RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA
NEW U.S. APPROACH NOT FAVOURED MR TRUMAN SPEAKS ON POLICY WASHINGTON, February 23. President Truman said to-day that lie saw no reason for a new direct approach to Russia to end the cold war between East and West. He saw -no sign of any new peace feelers from Russia. The United States had made every approach possible to Russia through the United Nations and other diplomatic channels in an effort to reach some agreement, and had been unable to do so, said Mr Truman. The proponents 6f a direct approach to Russia were looking for something highly dramatic and some great showpiece to end the matter. He did not think agreement could be reached in that way.
Mr Truman said he had made the point very clear in his foreign policy address yesterday, when he said the United Nations was the proper forum to discuss such problems as atomic control. That speech was a statement of the bipartisan foreign policy of the United States.
