ourselves up off the floor. We
must cease hand-to- mouth
operations in foreign affairs.
Only through positive pro-
nouncement Of our intentions
in the international field can we
ourselves be sure Of our Nations
aims.
We must have the confidence
and assurance Of those who are
well prepared spiritually and
materially to pursue a decent
policy to its ultimate end. With
in such positive purposes. we
should boldly announce that we
will never lose interest in a
people who want to be free
who live unwillingly behind the
Iron Curtain. This means
launching Of a concerted politi-
cal program that will establish
our peaceful intent. encourage
our Allies. and assure all the

No Easy Way
To Peace Possible

Let me, first of all, affirm for
you my own, deep faith. I be-
lieve we can have peace. I be-
lieve we can diminish markedly
the threat of global war; that
we can dispel the clouds over
the future and lift many Of the
heavy burdens now laid upon us.
But would not be honest II I
led you to believe that there is
any easy way to peace. There Is
none. There is no painless. po-
litical shortcut; no glib solution.
It is a solemn responsibility
that confronts us. On our sue
cess depends the achievement of
almost all our objectives: the
elimination of casualty lists; the
easing of our heavy tax load:
the stemming of imitation that
raises the cost of everything we
buy; the dispelling Of pessi-
mism; continued progress in
bringing to all economic groups
in America the fruits Of science,
of education and production.
AS we seek, together, the road
to peace we have only one, sure
guide. Clearly. our foreign policy
and operations must be based.
as are those of other nations,
upon our own enlightened self
interest. Before every step we
take we must ask: Is this good
for the United States of Amer
lea; does it promote our secur-
ity, our growth in well being
and our peace?
This is not selfishness. 1t is
recognition of the fact that a
strong, confident, peaceful
America is the hope of the free
world.
Evening star., 1952-06-24
Must Be Strong to
Cut Arms Burden

Fourth. we must be strong! I
look forward to the day when,
from a position of unassailable
decency, we will be able to pre-
sent to the masters Of the
Kremlin a just and practical
plan for freeing the world from
the burden of armaments. If
we are strong, they will prob
ably see in such a proposal their
own self-interest and will feel
obliged to accept, even if grudg-
ingly and slowly, a plan for
peace and disarmament.
We can speed that day only
if we are strong. The language
of strength is the only language
which the men in the Kremlin
understand.
We must have an unshakeable
spiritual strength. Let us con-
Stantly proclaim to all peoples
our belief in God, and our de-
votion to the ideals and causes
that spring from such belief.
For you and for me and for our
children, the cause we support
Is. that Of freedom: the right Of
each of us to live and work and
speak and worship according
to the dictates of our con-
science; to be equal. in the sight
of God, with all others. That
community of belief, Of aspira-
ton and or striving is, I deeply
believe. our strongest bulwark
and our best defense.
Along with spiritual strength,
we must, at all costs, increase
our power to produce what we
need for ourselves and an ad-
ditional margin for the support
of our armed forces and for
necessary military assistance to
our Allies. To retain our eco
nomic SoundneSS, we must be
ever watchful that we get the
maximum return on every dol
lar spent for defense. A bank
rupt America Is a defenseless
America. A.
Another necessary element in
the position we must reach is
military power. Manifestly. the
United States cannot station its
troops all over the world to
protect every area in which we
have a vital interest. The very
essence of collective security is
as rapidly as possible to lodge

Red Truce Delegates
Warn POW SCREENING
May Extend War
BY the Associated Press

MUNSAN, Korea, June "a
Communist truce negotiators to.
day warned the United Nations
that continued screening Of pris-
oners at Koje Island may extend
the Korean war"
you are taking dangerous steps
which show that you do not hesi-
tate to extend the Korean war"
said North Korean Gen. Nam II.
Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison
replied, "We cannot and will not
barter the right to freedom of any
individual. We recognize the in
dividual as possessed of free will
not a slave bound without choice
to a lifetime of servitude."
No Progress at Session.
About $4,000 prisoners on Koje
are being questioned to learn
whether they want to go home.
They are among prisoners who
resisted screening last April when
the U. N. got a round figure" of
10000 prisoners who want to be
repatriated and some 100000 who
would fight being returned.
Allied refusal to repatriate any
prisoner against his will is the
main stumbling block to an armis-
tice in Korea.
Gen. Mans warning came dur
ing another brief no-progress ses-
sion at hot, dusty Panmunjom.
Short Recess Rejected.
Gen. Harrison suggested another
short recess to let the Reds "re-
consider and adjust" their posi-
ton. but Gen. Nam insisted or
Ianother session tomorrow.
The Communists again de-
nounced Allied plans to release
next month $4,000 prisoners swept
Into U. N. compounds early in the
war and later reclassified as South
Korean civilians.
After the negotiators adjourned
for the day, Gen. Harrison summed
up the session in one brief sem
tence: "They don't like our stand
and we don't like theirs"
