PACT Resolution
No Gesture,
Dulles Says
Neither Is Call
To Bloody Revolt, He
Tells House Group
BY J. A. OLeoU

Secretary Of State Dulles told
Congress today that President
Eisenhower'S resolution against
enslavement of free peoples is
not a call to bloody revolution,
nor is it an idle gesture.
At the same time, he declared
the United States "will never
be a party to any international
deal fixing Soviet despotism" on
peoples in Europe and Asia.
Secretary Dulles said Gen.
Eisenhower has assured him he
would never make a bargain
with Russia that would bring
into question the right of all
peoples to freedom.
The Secretary was teStifying
before the House Foreign At
fairs Committee on the resolu-
tion, which condemns Russia's
failure to live up to World War
II agreements promising small
nations free elections.
Representative Judd, Republi-
can, of Minnesota said he was
glad the Secretary was testify
ing today, because he feared the
Presidents statement yesterday
about a possible meeting with
Stain might give enslaved peo-
Piles concern over what would
happen to them in another inter-
national conference.
No Meeting Planned.
In the first place, Mr.. Dulles
said that no meeting between
Gen. Eisenhower and Premier
Stain is being planned. 1t is
entirely in the realm of conjec-
ture, he said, pointing out that
the President was confronted
with a press conference question
and tried to answer it with
dignity.
Secondly, he assured Mr.. Judd
there is no ground for fear be-
hind the Iron Curtain that this
administration would "sell them
down the river" to gain an agree
ment for our own advantage.
Mr.. Dulles appealed to Repub-
licans and Democrats not to en-
gage in controversial debate
over the past, but to unite in
molding the future.
He insisted passage of the res
olution is necessary because ceo-
pies behind the Iron Curtain are
oppressed by a great fear that
at some future time the United
States may agree to a partition
OF the world whereby we would
accept and support Soviet die
tatorship of alien peoples in the
hope of gaining greater security
for ourselves"
Resolution Points Explained.
He testified that passage of
the resolution will make clear to
all of the enSlaved peoples that:
l. The United States does not
countenance Soviet violations of
the promise of free elections after
World War II.
2. The United States "will
never be a party to any interna-
tional deal or trade confirm
ing the rule of Soviet despotism
over the alien peoples it domi-
mates in Europe and Asia"
3. The United States seeks, as
one of it's peaceful goals, that
these enSlaved national groups
shall recover genuine independ-
ence.
Act of Historical Import.
"This resolution is no call to
bloody and senseless revolution"
said the Secretary of State. "On
the other hand, it is no idle ges-
ture. It is an act of great his
torical Importance and many
consequences will stem from it.
AS it's purpose becomes more
and more widely understood, it
will, over the coming years, re-
vive the inherent longing for
freedom which persists within
the captive peoples so that long
ing becomes mounting spiritual
power which will eventually over
come the material power of So
Wet dictatorship to rule what it
has, or to subjugate more"
Mr.. Dulles listed 16 areas of
the world to which Russian
tyranny has been extended. But
he pointed out that since World
War II. the Kremlin has found
it necessary to purge more than
one-third of its original puppet
leaders in satellite countries.
The Secretary said he was
discussing the pending resolu-
tion with the President yester-
day and told him that if any
compromises should be proposed
