A Tass press Agency communique declared that the talks were held in a cordial party this is significantly cooler in tone than the usual unanimity of views or warm and Friendly discussions used to characterize harmonious meetings Between leaders of neighbouring communist states. Veteran Western sources placed a pessimistic interpretation on the dispatch saying it can leave Little doubt of serious disagreements be tween the Kremlin and Stanislaw Kama s leadership Over the Pace and direction of communist party political Reform moving Forward in Poland. Reports from Warsaw however suggested that the polish leadership stood its ground and defended the need for change in the talks with Suslov. Through their news Media and direct Central committee pressure that has recently come to Light in Warsaw the soviets have made bluntly Clear they Are unhappy with the liberalization process gaining momentum within the polish party. They also have voiced misgivings about Kama s failure to crack Down on the Solidarity Independent Union movement. One source said it is Likely that Suslov renewed Moscow s demand of Early this month that polish hardliners Ste fan Olszowski and Tadeusz Grabski must not be purged from the polish politburo in the upcoming Central com Mittee meeting next week. At the last committee session a few weeks ago the soviet Central committee was reported to have specifically intervened to preserve Olszowski and Grabski from being ousted by Moder ates and increasingly Strong liberals. It is unclear what form Suslov s demands thursday might have taken. But sources did not Rule out the possibility that the 78-year-old guardian of marxist orthodoxy who has been in Kremlin leadership positions since Sta Lin s last years was Tough and condemnatory of the poles. Foreign diplomats pointed out that the Tass communique lacked any direct expression of Confidence by Suslov and his group in the ability of Kania and polish Premier Wojciech Jaruzelski to preserve communist authority in Poland. Tass said the poles told the soviets of their efforts at overcoming the Conse reunited with son Rio de Janeiro a Ronald Biggs the great train robber who twisted the British lion s Tail one More time by escaping extradition from Barbados returned to his Bra Zilian Sanctuary yesterday As the self proclaimed happiest Man in the a crowd welcomed Biggs Back from Barbados where kidnappers had taken him a month ago.

I can t quenches of the departure from the principles of scientific socialism and at creating conditions for Poland s harmonious socialist and that the Moscow group expressed Soli Darity for the polish communists efforts to defend socialism and stabilize the socioeconomic situation to strengthen the party on the ideological basis of the thrust of the communique was to continue recent Kremlin indications that it is opening some distance be tween itself and Kania in recent weeks. The soviets have said Little about the subject of the upcoming polish party elections and the special party con Gress later this summer but they Are known Here to be deeply worried about it.

Alexander m. Haig jr., the Secretary opposed ending the embargo on the ground that it would Send a signal of weakness to the Kremlin. Reagan How Ever said yesterday he had made his decision Only when it was Clear that the soviets and other nations would not mistakenly think it indicated a weaken ing of our in a release by the White House Reagan stated i have determined that our position now cannot be mis taken the United states along with the vast majority of nations has condemned and remains opposed to the soviet occupation of Afghanistan and other aggressive acts around the world. We will react strongly to acts of aggression wherever they take place. There will never be a weakening of this the embargo was imposed in Jan uary 1980, by president Carter after the soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Reagan then campaigning for election immediately condemned the move saying it penalized american farm ers More than anyone. He promised to lift the embargo if elected. Once in office however he encountered a new crisis involving the soviets Poland left the embargo in effect while ordering a full review of the International situation. In the first few weeks of my presi Dency i decided that an immediate lifting of the sales limitation could be misinterpreted by the soviet Reagan said explaining the delay in meeting his Campaign pledge to the nation s Farmers. Reagan made his decision shortly before meeting his full Cabinet for the first time since he was shot outside the Washington Hilton hotel March 30. The announcement had been anticipated in news reports All week but its official timing enabled Reagan to present him self As again taking control of major events while steadily emerging from convalescence. Allied nations who to varying de Grees supported the embargo were informed earlier this week that the administration was considering ending it and were told yesterday the decision had finally been taken. Secretary of state Haig personally told soviet ambassador Anatoly f. Dobrynin of the consideration being Given to ending the embargo and a High ranking official said we have no immediate expectation As to How the world soviets will receive this. We will watch very carefully and Analyse very Haig opposed the imposition of the embargo As a Burden on american Farmers but once it was imposed he argued that to lift it without positive soviet acts would Send the wrong signal to both friends and enemies. While the Grain embargo is to be lifted other punitive actions ordered by president Carter in retaliation for the Afghanistan invasion will be retained including a ban on High technology sales and curtailment of soviet fishing privileges in the 320-Kilometre . Fishing zone. When the embargo was imposed it deprived the soviets of 17 billion tons of livestock feed Worth about billion to . Farmers. . Officials have since been monitoring the effect on the soviet Economy but have Given conflicting reports. Some have suggested a painful Impact and some have asserted the embargo was virtually useless. Rival superpower labelled greatest danger to peace Washington a barely an hour after president Reagan lifted the Grain embargo against the soviet Union state Secretary Alexander Haig pronounced the rival superpower the greatest danger to world peace and said the United states has both the right and duty to Stop Moscow s aggression. Haig declared the . Will never accept soviet intervention in countries such As Afghanistan the episode which prompted Forrler president Jimmy Carter to impose the embargo in 1980. And the . Must fulfil its International responsibility As a trustee of Freedom and Haig told the american society of newspaper Edi tors. Only the United states has the Pivot Al strength to convince the russians and their proxies that violence will not Advance their the Secretary of state said. Haig s harsh denunciation of the russians following a period in which rhetoric regarding the soviet Union had been muted appears to be signal that lifting the embargo should not be viewed by Moscow As a softening of the . Position. War by proxy while the United states believes in peaceful Resolution of disputes Haig soviet policy seeks to exploit aspirations for change in order to Cre ate conflict justifying the use of Force and even invasion. Moscow continues to support terrorism and War by War by proxy is a reference to the use of troops of other countries especially Cuba to carry out soviet Aims. It was Haig s first major Public speech since becoming state Secretary and most of it was devoted to denouncing the russians and detailing How the Reagan administration has reversed what he called the Carter administration s policy of strategic passivity toward soviet aggression. Focus of policy a major focus of american policy must be the soviet because of ideological preoccupation but simply because Moscow is the greatest source of International insecurity today. Let us be Plain about it soviet promotion of violence As the instrument of change constitutes the greatest danger to world Haig also gave the Reagan administration s foreign policy some credit for apparent soviet restraint toward Poland recently. Haig said the United states must make Clear to the soviet Union that aggressive and violent behaviour will threaten Moscow s own we have a right indeed a duty to insist that the soviets support a peace Ful International order that they abide by treaties and that they respect Reci Haig said. Soviet president Leonid Brezhnev has proposed a Summit meeting with president Reagan and Haig hinted that this might be possible if the rus sians behave.
