Portiol Text Of Gen. Eisenhower's Ne,
York Address. Poee Al
ties at the annual Alfred E. Smith
Memorial Foundation dinner, Gen
Eisenhower delivered his most i'm
pressive foreign policy speech
since becoming a candidate fol-
the presidency.
The Republican nominee saw ir
the recent meeting of the Soviet
Congress new evidence that the
Communist goal still is to destro,
imperialism" That word, hi
said. is standard Soviet short
hand for democracy in genera
and for the United States in par
ticular."
Warns Against misunderstanding
He also served notice on the
Communists not to misunderstood
the debate now going on in the
American presidential campaign
ANY enemy that processes tc
find comfort in this fact confesses
his ignorance of democracy's true
strength" he said.
Gen. Eisenhower's speech last
night served to dispel any notion
that his recent criticisms of the
administration for it's handling of
foreign affairs since the end of
World War II indicated he was
backing away from continued CO.
operation with the rest of the free
world.
AS he reviewed the recent meet
ing of the Soviet Congress, the
general said: 1.-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."
The general pointed out that
the old Russian vision of an en-
pire spanning two continents
from Aachen to Vladivostok" has
come closer to fact than fantasy.
Increased Soviet Strength.
He cited the growth of Russian
strength since the end of World
War II, and said new Russian
gauge rail lines have been laid
from the Ukraine across Poland
into CZechoslovakia and Hungary,
$50 that arms and armies can now
be swiftly moved from deep within
Russia to the borders of Yugo-
slavia to the Elbe."
These. he said, are the historic
facts that set the scene for the
words spoken by Russian leaders
at the meeting of the Soviet Con-
gress. .-..4
But he cautioned the Nation
that Stalin's formula of action
may be to try to turn the British,
French, Germans and japanese
against the United States.
This, believe, is more than a
fommula for Soviet action" the
general continued. 1T is a deadly
challenge to the free world in
this critical autumn of 1852. It
IS this challenge that we must
answer if we are to survive in
freedom"
Agitation for ISOIatiOniSm,
He said that one way the Com
munists could approach this would
be to agitate economic isolation
ism in the United States. He said
this might be done by arousing
American watchmakers against
the Swiss, machinery makers
against the Germans, or textile
manufacturers against the Jap
anese, He predicted that similar
instructions are already in the
mails to Communists in Western
Europe.
1--WE might see in all this a kind
OF change in tempo in the cold
War-even the beginning of cold
peace" the Republican nominee
continued. But whatever lan-
guage we use to describe this
Soviet formula for action, we could
make few blunderS so serious as to
doubt its menace to the free
worlds unity.
Perhaps the only more serious
blunder we could make would be
to hold any deep doubt that-if
we are both wise and courageous
we can beat back this challenge
and the forces behind it,"
Although Gen. Eisenhower in
recent weeks has denounced the
administration handling of for
eign policy, last night he praised,
the Marshall Plan and the stand
of the United Nations armies
against Communist aggression in
Korea.
But, while picturing the strength
and cunning of Soviet commu-
nism, the general said the lin
ternal contradictions" of COM
munism are constant and stu
pendous threats to the Soviet
Unions own safety.
He closed by urging unity and
faith among the allied non Com
munist nations. and patience with
each other.
United in this faith" he said,
mo power - however massed.
however menacing K can prevail
against U.S."
Gov. Dewey Reminisces.
Another speaker at the dinner,
held at the Waldorf Astoria. was
Gov. Dewey of New York, but he
took a lighter vein by reminiscing
about his own two unsuccessful
campaigns for the presidency.
Every time I ride a train and
the brakes go on, I feel I must
get up and make a SPEECH" the
Governor joked. ''It has ruined
railroad travel for me-"
After Gen. Eisenhower had re-
called that personal attacks were
made on him at the Russian Con.
