Drums Of Soviet Hate
Are Still RoIIinq

The first fact-whose outline
we must clearly make out
through this thick fog of
rhetoric-is the crucial matter
of ultimate Soviet purpose.
What is it? In the words of
Stain, it is the old and i'm
placable chant; "in order to de-
stroy the inevitability of wars, it
is necessary to destroy imperial
ism" For this announcement
no Interpretation Is necessary.
other than to note that the
word imperialism" is standard
Soviet shorthand for democracy
in general and for the United
States in particular.
I stress this fact because
out of all of Stalin's $4,000
words-these few are likely to
receive least attention for the
simple reason that their sound
is familiar. The drums of Soviet
hate are still rolling for the same
old enemy. America is still
marked with indelible invective
as Communism's final and
greatest victim to be. In the
grim and candid prophecy of
Lenin: "A series of frightful
clashes between the Soviet Re-
public and the Bourgeois state
is inevitable in the end
a funeral requiem will be sung
either over the Soviet Republic
or over world capitalism"
A second fact, scarcely less
important, is this: While the
purpose of Soviet policy remains
Steadfastly- the same, it's plan
for action is always undergo
ing revision. The consistency
in Soviet behavior-we have
long known-does not come
from the neat. precise. adher-
ence to a straight line. It comes
from a meticulously measured
zigzagging back and forth, to
right and to left-to achieve a
result carefully calculated and
balanced. This. again, is ven-
cradle Soviet practice, as Lenin
described it bluntly in 1920:
I'VE have to use any ruse.

Must Salute ItoIy's
Magnificent Recovery

With Italy, we must salute a
defeated and impoverished ma
tion's magnificent recovery from
not only military defeat but
from the sly temptations of in
tellectual cynicism and political
neutralisln. We must marvel at
this residence, especially in a
nation that for centuries has
been the European cockpit Of
invading armies. Most impor-
family, we must resolve this: We
must strike from our own
statute books any legislation
concerning immigration that
implies the blasphemy against
democracy that only certain
groups of Europeans are well
come on American shores.
With Japan and Germany
our defeated enemies in World
War live face, of course, a
legion of special problems. They
demand infinite patience and
uncommon good sense on both
sides. Perhaps the keenest of
these problems are the acute
economic dilemmas these two
countries must face. Both have
lost-behind the Iron Curtain
markets that, in past decades,
now gone forever, were vital 10
each. In the case of Germany,
the great market of Southeast
ern Europe has been chained to
the Soviet economy. In the case
OF Japan, its unequaled market
in China has become Commu-
mist territory. For in the long
run. these two facts pose huge
problems. We must not wait for
the long run to have elapsed

Deal of Unity Has
Two-FoId MEANING

To Americans today, this
ideal, in Its fullest dimensions,
has a two-fold meaning. It
means our own national unity.
It also means our unity of pur-
pose with the whole free world.
Unity of our own people i'm
plies a host of great tasks and
duties. It demands-on all
fronts and in all senses-the
keeneSt guard against divisive
propaganda, the Sternest watch
against divisive prejudice. It
demands a true fellowship of
peoples of all religious beliefs
and of all national origins. It
demands a true attack upon
any barriers in our national life
that mark off one group of citi-
Zens from all others. It de-
mands a true cleansing from
our hearts of the faintest stains
OF racial and religious preju-
dice. There is no such thing
as just little bigotry, just
a little hate. In thiS-free-
dom's day of decision-our unity
must be beyond all doubt, above
all compromise.
Unity with our allies in the
free world imposes tasks just as
explicit. Here the sharpest
questions bluntly challenge us.
Have we the vision to triumph
over the temptations of eco
nomic nationalism and to well
come full, equitable trade
with our allies? Have we the
patience to check our tempers
when some of our allies seem
to be quibbling petulantly or
foolishly temporizing in their
defense programs?
The answers to such uues-
tionS must be resounding, yes.
The spirit of these answers
must govern all our. relations
with all those people whom we
ask and expect to stand fast
and, if need be, shoulder
arms-for freedoms sake. These
people need our patient and
comprehending leaderShip-no
less than we need and expect
their full devotion to our COM
mon cause.
With Britain. we must re-
member that it has demanded
both great dignity and great
wisdom far a proud nation TO
adjust SO swiftly to it's recent
loss of financial and imperial
strength. We must-even as
we argue firmly against
Britain's reluctance to enter

arrangements-Still show UNDER

Partial Text Of Eisenhowers Address at Smith Memorial Dime

NEW YORK, Oct. H-The
tolloUing is a partial tert of
Gen. Eisenhower'S address at
the Alfred E. Smith Memorial
Foundation dinner. Waldorf
Astoria Hotel, here last night:
We Americans have been
deeply stirred these last months

ment. in its best form. is a sure
sign Of health in a democracy.
The pulse Of freedom must. race
fast once in while, when a
peoples interest in its own deS-
tiny remains quick. keen and
lively.
This is all in the national
good. Ours would be a sickly
democracy-sluggish with age
and complacence-if we did not
debate great issues with honest
zeal. Any enemy that processes
to find comfort in this fact
confesses his ignorance of de-
mocracy's true strength.
Yet-in today's tight, tense
world-we cannot allow our
selves to become totally preoc-
cupied even with this exhilarat-
ing display Of democracy at
home and at work. In these
very weeks, decisions and events
of special moment and meaning
have been shaping themselves
at distant point on our globe.
So grave are they. I believe,
that all thoughtful Americans
of all parties and persuasion
should pause to analyze these
events. to discern-if possible
their significance for our safe

ture.
am speaking. of course. Of
the Communist Congress that
convened just II days ago under
the Kremlin's powers in Mos
cow and adjourned just 48, hours
ago.
Some 1900 delegates and re-
presentatives from the Soviet
and from A other countries met
in the great hall of the Kremlin.
This-the 18th Congress of the
Communist Party Of the Soviet
Union-was the first such as
sembly since 1899. 1t was the
largest assembly of Communist
leaders ever met together-at
any time, in any place.
The torrent of words has been
formidable. Stain anticipated
the Congress a few days by pub
fishing a 25,000-word essay
bringing Soviet economic doc
trine up to date. Malenkov read
the Communist Party report to
the CongreSS-an oratorical en-
durance test lasting some 512
hours. From Molotov and
Beria came the familiar, sharp
thunderclaps of invective against
the United States.
All this we know. But what
does it all mean? What did
they really say?

Call Con Bring
Aqitotion in u. s.

AS we seek the right answer,
our first task is to see how Sow
let Russia may translate this
challenge into specific directives
to Communist Parties around
the world.
To Communists Of the United
States specifically, this call can
mean a summons to agitate all
forces working toward economic
isolationism. This appeal will
address itself. for example, to
arousing American watchmak-
ers against the Swiss; machin-
cry makers against the Ger
mans; textile manufacturers
against the Japanese. It will
stir every smoldering prejudice
and passion that can be in
famed against Britain or France,
against Germany or Japan or
Italy. 1t will trade in fraudu-
lent pacificism and fake ideal
ism. 1t will warn with sly in
sinuation against British inn
perialism or German neo-Nazi-
ism, against the resurgence Of
japanese trading combines or
Frances Slowness in rearming.
Where warped half-truths can
not be uttered. the full lie will
be invented. With skill and
guile. a people-loving freedom

must strive tirelessly to recon-
cile our harmful differences on
crucial Far Eastern policies.
With France, we must re-
member that a nation shattered
by two successive world wars
while it remains as great of
heart as ever-should not be
expected to show the zeal and
the stamina of another nation
that-partly by the mercy of
geography-has enjoyed safety
from invasion. We must re-
member that Frenchmen were
dying by the hundreds fighting
Communists in distant Indo-
China years before our men
were called to fight Communists
in distant South Korea. We
must, here, strive tireleSsly to
work out a common and humane
policy on the dangerous prob
lem of the North African pop
ulations now striving for free

Faith That Exoits

This is the faith-not in the

Of living flesh, whose spirit has
such strength that he can en-

poverty, disease and imprisen-
ment-to keep alive his souls

This. in short, is the faith
that must instruct us in the
ways we WELD our power: Reso-
lutely, to hearten our friends;
wisely, to confound our enc
mics; constantly, to give hope
to the hearts Of the enslayed:
prudently, to guard the trust Of
the free; and courageously, to be
worthy Of the high commission
history has conferred upon US.
United in this faith, we can
take and hold the initiative with

Soviet Rule Extended
To 800 Million

The last IL years tell a cruel
story. 1t is the story of a
growth in the Soviet empire so
fast and so fabulous as to make
all prior fears seem conserva-
tive. With the conquest of
China on one continent, and the
Sovietization Of Eastern Europe
on the other, the number Of
people under effective Soviet
rule has swelled. in little more
than a decade, from 100 million
to 800 million. This great mass
signifies the larger empire in
he history of mankind. Never
before, in mans long pilgrimage
from darnesS toward light, has
tyranny dragged so many mil
lion back into the night.
Into this key area Soviet Rus
STA has now moved with ruthless
purpose.
Meanwhile, these same years
have witnessed the rapid eco
nomic and military recovery Of
the Soviet Union itself from the
blows and losses of World War
II. This means-as but one i'm
portant example, steel pro-
duction that today approaches
double what it was when Hitler
attacked Russia. It also means,
of course, continuing atomic
development.
These. then. are the key his
toric facts that set the scene
for the words of Stain. Molotov.
Malenkov and Beria in the last
10 days. These facts define a
Soviet diplomacy leading from
growing strength. And they
spell a formula for that diplo-
macy's conduct: AS the Com
munist world carefully marshals
its gigantic new sources of
strength, the free world -
crowded back on its own de-
fenses-may be led to fall into
factions and prey upon itself.
This is the formula for &C
ton that Stain explained quite
plainly. Behind his fiat, abb
stract words are sharp, con-
crete ideas. He denounces as
Communist heresy the mistaken
belief that-as he puts 1.-THE
contradictions between the camp
Of Socialism and the camp of
capitalism are stronger than
the contradictions between cap
italist countries" Emphatically
he reafflrms the Marxist axiom
that DEGREES "the inevitability
OF wars between the capi-
talist countries" These wars
Stain forecasts-can be sped
by two types of conflict. The
first can be provoked by the
resentment of our British and
French allies against what he
calls "the domination and op-
preston Of the United States"
The second can be stirred by
resurgent nationalism in Ger
many and Japan. as they (again
in Stalin's Words attempt to
break out from American slav-
cry" Finally-the voice of
Stain continues-all these per-
lis and conflicts will be sharp
ened by the free worlds loss of
trade markets formerly enjoyed
in both China and Eastern Eu-
rope. Economic friction thus
can heighten political tension
Until an angry and divided
free world takes arms against
itself.
This. I believe. is more than
a formula for Soviet action: It
is a deadly challenge to the
free world in this critical au.
tumn of 1852. It is this chal-
lenge that we must answer If
we are to survive in freedom.

We Have MotchIess
Spiritual Strenuth

Perhaps the only more serious
blundel we could make would
be to hold any deep doubt that
If we are both wise and coura-
geous-we can beat back this
challenge and the forces be-
hind it.
I believe, in short, that we
must both face the strength of
the enemy-and know that it
cannot match our own at our
best.
First and above all: We have
a matchless spiritual strength
beyond our enemy'S reach or
understanding. It is the strength
that fortifies a civilization be-
lieving in man as made in the
image of God.
We should next recognize that
the Soviet leaders, for all their
formidable gains since 1945,
have suffered some rude jolts to
their expectations of that date.
In the first place: With such
American help as the Marshall
Plan. European governments
that might have stumbled to-
ward Communism in 1945 have
held fast to their freedom. Sec
-ondly, the vigor and courage of
the armies of the United Ma
tions in Korea have astonished
a Kremlin that had been led to
believe that this little nation
could provide a cheap and easy
victory. In the third place: The
stunning defiance of Yugoslavia
has coldly warned that nation
allsm can infect Communist
territory with dangerous sue
cess. Finally and most import
antly: The cataclysmic Ameri-
can economic collapse supposed
to strike Immediately after the
war has never come.

Dream Must Embrace
Two Vital Areas

There are, I suggest, two par
ticularly vital areas of the world
today where this dream must
be embraced-this postulate
proven-if freedom is to live.
The first area is that great
heartland of Europe. now a vast
serfdom ruled from Moscow.
Both practical sense and i'm
mutable principle here coincide
to tell one fact: These lands
cannot be written off as ire
vocably lost. The free world
cannot permit their burial to
the accompaniment of either
Leninist requiems or fatalists'
casual postmortems. To do this
would not merely seal Soviet
domination in Europe: It would
signify the free worlds abdica-
ton Of its own conscience. It
would sound as a tortured echo
of the ancient cry: 1--WE have
made a covenant with death,
and with hell are we at agree
ment."
There is q second area where
our faith must burn with un-
compromising brightness: The
vast lands that-in only the
last decade-have won their full
independence. Israel, India and
Pak1Stan, Burma, Ceylon, Syria,

sues Win loans SpurreQ Dy panic
and other such desperate last
minute improvising.
Our aim-to which we must
be pledged in joyous. generous
and confident dedication-is
ever clear, ever the same. It
Is the idea Of human freedom
that glorious gift of our Judeo-
Christian traditions. This idea
-democracy-is not a mere
sentimental mood, nor some cas-
ually inherited persuasion. It
is a doctrine Of life and a def
milton of man.
None knows this better than
the Communist himself. Karl
Marx said plainly: "The demo-
cratic concept Of man is false
because it is Christian. The
democratic concept holds that
;. each man has a value as a
sovereign being" And he round
ly declared: "This is the illu-
sion. dream and postulate of
Christianity, that man has a
sovereign SOUL"
We know the truth--the ever
lasting truth - behind those
words: This is the dream and
the postulate that, through all
the ages Of Judaism and Chris
tianity, have given strength and
dignity and purpose to free
men defying tvrantS.
