strength. In fact, he asserted,
Soviet strength, both military
and economic. has now to be
expended to repress those who
openly show their revulsion
against Soviet rule"
Mr.. Dulles also made these
other major points:
/. International communism"
Is on the prowl to capture those
nations whose leaders feel that
newly acquired sovereignty
rights have to be displayed by
fiouting other independent ma
tons He called that suicidal
sovereignty" and said the United
States wants the independence
OF new nations Ito be something
better than a brief twilight pre-
Iceding the blackout Of Commu-
mist despotism."
2. The chief deterrent to So
Wet aggression is the mobile re-
taliatory power" of the United
States but this country also
needs strong allies.
3. The administrations poll \
cies governing promotion of in
ternational trade and economic
assistance to foreign countries
are vital to strengthen those 1
countries against Communist |
Ipressures and to secure their be- \
lief in 1.-THE blessings of liberty"
4. The United States considers
that controls and reduction Of
arms are possible. desirable. and, \
in the last reckoning, indispens-
able" The atomic arms race is
costly. sterile and dangerous"
and I'VE shall not cease our
striving to bring it to a depend
able end"
5. History suggests that "a
conflict as basic as that dividing
the world Of freedom and the
world Of international commu-
nism ultimately erupts in war"
but the United States rejects
the notion war is inevitable and
believes that 1t can be pre-
vented.
Seeks to Stabilize Mideast
In general. he said. this coun- |
try is striving to bring about
conditions in the Middle East
better than those provocative
and dangerous conditions out of
which the recent violence was
born"
This will take time, he said \
because emotions run high in the \
area and also because "such sit
IuationS -. are always worsened /
by Soviet intrigue"
Mr.. Dulles dealt with the con-
fiict between the Communist
bloc and the nom Communist
nations at several points of his
address.
The Soviet rulers understand
ably prefer" he said in discuss
ing the free world system of
alliances, that the free nations
should be weak and divided. as
when the men In the Kremlin
stole. one by one, the independ-
ence Of dozen nations.
SO. at each enlargement of
the area Of collective defense. the
Soviet rulers pour out abuse
against so-called 'militaristic
groupings And as the free ma
tons move to strengthen their
common defense, the Soviet
rulers emit threats. But we can,
l think. be confident that such i
Soviet assaults will not disinte- II
CRATE the free world. Collective
measures are here to stay"
Khrushchev Boast Recalled
Turning to Russia's internal
difhculties, Mr.. Dulles declared
tnat only year ago Communist
party boss Nikita Khrushchey
boosted before the Twentieth
Congress Of the Soviet Commu-
mist Party that communism was
on Its way TO triumph every
where, on its merits, as a system
OF thought and government"
He said that this boast had
been shown up by the revolt in
Hungary and that communism
In practice has proved to be
oppressive. reactionary, unimagi- |
native"
Although he did not refer to
Britain and France by name
Mr.. Dulles defended the United |
States break with them last fall II
following their attack on Egypt
He said the American deci-
sion, though not popular, was
Imperative II the world was not
to go as 1t went when the league
'of nations) covenant was dis
regarded"
He also rejected criticism that
the United States depends too
much on the United Nations
saying that American actions
through the u. N. constitute mol
abdication Of foreign policy"
Use Of the United Nations, he
argued. "is the exercise OF for
eign policy. and It's exercise mil
the way which represents thcII
best hope for humanity"
