i know that any time I oc-

4 LTHOUGH the four-power
conference AZ Dumbarton
Oaks has been described a
purely exploratory, great deal
Is Al stake in the proceedings.
Mistakes made in this initial
stage will not be easily undone
IN later stages.
The conference. il is Indicated,
Will direct its explorations es-
pecially toward ways and means
OF curoing Germany and Japan.
The overall objective Is 10. pre-
vent any future revival OF these
aggreSSor nations AS military
powers.
II should be recalled, there
fore. that an analogous problem
existed after World War ] and
that it was similarly discussed
by the victorious countries
At that time we failed The
aggressor country. Germany,
was able TO restore its military
might. Looking backward. we
can detect at least one i'm
portant reason for the failure.
That reason, il seems TO me,
is that all the emphasis was
on the political and diplomatic
aspects of the problem and not
enough on the professional tech
biological aspects.
In curbing Germany the VIC
tors were simply wrong in bas-
ing action on existing weapons
and strategic possibilities, while
Ignoring new weapons an d
emerging strategic poteHtials.

on the future picture unless the
