Why EAST EUROPE Looks West - Raymond F McNair - September 1969

Raymond F McNair

The signs throughout Eastern Europe are unmistakably clear - the Iron Curtain is rusting away. But why? Why did Romania's Ceausescu recently invite President Nixon, leader of the West, to visit his Communist country? What is happening on Russia's front doorstep? Bucharest, Romania. Few in the West grasped the full import of Mr. Nixon's recent trip to Romania. Few realize the reason for the very warm reception which he received from the leaders and the common peoples of Romania. The very fact that President Nixon was invited to Romania by Ceausescu, their Communist leader, is most significant. And the very fact that Mr. Nixon felt free to accept the invitation should wake us up. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
