In an article on the Secretary of State and his dpo
matte policies, us. News & World Report said, "Mr.
Acheson is highlyregarded lawyer careful diplomat
and poor potcan...Honesty, to Mr. Acheson,is the
only policy Evidence of word violated agreement
ignored is danger sign to Principles rank just
high with him. To this Secretary the troubles between
the u S. and Russia matters of prncipe-of good
Ievil."
Not all of Mr.. Acheson's defenders and detractors-
and there many of each-w agree with this but it
lis probably fair judgment be reached And
certainly in with the speeches the Secretary
has been making effort acquant the public with
the for his international strategy What perhaps
the most important of the speeches made in mid
March at the University of California in connection with
the Conference International Cooperation for World
Economic Development.
In this talk the Secretary dealt in both general and
specific terms with the major tensions that exist be-
tween the United States and the Soviet Unonhe tensions
which threaten the peace and possibly the very life of the
world. He said that there be moral compromise
follow from this that the two systems theirs and
cannot exist concurrenty in this world Good and evil
human it also does not follow from this coeis
Of good and evil that the two systems theirs and
will necessarily be able to exist concurrenty That
! will depend largely on them...."
Then Mr.. Acheson dealt with separate points of

of elections in the satellite states in which the true will OF
the people could be expressed"
Third the Soviet leaders should drop their policy OF
obstruction in the United Natonsas shown by Soviet

Fourth, the Soviet leaders could join the U.s. to find

an outward state of friendship and respect"
Sixth, the Soviet leaders could cooperate in properly
treating diplomatic representatives OF present poces
he sad "When find representatives treated
i as criminals when great official propaganda
machines reterang that they sinister people and that
contact with them is pregnant with dangerwe cannot
believe that such nsinuatons advanced in good faith
and cannot be blind to the obvious implications OF SUCH
an attitude
Seventh the Soviet leaders could refrain from deliber
