‘TALKS NOT NEEDED’
Wilson Visit Discounted (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, July 8. The British Communist Party newspaper “Morning Star” today reported from Moscow that nobody there was going to talk about Vietnam to the British Prime Minister, Mr Harold Wilson, during his visit to the Soviet capital from July 16 to 18. The newspaper’s correspondent, Peter Tempest, said Soviet sources had told him Mr Wilson's position on Vietnam was very well known, that it had not changed and so there was no need for discussions with him. The report was headlined “We won’t play, say Soviet,” and said that Mr Wilson’s expectations of talks with Soviet leaders on restarting the 1954 Geneva conference on IndoChina were dismissed in Moscow as "absolutely nil.” The “Morning Star” yesterday first broke the news that Mr Wilson planned to visit Moscow later this month to attend the British industrial exhibition there, and planned to hold talks on Vietnam with Soviet leaders.
