vigorous action with our allies and
when through the airlift and the
powerful forward policy which we
adopted in Germany, it became not
to the advantage of Soviet foreign
policy to continue its obstruction
it stopped its obstruction.
Thus what I want to stress here
lis that agreements with the Soviet
Union are useful when those agree
ments register. or record an existing
situation of fact, but otherwise they
are not of much use.
So it has been our basic policy
to build situations which will extend
the area of possible agreement, that
is, to create strength instead of the
weakness which exists in many
quarters. 1t has, therefore, been
our policy in Germany to try and
restore the economy of Germany
to try and get the German people
in a situation where they look for
ward with hope to becoming again
an important part of the Western
European community. That has
always been the purpose of the
occupation in Japan as far as the
Asiatic side of the world is con-
cerned.
In another area the whole pur-
pose OF the economic recovery pro-
gram in Western Europe is to
create strength instead of weak
ness in that area.
Now this road is very long one
and a very difficult one. 1t takes

more than almost anything else,
very steady nerves.
Growing out of the last war and
other conditions before the war and
between the wars there have been
created all over. the world situations
of weakness. Every time one of
those situations exists, and they
exist in Asia and they exist in
Europe, 1t is not only an invitation
but an irresistible invitation for
the Soviet government to fish in
those troubled waters. To ask them
not to fish and to say we will have
an agreement that you won't fish
lis like trying to deal with a force
OF nature. You can't argue with a
river, it is going to flow. Il y But
so far as agreement per agreement
is concerned, l think we have dis
covered that even the. simplest
thing growing out of the war, which
is to make peace, perhaps not with
your enemies but at least with your
friends, has become impossible.
We have tried for years to get a
treaty with Austria; it hasn't been
possible. We made no progress on
getting a treaty with Germany. We
can't even get a forum with the
Soviet Union to discuss a treaty
with Japan. So, as I say, the avenue
to pursue. the road toward reach
Ing the goals which are referred to
in these speeches is this long and
difficult one.
Now many people are troubled,
and rightly troubled, because. of the
possibility that there may be de-
veloped new and very terrible
weapon. That is proper and sober
response to this very serious fact.
But wish to draw your attention
to the other fact, that the existence
of this possibility does not change
the facts which I have just been
discussing with you. I" y
When the time comes that the
Russian people can examine them
selves and criticize themselves and
examine the course of their govern
ment and criticize that government,
then we will be very much closer to
these two goals that were discussed
in the Senate.
Not by way of criticism in any
way, I think that we should be
careful to see that our self-exam-
ination and self-criticism does not
60 to the point where it becomes
self-reproach.
We must remember always that
the road to peace is long and diff
cult in the world as it is today.
But we must never waiver in pur-
suing that goal, we must never for
moment doubt the possibility of
achieving it.

Strength Is Key to Peace, Acheson Says

A policy of working for world
peace by building strength that
Russia will have to respect and
not wasting time seeking any
shortcut on the long and diff
cult road was laid down by Sec
retary of State Acheson yester-
day.
Ruling out any dramatic new
gestures to Moscow now for dis
armament or atomic energy con-
troll, Mr.. Acheson said experience
has shown ''it is not possible" to
achieve peace merely by making
agreements with Russia.
He emphasized that agreements
with the Soviet are useful" only
when they record existing situa-
tions of Western strength.
Mr.. Acheson spoke Informally
from handWritten notes at his
weekly news conference. The
State Department later made
available a transcript of his re-
marks. A partial text follows:
In considering how we 60 down
this road toward the achievement of
peace, think what we have to do is
to understand first of all the nature
OF the Russian government with
which we have to deal and the ma
ture of the world within which we
have to deal with it and 1 am sure
that it is clear to you that the out
standing characteristic of the So
Wet government is its purposeful-
ness. 1t is determined to reach
certain results which its wants very
much to reach.
What we have observed over the
last few years is that the Soviet
government is highly realistic and
we have seen time after time that
1t can adjust itself to facts when
facts exist. We have seen also that
agreements reached with the Soviet
government are useful when those
agreements register facts or a stu
alton which exists and that they
are not useful when they are
merely agreements which do not
register the existing facts.
We had all sorts of agreements
with the Soviet government as to
our right to be in Berlin, the pur-
poses for which we were in Berlin,
and our right of transit through
the Soviet area to and from Berlin.
All those matters were clear but
when it suited the purpose of the
Soviet government to interfere by
force with our access to Berlin, it
did not hesitate to use that force

Vannevar Bush Sees
No Trick Defense ,.
Against Atom Bomb
BY J. A. OLeory

DR.. Vannevar Bush, who played
leading role in development of
new weapons in the last war, said
today there is mo trick defense"
against atomic bombs.
He told reporters the defenses
against an atom bomb are the
same ones that would be used
against any other bomb, namely,
efforts to shoot down the plane
carrying it, or to go after the plant
manufacturing it.
The wartime scientist, who is
now head of the Carnegie Institu-
ton OF Washington, was cIoseted
with the Senate Armed Services
Committee for several hours this
morning. Although he answered
questions of newSmen about
atomic defenses, he said nothing
about the subject of his closed
session with the committee.
Modern Warfare Discussed.
Chairman Tydings said DR.. Bush
gave us brief but very concise
account of modern warfare and
what has beeneand is being done"
Reporters asked if atomic or
hydrogen bombs came into the
secret conference.
only in very general way"
Senator Tydings said.
Senator Tydings said DR.. Bush
recommended more research and
development because the whole
field of research is going forward
more intensely than ever before"
Discussed H-Bomb 3 Years Ago.
Senator Bricker, Republican, of
Ohio, member of the Joint
Atomic Energy Committee, in
formed reporters that DR.. Bush
told members of that committee
three years ago about the possibil-
tiles of an H-bomb.
DR.. Bush said later he may have
done that but he is sure he did
not tell them everything that has
come to light recently.
During the war DR.. Bush was
head of the Office of Scientific
Research and Development. Prais-
ing the work of scientists at that
time, DR.. Bush said that although
there were 10000 persons con-
nected with that research pro-
gram, he did not have a single
case of a disloyal scientist during
the entire war. He said there were
only a few cases of carelessness
involving no disloyalty.
Meanwhile, members of Con-
gress voiced hope that President
Truman soon will fill the two
vacancies about to occur on the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Commission Chairman David E.
Lilienthal, who resigned in De-
cember, is due to step out Febru-
ary Is, and former Admiral Lewis
l.. Strauss has submitted his
resignation as an Acc member
effective April Is.
The recent decision to go for
ward with work on the hydrogen
bomb has made members of the
House-Senate Atomic Energy
Committee conscious of the i'm
portance of avoiding any delay in
naming the new commissioners.
II is probable President Tru-
man will be asked about the ap-
pointments at his press confer
ence late today. But Press Secre-
tary Charles G. Ross said no de-
cision has been reached on Mr..
LilienthaFs successor

British Want 10 Buy
Surplus Eggs if RFC
Makes Price Riqht
BY the Associoted Press

Senator Ebert D. Thomas
Democrat, of Utah said today that
Britain is interested in buying
some of the 100000 pounds OF
dried eggs which the Government
has placed on the giveaway list.
Senator Thomas statement to 9
reporter followed by only a few
hours a Government announce
ment that the eggs and 10000
900 pounds of dried milk are to be
given away for welfare purposes
in this country only.
Senator Thomas made public 9
letter from William Foster, acting
administrator of the Economic Co.
operation Administration, which
said that the United Kingdom has
indicated a willingness to spend
about 100000 for dried eggs
but has been unable to reach ar
agreement with the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corp, on a price.
20,90O,0O0 Pounds.
The total United States egg
stock, Mr.. Foster said, would rep,
resent about two years supply fol
Great Britain and Ireland. The
British would. however, take about
100000 pounds "if a satisfac.
tory price could be arranged"
Britain, Mr.. Foster said, want.
to pay no more than $3,000,000
while the RFC has not been will.
ing to consider "a bargain price
on less than the full stock.
The RFC wants 40 cents q
pound for the 2o,000,OOO- pound
lot, he said, which would be only
$1,000,000 less than the tota
amount which Britain has agreed
to spend in this country fol
perishables.
The eggs and milk, purchased
in 1948 and 1949 under the price
support program, cost the Gov
ernment around 100000.
Under provisions of the Agri-
culture Act of 1949, these sur
pluses may be given to needy peo-
pie if the food is in danger of
spoilage.
They will be offered to the
school lunch programs, the Bu-
reau of Indian Affairs and to well
fare agencies. Agencies receiving
them must pay only the cost of
transportation from storage ware
houses.
The Agriculture Department
started its surplus food giveaway
program last month with an "un-
limited" amount of potatoes.
These, however, were made avail
able for relief purposes both in
this country and abroad.
The announcement on milk and
eggs said that these commodities
would have to be distributed en-
tirely in this country.
The dried milk offered is in
drums or barrels weighing $50 to
200 pounds each. This means
welfare agencies will have to
package the product in small lots
for distribution.
In the case Of the eggs, how
ever. some 25,ooo.00o pounds are
available in 56-pound cases, each
containing four 14-pound cartons.
