those who are so easily i'm
pressed by Russian propaganda,
and so critical of their friends
in the West, of a very impor-
tant fact: Soon after the estab-
lishment of the United Nations
the United States made the
most challenging offer in his
tory to bring about reduction
and control of ornaments
We were the sole poSsessors
of the atom bomb. Yet we
sponsored and we're prepared
to enter into an agreement
providing for the rigid control
Of atomic weapons under a
system Of international in
spection.
But Russia-having no atomic,
yet loudly protesting her peace
full intentions - wrecked this
plan.
Obviously, Russia did not
want any disarmament or arms
control. except under terms
which would leave her free to
do as she wished. With the war
at an end. Stain and Molo-
tov were once again busy sub
verting governments. They
never fooled me after Potsdam.
Cynically used the United
Nations as q propaganda plat
form Stain and Molotov sought
to divert attention from their
subversive moves by falsely at
tributing the worlds growing
tensions and anxieties to our
possession Of the atomic bomb.
Paved Way for Race
BY refusing to agree to q
system of international inspec-
ton and control Of ornaments,
the Kremlin paved the way for
an atomic and nuclear weapons
race. They destroyed the hope
Of mankind to take a first i'm
portant and realistic step to
remove the threat of nuclear
warfare with its unimaginable
horrors.
For this. Soviet Russia will
have to make full accounting
before history.
The recent disarmament
talks in London were a COM
plete failure. and its is no
use trying to derive any crumbs
of comfort from them. have
learned from bitter experience
that the Communist leaders in
the Kremlin have no honor in
their code and they will not
keep agreements. The only
thing they understand and re-
spect is superior strength. This
lis not our standard. but it Is
the standard by which the So
VETS conduct themselves in in
ternational and in their home
affairs.
But this is no reason for de-
Spair. On the contrary. their
behavior points the way for us
to conduct ourselves in the light
Of similar situations in history.
What We need to do is to COM
bine resoluteneSs with patience.
Must Remain Strong
We must maintain our
strength and bide our time. Let
US not give the impression Of
hesitation to act If provoked,
and let us avoid the dangerous
business of weakening our
military strength. lest we en-
courage the Kremlin to holder
adventures. I have had many
opportunities to size up the
methods of the Kremlin lead
ers. not only face to face. but
also in the light Of historic
perspective.
1t seems to me that there
is "a close parallel between
Stain and his successors and
Genghis Khan and his scourg-
ing adventures across Asia and
Europe in the 18th and 18th
centuries. At the height Of his
conquestS Genghis Khan would
negotiate with no one except
on his terms.
His sway seemed limitless
until he reached Europe, where
he was stopped. All conquerors
overextend themselves: his
empire began to crumble with
his descendants. His grandson,
Kublai Khan. realized that he
had to negotiate and make
treaties and keep them.
Since that time we have wit
messed a number of conquerors
attempt again and again to
invade and dominate many
areas of the world, only to end
up in failure. always leaving
their survivors the task of ne
