This was comment on Macmil lan's reference to subjugation of Baltic states by the Soviet Union. But Pravda noted with ap proval that "the British govern ment intends to continue to seek an agreement with the , Russians." Scandinavian lands, in which many leaders. strongly favor new effortS to negotiate with Russia, did not impress their views im mediately. The.moit favorable impression seemed to have been made in West Germany. At Bonn, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer said he had received a good impression of Macmillan's call for a nonaggression pact and perhaps a summit meeting later., The Chancellor did not ex pand his remarks, but at a re ception at which he received congratulations on his 82d birth day he made what might have been a significant gesture. He went out of his, way to draw Russian Ambassador Andrei Smir nov aside _and chatted with him privately for 10 minutes. U.S. French and British envoys won dered what was being discussed. , There was speculation as to whether Adenauer was indeed, as _rumor had insisted, initiating a new political approach to Russia.
