Universal Newsreel - JFK comments on plans laid out by E Germany, USA; 1961
Newsreel of a press conference where President John F. Kennedy 'outlines the West's reply to Khrushchev's threats to sign a peace treaty with East Germany. "A city does not become free merely by calling it a free city. For a city or a people to be free requires that they be given the opportunity without economic, political or police pressure to make their own choice and live their own lives. The people of West Berlin today have that freedom. It is the objective of our policy that they will continue to enjoy it. A peace treaty that adversely affects the lives and rights of millions will not bring peace with it... we again urge the Soviet government to reconsider its cause to return to the path of constructive cooperation it so frequently states it desires, and to work with its World War II allies in concluding a just and enduring settlement of issues remaining from that conflict."' Washington DC, USA; 19th July 1961. (Universal Newsreel_Episode 1961 – ABMA707K)
