Your Excellency


have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication
of July Z, 1851, and of the enclosed
resolution of the Congress of the
United States of America and tt
transmit to you a resolution o1
the Presidium of the Supreme So.
Wet of the Union of Soviet Social.
ist Republics.
This resolution expresses the
feelings of sincere friendship o1
the peoples of the Soviet Union to-
ward the peoples of the whole
world-it speaks of the fact that
the Soviet people is unified in Its
attempts to establish a stable
peace and to eliminate the threat
Of a new war.
The Soviet people has no basis
for doubling that the American
people also do not want war.
Forces Strive for War.
However. the Soviet people
know well that there exist in some
states forces which are striving tt
unleash a new world war, in which
the circles in question see the
source of their own enrichment
The peoples of the Soviet Union
believe that there will be no war |.
the peoples take into their owr
hands preservation of peace ano
defend 1t to the end, unmaskine
the attempts of those which have
interests in war and which are
trying to draw the people into an.
other war.
I share your opinion that q de-
sire for peace and brotherhood
exists in the hearts Of a majority
of people. Therefore. government,
which not with words but with
deeds are striving to supper
peace must encourage by every
means the peaceful strivings oi
their people.
The Soviet government assist.
in every way the unif1cation o1
the efforts of the Soviet people
fighting for peace with the effort!
of the peoples of other countries
1t Hospitality receives communi.
cations of peace from any country
and by every means contribute.
to the intercourse of the Sovier
people with the peoples of othe1
countries, placing no barriers ir
the path.
There is no doubt that friend
ship between peoples which is
mentioned in your communica-
ton pre-supposes the develop
ment of political, economic and
cultural relations and connections
between peoples on basis Of
equal rights. There is also no
doubt that a most important step
on this road must be the elimina-
tion of any discrimination with
regard to the Soviet Union on the
part of the American authorities
Duty to Preserve Peace.
The duty of all peace-loving
peoples consists in steadfastly
carrying on a policy of war pre-
and preservation of peace
of not permitting arms races, OF
attaining limitation of arnaments
and the prohibition of atomic
weapons with the establishment
of inspection over the implemen-
tation of such a prohibition, anC
of cooperating in the conclu.
sion of a five-power pact for the
strengthening of peace.
The conclusion Of such pac
would have an exceptionally i'm.
-portant significance in the i'm
provement of Soviet American re-
lations and the strengthening O
peace among peoples. Such a pac
would raise the confidence of al
peoples in the preservation o
peace and. moreover. would 'permi
the possibility of limiting arma
ments. of tightening the burdel
Iof military expenditures. which lii
with all their heaviness on tn
peoples shoulders.
In implementing the indicates
measures the American peopl
will always find full cooperation
lon the part of the Soviet. nennle
