Pictures on page 11: No, the “Lockheed U-2" was not an
inoffensive plane destined, as it was alleged, for meteprological

KHRUSHCHEV (continues): "When I read the North American
press, I noticed that, with the exception of the impudent bandits of the
. pen who justify this act, the great majority of those who write in the
North American press, and among them persons long recognized for
_ their scanty objectivity, are indignant about that fact and consider it
treacherous with respect to the Soviet Union. This is a good symptom.
If you, as journalists, inform society correctly about this incident
as any other one, it will be "digested" in the long run. Above all, we
must live in peace, but not only in peace, but also in friendship,
gentlemen.” (Applause).
Question: "Can we be optimistic with respect to the policy
of the United States
N. 5. KHRUSHCHEV: "] include myself among the incorrigsble
optimists. I do not consider the provocative flight of the North American
reconnaissance plane over our land a preparation of war, but
a calculation. ‘They have sounded us out’ and we have delivered a blow
“on the noses of the people ‘who sounded us out.‘ Some personalities _
in the United States are arming recklessly. It does not matter how
recklessly! The Soviet Union is not Guatamala. They cannot order
troops to our country. We have means which will calm the bandits
very mucx.if they want to apply their insolent recourses with respect
tous, If they work in that manner they will receive the necessary
tranquilizers,"
