London, Dec. 22.
The statements on East-West relations made last week before the Supreme Soviet by top-ranking' Soviet leaders will be taken into account when Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, answers Soviet Premier, Nikolai Bulganin's letter, probably at the beginning of January, sources close to the Govern- mont stated today.
It is expected that the seven- point resolution approved by the Supreme Soviet will be handed to the Western Powers, in which ease these points will also be taken into account in Macmillan's reply.
The sources said that reports reaching here did not clearly in- dicate that Forcigh Minister; Andrel Gromyko, had rejected cutright the Neto proposals for a Foreign Ministers' conference.
