Pravda Accuses U. S.
Of Retreat on Move
For 2-Nalion Parley
ty »h« A»eciat*d Pr»i
MOSCOW, May 14—Pravda
today accused the makers of
.American foreign policy of
beating a retreat after seeking
to soothe American public opin
ion by suggesting American
Russian conciliation talks.
The Communist Party organ de
clared that after Russia agreed to
such talks, President Truman and
Secretary of State Marshall an
nounced that American policy re
mained unchanged and that the
United States had no intention of
conducting bilateral parleys.
This was the first Russian edito
rial comment regarding the talks.
Pravda and other newspapers also
published a Tass News Agency dis
patch from New York charging that
the State Department had distorted
"the wording of the Soviet reply to
American Ambassador Walter Be
dell Smith.
War Psychosis Charged.
Pravda asserted that “the Ameri
can press does not make a secret
of the fact that a war psychosis ex
ists in the United States as a result
"Of a long, persistent campaign
launched by reactionaries.
“It has reached such a pitch late
ly,” the paper said, "that it lately
has put the ruling circles in the
United States in an awkward posi
tion. In these circumstances urgent
measures were required by them for
soothing public opinion.”
Pravda declared that the Ameri
can attitude regarding the talks
evoked criticism even in the con
servative American press.
Hie Tass dispatch said “the char
acter of these distortions speaks for
itself.”
Misquotation Charged.
It charged American newspapers
omitted a claim that "the entire
British, French and American press
openly say” the five-nation West
era European alliance “is directed
against the U. S. S. R.”
The agency declared the State
Department distributed a text which
misquoted the Russian government.
Delegates of Britain, France and
the three Benelux countries ap
proved in March a treaty which set
up a Western European union as a
block to communism.
Russia has taken a stand against
a Western Europe defensive alliance.
