businesslike discus sions with the West to end world controversies but makes it clear the Soviet Union is not retreating anywhere along the line of foreign policy The Russian reply to President Eisenhowers April 16 foreign pol icy speech was spread across the entire front page of Pravda in an editorial The text of Eisenhowers speech was printed inside The whole tone of the Pravda reply was argumentative but it was not vitu wpcrntive or belligerent It took issue with the president on several points and vigorously criticized State Secretary John Foster Dulles But at the same tlmc Pravda de clared The Soviet government will welcome any step of the Amer ican government or any other gov ernmtent if it is directed atthe friendly settlement of difficult questions This is evidence of the
