§ 46. Mr. Bartlettasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the advisability of paying a visit to Moscow so that, by frank talks with Marshal Stalin, he may discover how, and to what extent, Soviet preoccupations with security can be reconciled with our own.
§ The Prime MinisterAs I said in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Upton (Mr. A. Lewis) on 13th March, I am ready to adopt any means likely to improve relations between the Great Powers. However, since the Security Council of the United Nations is now holding a meeting in New York, I do not consider that it would be advisable for me to make a proposal of such far-reaching importance to Marshal Stalin at the present time.
