26. If, in the course of, say, the coming year, the tentative approaches of the Soviet Union towards the easing of world tension are continued; if, perhaps, they gain momentum; if, in particular, we see signs that carry conviction to us that the Soviet ambitions to communize the world have given place to some less offensive and less all-embracing objective, then I believe that the Soviet Union is likely to get real reciprocity. We, for our part, have every right to remember that, while tactics may change, the repeatedly stated ultimate objective of communism is the communizing of the world. Perhaps I may be allowed to quote the old Biblical warning: “By their fruits ye shall know them.”
