Better knowledge leads to understanding

(Prime Minister Trudeau’s reply to
toast by Premier Kosygin)

Mr. Premier, your remarks have
touched me- more than words can say.
I am delighted to experience once
again the warmth of Soviet hospital-
ity. At the same time, however, I must
confess to a feeling of ironic pleasure
at being your guest in these hallowed
halls. If any ghosts are listening, how
astonished they must be, whether they
can understand us or not!

Your stay among us, Mr. Premier,
will be for many Canadians an oppor-
tunity to realize anew the contribu-
tions your country has made to our
culture. Your great writers and com-
posers are well known to us; both in
our education and in our pleasures,

they occupy a place of honor. Our ap-
preciation of them goes beyond mere
admiration; such intimacy is evidence
of basic affinities, among others a
sense of physical grandeur and quiet
intellectual enjoyment. The simple
evocation of a spring or fall by
Chekhov, or a melody by Moussorgsky,
calls forth sympathetic responses from
the Canadian spirit.

As their works were translated, we
came to know your authors; the works
of your great composers have been
performed in our country since the
turn of the century; for more than
50 years your performers and musi-
cians have been acclaimed from coast
to coast in Canada, and in recent years
their visits have become more fre-

results for our two countries. .
