you that no American soldier
would be required to fight in the
Korean theater of action.
Yet many. many Americans
gave all they had to give to
the good cause: but the battle
they died to win is not yet won.
The forces of Communist tyr
amy still hold the initiative
throughout the world. On the
Korean front. the guns are. 81
lent for the moment. stilled tenn
porarily by the unwise armi-
stice which the enemy is using
to build up his strength Now
that the Geneva Conference has
come to an end with no result,
as predicted. it is quite in place
to declare the end Of the armi-
stice The, northern half Of our
country is held and ruled by
a million Chinese slaves Of the
Soviets. Communist trenches,
filled with troops, lie within 40
miles Of our national capital.
Communist airfields. newly con-
structed in defiance Of armi-
stice terms and furnished with
jet bombers. lie within ten min

Warns of Kremlin's Goal
Yet death is scarcely closer to
Seoul than to Washington, for
the destruction of the. United
States is the prime objective
Of the conspirators in the Kren-
lin. The Soviet Unions hydrogen
bombs may well be dropped on
the great cities OF America even
before they are dropped on our
shattered towns.
The essence Of the Soviet's
strategy for world conquest is
to lull Americans into a sleep
of death by talking peace until
the Soviet Union possesses
enough hydrogen bombs and in
tercontinental bombers to pull
verize the airfields and produc-
tive centers of the United States
by a sneak attack. This Is a
compliment to the American
standard Of international mo-
rality;; but it is a sinister COM
pliment. For the Soviet gov
eminent will use the weapons
of humiliation when it has
enough to feel confident that il
can eliminate Americas power
to retaliate. We are obliged
therefore, as responsible states
men, to consider what. if any
thing, can be done to make GER
tain that when the Soviet gov
eminent possesses those weap-
ons, it will not dare to use them
We know that we cannot
count on Soviet promises. Thirty
six years of experience have
taught us that Communists
never respect a treaty If they
consider it in their interest to
break it. They are not restrained
by any moral scruple, humani-
tartan principle or religious
sanction. They have dedicated
themselves to the employment
of any means. even the foulest
even torture and mass murder
to achieve their conquest OF
the world. The Soviet Union will
not stop of its own volition. /,
must be stopped.
Must Act Now, He Says.
Does this necessarily mean thai
| the United States and its allies
must either drop bombs now or
the Soviet factories or stand like
steers in slaughter house
awaiting death?
The way. to survival for TIT
| free peoples of the world-tht
only way that we Koreans see
is not the way of wishfully hop
ing for peace when there is nj
peace; not by trusting that some
how the Soviet government ma!
be persuaded to abandon it
monstrous effort to conquer TIT
world; not by cringing and ap:
peasing the forces of evil; bu
by swinging the world balance
of power so strongly against TIT
Communists that. even whel
they possess the weapons o
annihilation, they will not dar'
use them.
There is little time. Within
few years the Soviet Union viii
possess the means to vanquisl
the United States. We must &C
now. Where can we act?
We can act in the Far East
