with Moscow. In fact, from
London came dispatches say
ing British members Of Parlia-
ment and other "spokesmen"
were worried about these re-
ported plans for "disar.na-
ment" which, 1t was being
said. were about to be con-
veyed to the Soviet govern
ment.
Dulles cannot carry on con-
ferences abroad and explain to
the press at the same time
every detail of his discussions.
But when he gets back here,
he usually calls a press con-
ference and talks frankly and
in detail. The press confer
ence he held this week was a
model of clarity and compre-
hensiveness. Not since the
days when the late Charles
Evans Hughes was Secretary
Of State, and day in and day
out gave the press a clear-cut
summary of what he was doing
in foreign negotiations. has
there been such a masterful
presentation as Dulles gave
the newsmen on Tuesday.
The Secretary of State is
able to deal so effectively with
these complicated subjects
primarily because he knows
them thoroughly. He has had
a larger experience with the
various fine points of inter-
national relations than any
other man in public life today.
Dulles, in his latest analysis.
has upset a number of fancy
theories as to what American
policy is supposed to have been
or ought to be. He has knocked
in the head the idea that the
United States is ready to ne
gotiate for the withdrawal Of
allied troops from West Ger
many and Europe generally if
the Soviets would agree to
withdraw their troops from the
satellite states.
The basic fact to be borne in
mind is that there is a closely
knit alliance, known as the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
cation, and that practical.
alert-minded. vigilant military
men are back of it. They are
not naive persons who accept
disarmament the moment
somebody in Moscow applauds
the idea and writes q note
about it.
What sometimes confuses
the picture is the talk about
reducing troops in certain
areas due to budget problems.
Undoubtedly some ground
forces are being reduced by the
allies, but not because of any
new trust in Moscow's inten-
tions. II is rather because the
new guided missiles and atomic
weapons make it possible to
secure an even greater defense
against attack with fewer
troops than before.
Dulles has succinctly ex-
planned the situation - the

Russia Charged With Triegerine 3 Wars
And Some Say We Should Humor Her

Stain was motivated in his
act of treachery. not by his
desire to partition Poland
again. but by his anxiety to.
bring about another world war
which would establish the
Soviet brand of, imperialism as
the dominating factor in the
world.
There is documentary evil
dence that when Hitler at
tackled his ally" in June,
1910, it had finally dawned ON
him what the men in the
Kremlin we're aiming at. He
saw the threat to his own
Nazi imperialism and hoped
to ward off the threat by
approaching Prime Minister
Churchill through under
ground channels with sug-
gestions to end the war with

A number of advisers to
President Eisenhower, includ-
ing Harold Stassen, his Sec
rotary for Peace and Disarma-
ment," and his distinguished
guest, Prime Minister Nehru
OF India, are overlooking basic
historical facts when they urge
the Chief Executive to humor
the Russians and get them into
the fold Of peace-loving ma
tions.
The historical facts they are
ignoring are that the Rus
slams have triggered, so far,
two world wars and a police
action"
World War I resulted from
the assassination at Sarajevo
of Archduke Franz-Ferdinand,
the heir to the throne of the
Austrian Empire. The murder
was committed by a Serbian
student, Princip. He was, how
ever, only the instrument of
the Pan-Slav movement spon-
sored by st. Petersburg. It was
the Russian minister to Bel
grade, Count Hartvig, who f.
nanced and encouraged the
plot to murder the Austrian
Archduke. This triggered
World War /. as the men
around Car Nicholas knew it
would. It resulted, as is obvious
now, in not a temporary, but a
permanent disaster for the
whole world. 1t established
communism in Russia and
signaled the beginning of the
war on Western civilization,
which was and still is based
on the freedom of man.
1t was the Russian Com
munist government headed by
Joseph Stain which made
World War II possible. There
is documentary proof that
Hitler would never have, I'M
leashed that catastrophe If
his fellow dictator, Stain,
had not signed in August,
1899, the alliance which
assured the needed protection
for his rear flank at the price
of the fourth partition of
Poland.
Hitler had obtained major
victories over France and
Britain without firing a shot.
He was a mad dictator. But
before World War II he did
listen to his military advisers
that he should not undertake
a major campaign on two
fronts. Germany just did not
have the capabilities to fight
the e-minded Western ma
tons unless its eastern flank
was covered. This was the
only lesson it had learned
from World War I. Stain
gave him that assurance to-
gether with the formal prom
Use that the USSR would sup
ply Germany with all the raw
materials it had available.
Thus, while the Muscovite die
tator was discussing with the
military representatives OF
Britain and France ways and
means of cooperation if the
mad man in Berlin" decided
to start something, he actually
told the Germans everything
he had learned from their
prospective allies about their
weaknesses. Then he formally
signed the pact which enabled
Hitler to plunge the world
into its second holocaust in
less than quarter of a CEN
fury.

absolutely clear that the satel-

Dulles says that when Germany
