mr. Truman will be asked to agree to prior consultation regarding use\nRESTRICTED"
