SJate OullcS UeRlIlS Ill
night on the Paris Ma
tinue. I suppose. for q con-
siderable time to be made
primarily by the United States.
But the weapons themselves.
including the intermediate
Range Ballistic Missiles. can
usefully come to be manufac-
tured IN Western Europe and
thus a very great scientific
effect in logical and industrial
capability Of our European
allies can be co-ordinated with
our own so as to serve more
effectively the defensive areas
of the free world.
This is going to require us TO
supply some nuclear data.
which so far we have kept
closely restricted. That secre-
tive policy Of ours goes back
TO the days when we had a
monopoly of atomic weapons.
and We hoped to dedicate that
monopoly to the service of all
humanity. the peaceful service
Of all humanity. And the
Soviets. as everyone will recall,
rejected that gesture. which
was unique. /, suppose. in the
annals Of all history. And.
under the circumstances, II
certainly is futile to deny TO
our allies information which
they could use for our common
good and information which
the Soviets already possess.
Now. another matter which
We took up in Paris was the
making Of a greater effort TO
increase the number Of people
trained In science and techno-
logy. and. also. We agreed to
an increase pooling Of scien-
tific facilities and information
and the sharing of tasks.
Most Of the great techno-
logical development Of modern
times. both military and nom
military. derive from a scien-
tiflc genius which is not a
monopoly of any one nation
ality. And. Of course. we all re-
call that we drew very heavily
upon the talent Of our Euro
pean friends when 1t came to
producing the first atomic
weapons. There is obvious need
today to combine our talents SC
as to achieve and maintain the
leadership in the new field oi
limitless possibilities which
open up before US.

Of making attractive-sound
economic offers to non-Com

means they try TO create q de
pendence upon the Communis
world and TO penetrate in, an,
finally to take over the politica

free nations. And that is par
ticularly the case with the les

state Of stagnant poverty whicl
freedom cannot tolerate.
And 1t is essential that tn
free world nations which hav
amassed capital should in
creasingly put this to work II
the capital-hungry free worl'
nations. Otherwise they ma.
feel forced TO turn to the Com
munist bloc for aid at a pric
which may be their freedom.
At the Paris meeting 1t wa
decided that the NATO nation
should seek more efhcien
means to advance the less-de

that you told the NATO meet

the Congress for additional re
sources for this purpose. Thi
