In this Weekly Press Review, a Radio Moscow reporter recounts recent media coverage on: the signing of a defense treaty between North Korea and the Soviet Union, opposition to a peace treaty with Germany by the "western propaganda machine", a conference on higher education in Moscow, a nuclear test ban, Soviet reaction to the death of Ernest Hemingway, and fighter planes belonging to the US and other NATO countries threatening to collide with Soviet merchant ships.

The reporter also discusses a recent editorial on the anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence and how, "...certain influential circles in the United States, seek to abandon the best traditions of the American people. By word, deed and even force, they try to prevent the nations from deciding their own destiny and establishing a government system of their own choice."
