away at his campaign theme of
united America on the ground it is
restraining Russia.
The Republican presidential nomi-
nee also will continue to hammer at
the idea that this country can main
tain It's prosperity and thus meet
its economic commitments to West
ern Europe
Frieds of the New York Governor
said his closest adviser on foreign
affairs, John Foster Dulles, clinched
those decisions in giving Gov. Dewey
f1rst-hand report on relations with
the Soviet Union.
Gov. Dewey and Mr.. Dulles con-
ferred for more than three hours
yesterday about the world situation
Gov. Dewey said afterward they paid
special attention TO the grave prob
lens created by the policies of
Soviet Russia"
Dulles Calls Talks Satisfactory.
Mr.. Dulles. delegate to the United
Nations General Assembly, flew
home from Paris to discuss the
Berlin blockade crisis and other IN
ternational matters with the COP
candidate.
At La Guardia Field in New York
before his take of for Paris Mr..
Dulles told reporters:
Il got what l came for. namely.
Gov. Dewey's judgment on the many
different problems I am going back
to confront at Paris at the meeting
Of the United Nations"
He said his long talks with Gov.
Dewey were very satisfactory"
He added that he and Gov. Dewey
planned to keep in more or less"
daily contact by teletype machine
and telephone.
Gave Grim Picture.
Repeatedly mentioned as Gov
Dewey's choice for Secretary of
State if the Republicans win, Mr..
Dulles gave the Governor a grim
picture of American relations with
Russia.
Those in a position to know, but
who asked not to be named, said
Mr. Dulles told Gov. Dewey the sit
uation was more critical now than
ut any time since the war. They
said also that Mr. Dulles reported
that relations had deteriorated
rapidly during the last four months
But at the same time, he advised
Gov. Dewey. it was understood, that
his principal campaign thesis-a
unified America is the best assur-
ance of world peace-has had a
SOLDERING and restraining influence
on Russia.
Says Europeans Are Impressed.
All during the s.S00-mile cam
paign tour he completed Sunday,
Gov. Dewey kept saying that sg-
eressor nations should not mistake
election year debate for disunity
He said the campaign would serve
to make the United States stronger
than ever.
Mr.. Dulles was said to have told
Gov. Dewey that representatives of
Western European countries in
Paris were greatly impressed by
that.
The Russian story, according to
accounts of the Dulles report. was
that this country is headed for the
bust phase of a boom-and-b eco
nomic cycle. That was supposed to
make the United States a bad risk
with respect to the European Re
covery Program, and to put this
country on shaky ground in the for
eign policy field.
Mr.. Dulles, it was said, also re-
ported that Russia had been quoting
Americans in an effort to back up
what he termed Soviet claims. that
the United States is headed for
an economic collapse. The names
Of those Americans Gov. Dewey and
Mr.. Dulles kept secret.
Cat and Mouse Game.
Mr.. Dulles advised Gov. Dewey
It was said, that Russia seemed
to be playing a "cat-and-mouse'
game.
The pattern outlined to the Re-
publican nominee was that the So
Wet leaders seemed always to be
pretending to want an agreement
but backed away when the chips
were down.
The purpose of those tactics. Gov.
Dewey was told, is to keep tension
and fear alive in the free countries
of Europe to Offset American ef-t
forts to achieve economic recovery
there.
Gov. Dewey. in his brief state
ment, again put emphasis on the
theme that this country. despite
the campaign, is united on foreign
policy.
He did that in saying that Mr..
Dulles was returning to Paris to
continue his labors as a member
of the bipartisan delegation which
represents united America in the
United Nations"
