Dulles Gives Singing Answer
To Mo|otov, Calls Soviet Bloc
Todoy's Real Threat to Peace
Red Leaders Own
1889 Words Hurled
Back at Him
BY the Associated Press

of State Dulles told the Big Four
foreign ministers conference
today the Soviet bloc and it's
one-man rule is the real danger
to world peace, not the Western
defensive alliance.
This was the American states
mans answer to Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotov's charges that
the Western powers are promot-
ing war in trying to unity Ger
many within the family of Euro
pean nations.
In singing language, Mr.. Dull
les hurled Mr.. Molotov's own
words-spoken after the 1899
Nazi Communist partition of
Poland-back at him. At that
time. with Moscow and Berlin
in a booty hungry partnership.
Mr.. Molotov called it mot only
SenSeleSs but criminal" for the
Western nations to war against
Hitler.
Mr.. Molotov, in challenging
the Western worlds motives
about peace now. is just as
wrong today as he was then,
MIR. Dulles asserted.
Leads Western Replies.
Mr.. Dulles led the Western
broadSide against the Russian as
q retort to Mr.. Molotov's I'M
yielding position yesterday. Mr..
Molotov had stressed that Rus
STA would settle only for a neu-
trail Germany unable to have
any link with the West and
saddled with Communist inf1u-
ence.
Said Mr.. Dulles:
Perhaps Mr.. Molotov would
admit that he then Tin 1897
made a mistake-we all make
mistakes. That fact should lead
us not to be so confident of our
judgment that we throw across
the table accusations of criminal
intent"
Mr.. Dulles said Mr.. Molotov
had accused us yesterday of be-
ing the enemies of peace"
The greatest danger to world
peace" Mr.. Dulles said, lies in
the fact that in some cases a
vast military establishment can
be made to attack by the de-
cision of a single nation, some
times by the decision of a single
man. That is situation that is
UNDERSTANDABLE terrifying"
He left no doubt that he was
talking about the monolithic
Soviet regime.
Cites FugitiveS to West.
Mr. Dulles lit into the Rus
slams demand for East German
Communist participation in any
alderman deal and declared
the Soviet zone Red regime has
been imposed on 18 million help
less people. What more proof
does one need, he said. than the
fact that a million East Ger
mans have fled West since the
last so-called East zone "elec-
tons" in 1850.
In the Eastern area there is
an armed force of 100000 to
keep order" he continued. THAT
is one guard for 80 persons. In
West Germany there is one po-
liceman for $50 persons. Does
this shocking discrepancy prove
that the East Germans freely
accept the order that their rulers
impose?"
The essence of Soviet pro-
posals for Germany is that the
Big -Four should accept the East
German regime as a principal
instrument for solving the Ger
man problem, Mr.. Dulles said,
but I'VE cannot accept that posi-
ton"
U. S. SubversiOn Denied.
Mr.. Dulles recalled that Mr..
Molotov had charged that the
United States Congress had ap-
propriated S100 million for sub
versive activities within the So
Wet satellite countries"
MIR. Dulles said this had been
rejected when Russia raised it in
the United Nations and II re-
