P. M. No. 29/ 1959.
MEETING OF LEADERS.
Statement b the Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. R. G. Menzies C. H., Q. C., MP.
" This is very good news. Nothing but benefit can come
from meetings between the heads of government of the two most
powerful countries in the world," Mr. Menzies said today.
" The exchange of visits will not only reduce the current
tension but will also bring President Eisenhower and Mr.
Khruschev into direct and, one may hope, personal friendly
relations which will render a subsequent summit meeting easier
and more likely to succeed."
