Great National Debate
On Issues Is Healthy,
Dulles Tells Hoover
Aoheson Adviser Sorry
Thut Speech Is Labeled
Reply to Ex-President
By Gornett D. Homer

John Foster Dulles, Republican
consultant to Secretary of State
Acheson. today telegraphed former
President Herbert Hoover that he
thinks it is very healthy to have
a great national debate upon the
grave issues of our time"
Mr.. Dulles told Mr.. Hoover he
was sorry that a speech he will
make in New York tomorrow night
is being featured in the press as
a reply" to the former President.
although ''the point of view I shall
express may be somewhat differ
ent from yours"
Mr.. Dulles will defend BIZ
partisan foreign policies in a
speech tomorrow night at a dinner
of the American Association for
the United Nations in New York.
His address will be broadcast over
the Mutual network from 8 to
$50 pm.
Collective Security Stressed.
A State Department spokesman
told reporters yesterday that Mr..
Dulles would emphasize that the
threat of war with Russia can be
surmounted by pursuing policies
of collective security which will
not involve our retreat into an
area defense of our own CONT
nent."
This view obviously is in con-
f1ict with that eXpounded by Mr..
Hoover in a speech last week when
he urged that the United States
concentrate its defenSeS in this
hemisphere and stop sending
money and troops to Western Eu-
rope until the nations there build
for themselves an effective de-
fense against Russia.
The State Department refused
to describe Mr.. Dulles scheduled
talk as a reply to MI. Hoover.
But the Associated Press reported
from New York that a spokesman
for the American delegation to
the United Nations said the
speech will reply to the Hoover
address.
Some Agreement Expected.
In his telegram to Mr.. Hoover
today, Mr.. Dulles said:
The point of view I shall ex-
press may be somewhat different
from yours, but agree with much
that you said and I hope and eX-
pect that you will agree with
much that I say"
AS a United Nations delegate
and close associate of Gov. Dewey
of New York and Senator VAN
denberg, Republican of Michigan,
Mr.. Dulles has taken a leading
part in developing bipartisan for
eign policies as represented by
the North Atlantic treaty and the

Peace Prize Winner
Cites Need of Power to
Stop Any Aeeressor

The military power of the
United Nations must be built UP
to provide an overwhelming force
to crush aggression in the future,
DR.. Ralph j. Bunche said today.
DR.. Bunche. chairman of the
U. N. Trusteeship Council, told the
opening session of the American
Political Science Association the
lesson of Korea shows that Sin
the future the U. N. must have
such military strength to be able
to meet any aggression speedily
and conclusively."

available last June, the Korean
crisis never would have developed,
he said. For the future the U. N.
must be backed by Sufficient
armed strength to assure that
right will prevail" DR.. Bunche
said.

The speaker warned, however
that II am by no means certain
that there is yet enough vision
and courage among member ma
tions" to see that such a force
will be made available.
DR.. Bunche declared "the fail
ure of the U. N. and war or sue
cess of the U. NJ and peace are
the sole prospects today" He
added that although peace is
proving to be most illusive," he
nevertheless believes that "wal
will not come" He added, how
ever, Il admit this may be feel

speak with all the stops out" he
said. Others, such as those
working in the U. NJ, believe that
their primary mission is to "solve
differences rather than air them
and to work quietly out of the
public eye."
The present weakness Of the
U. N, DR.. Bunche said, is due
largely to complacency, common
to all nations during time of
peace. Notwithstanding the veto

have been ready. provided with
the necessary popular support, to
