He suggested the creation Of q

by Soviet Russia. Russia's in
terest in Asia is not new. The
attempt to bring all Of Asia un-
der Russian dominion was
clearly in evidence as long ago
as 1897. The charge Of aggres-
sive imperialism was leveled
against Russia no less than it
was against the Western powers.
The expansionist aims Of Rus
sia did not change with the
passing of the czars. But today,
the Russian rulers have weap-
ons far more powerful than
those of their predecessors. The
steel glove Of a revolutionary
ideology covers the heavy hand
OF imperialist expansion.
The strategy of communism
In Asia is to pose as the cham
pion-the only champion-of
the Asian peoples. Communism
has not created the causes or
the forces behind Asia's vast
upheaval. It is attempting to
give direction to those forces
It seeks to impose its own label
on the multiple revolutions
going on in Asia today by iden-
tifying itself with the deeply
felt needs and hopes of the
Asian neoples.

Time to Stop a Revolution
is at Start. Not End

Listening to the debate over
China this past year, I had the
distinct impression at times that
the very Congressman whose
vocal chords were most active
in the cause of isolation and
against foreign entanglements
were the same ones who were
now talking as if they had
wanted us to take part in a
civil war in China.
The time to stop a revolution
is at the beginning, not the end.
But I don't recall any pleas from
these critics for help for Sun
Vat Sen and Chinese democracy
back in the 20s. Nor did I hear
them demanding Intervention by
the United States in the mid
30s, when civil war with the
Communists broke out. Indeed,
it was not until quite recently,
when the Chinese wars were
about over, that there was even
an audible whisper that we help
fight a hindsight war, that we
should have given more help to
China than we did.
It would seem to me that the
Republican critics could better
demonstrate the good faith of
their concern for Asia by doing
something about India today
rather than talking about China
yesterday. fearful and inter-
minable post : mortems about
China will save no souls for
democracy in the rest of Asia,
the Near East and Africa.
India is not caught up in
civil strife. It can be helped

Efforts to Build for Peace
In Europe Are Succeeding

In Europe, our efforts to build
patiently for peace are meeting
with success. The Marshall
plan has brought about a strik-
ing improvement in political and
economic conditions. The North
Atlantic Treaty Organization Is
building strong system of de-
fense. Europe is not yet wholly
secure against subversion from
within or attack from without,
but this goal of security is in
sight.
I wish I could say the same
for Asia, but clearly I cannot.
and there would be no greater
disservice to the American peo-
pie than to underestimate the
gravity of the dangers that
America faces in this area, per-
haps for many years.
It is about Americas relations
with Asia that I want to talk
with you tonight, soberly and
realistically.
Across the continent of Asia,
more than a billion of the
worlds peoples are churning in
one Of history's greatest up
heavals. All the struggles Of
man over the centuries-eco-
nomic, political, Spiritual-have
come together in Asia and now
seem to be reaching a climax.
The causes behind that up
heaval are many and varied.
But there is nothing compli-
Gated about what the people
want. They want a decent liv-
ing-and they want freedom.
The word used most frequent
ly by Asians to describe their
aspirations is nationalism.
Nationalism to Asians means
a chance to stand on their own
feet, a chance to govern them
selves, a chance to develop their
resources for their own welfare,
and a chance to prove that the
color of their skins has nothing
to do with their rights to walk
with self-respect among their
fellow men in the world. It
means the end of a legalized in
feriority. 1t means pride, spirit,
faith.
This type of nationalism is
not inconsistent with closer CO.
operation among nations nor
with the need for an enforce
able peace. The Asians actually
regard freedom and national in
dependence as the doorway to
international order-just as we
do.
The struggle In Asia and the
hopes and longings Of the Asian
peoples have not gone unnoticed

to afford. With IS per cent Of
our budget allocated to defense.
it is the Soviet Union which now
fixes the level of our defense
expenditures and thus our tax
rates. The only way to emanci-
pate ourselves from this foreign
control, and to substantially cut
taxes, is first to develop our
strength and then to find the
means of ending the ornaments
race.
And here let me say some
thing to those abroad who may
mistake our present wrangling
for weakness. We have always
had differences of opinion which
have produced all sorts of noises
and confusion-especially in
campaign years. But it is the
kind of noise that, to the inner
ear, is the sweet music of free
institutions. It is the kind Of
noise that has produced the
harmony of firm purpose when
ever our people have been put
to the test. The costliest Of
blunders of the goth century
have been made by dictators
who did not quite understand
the workings of real democracy
and who miStook diversity for
disunity.
No one can predict, and it
would be foolish to try to pre-
dict. how and when the peace
full purpose of our power will
succeed in creating a just and
durable peace. But are our ef-
forts conditional upon assurance
of prompt success? To answer
"yes" would be to accept the cer-
tainty of eventual defeat.
Coexistence Is not q form of
passive acquiescence in things as
they are. It is waging the con-
test between freedom and tyr
amy by peaceful means. It will
involve negotiation and adjust
ment-compromise but never
appeasement-and I will never
shrink from these if they ad-
vance the world toward secure
peace. Though progress may be
slow, it can be steady and sure.
A wise man does not try to hurry
history. Many wars have been
avoided by patience and many
have been precipitated by reck-
less haste.
Evening star., 1952-09-10
Does Not Think War
Is Inevitable in Contest

I do not think that war is an
inevitable part of this contest
between freedom and tyranny.
Even the most ambitious and
ruthless men do not deliberately
invite destruction of the basis
of their power. They can throw
the iron dice. but they know
they cannot foretell the for
tunes of war.
We who are free must have
great strength in order that
weakness will not tempt the am
bilious. We must have the
strength to win if war should
come. And the measure of the
strength we must have is not
what we would like to afford but
what the adversary compels US

1t Promises Human
And Social Equality

It constantly proclaims its
sympathy for the goals of ma
tional liberation and indepen-
dence. It promises human and
social equality It offers two
bowls of rice q day where now
there is one or none. It offers
land to those who work the
land.
There is an important diff
ference between communism as
we view it and communism as
some of the Asian peoples view
it. When we think of commu-
nism, we think of what we are
going to lose. When many of
the Asian peoples think Of COM
munism. they think Of what
they are going to gain-espe-
cially if they believe they have
nothing to lose.
It is important that we know
these things and think about
them. for we shall never be able
to cope with communism un-
less we understand the basis Of
its appeal.
The Communists have failed
to incite the workers to revolu-
ton in Western Europe. They
have failed to turn the Western
allies one against the other.
But the Communists may well
believe that in the aspirations
and grievances of the East they
now have the key to world
power. They hope, and perhaps
even expect, that the West can
not rise to the challenge in the
East.
Furthermore; they may not
feel the same need for quick
and tidy solutions that is felt
in certain quarters in our own
country. They may believe that
they can afford to have q pa
tience equal to the stakes in
volved. And the stakes are moth
ing less than an overwhelming
preponderance of power-for
with Asia under control, they
could turn with new energy and
vast new resources to an ef-
fort to win a bloodless victory
in a weakened, frightened
Europe.
These Communist expecta-
tions define the dimensions Of
the threat we face in Asia and
of the tasks which lie ahead for
us-tasks which can be met only
by disciplined, resourceful, i'm
aginative and reasoned effort.
It is an effort which has two
parts: Defense and develop
ment.
There is active fighting In
Malaga and Indo-C China. Have
we given fitting recognition to
the hard, bitter and prolonged
efforts by the British, French,
and native Malayan and Indo-
Chinese forces? These efforts
have involved heavy loss Of life
and great material costs.
What will the defensive task
require Of us in these areas. in
the Philippines, Formosa, Japan
and Korea? What contributions,
what commitments to security
in this area should we make
and can we make to the emerg-
ing system Of Pacific defenses?
These are some of the questions,
