77. The leaders of the Soviet Union and the leaders of the Western world have repeatedly gone on record during recent months that a way to the peaceful settlement of all disputes is not out of the question at the present moment. This view is shared by leaders throughout Asia, particularly by Mr. Nehru. We are entering, therefore, a historic period of fundamental negotiation, whether this negotiation takes place through ordinary diplomatic channels, or through debates m the United Nations, or through conferences about the Far East or Europe, or through informal exchange of ideas at the dinner table. The communist and non-communist worlds seem to be in the mood of probing each other for a more interesting mode of existence than the cold war. 78. There are three general orders of disagreement that must be tackled: the military-political order, the disarmament order, and the ideological order.
