II Nikita s. Khrushchev
attends q u. N. summit meet
ing, 1t is imperative that we
do not come out of this con-
ference cheated and defeated
as has been our fate in deal
ings with the Soviets since
1885.
And If Khrushchev does
come to America, how should
our press, radio and 'tele-
vision handle the event? In
deed. how would the Russian
masses. at least 90 per cent
Of them. want US TO treat
this unwelcome guest on
American soil?
AS a native-born Russian
who has had extensive ex-
perience in the Soviet Union
as representative Of leading
American industrial corpora
tons and In close touch with
happenings in Russia since
1917. I know that when the
Kremlin mouthpieces Pravda
and Izvestia laud q foreign
government or people, the
Russian asses consider
them as mortal enemies of
theirs. When the Soviet
regime condemns President
Eisenhower, Dulles and any
one else in the United States,
the average Russian is glow
ingly happy and considers
them as his true friends.
American tourists can never
hear this from the Russian
people who hate and fear
their tyrants.
Many q time during my
business sojourns there, even
high executives in the Soviet
government have said to me:
Why do you Americans
come here to deal with our
rulers? You are only en-
HANGING their prestige and
tightening the moose around
our necks."
En- route from Minsk to
Moscow in a sleeping COM
partment with a three-man
Russian commission, one of
them angrily said to me:
you foreigners fill your
mouth with water when you
reach this country. You are
afraid to see our bitter life
for what it is" His colleagues
begged him to keep quiet for
fear he might be overheard
by some agents swarming the
sleeping cars and all Of them
would have had TO pay for it.
On the basis Of personal
experience in the Soviet I'm
ion over q period Of several
years. I would therefore
counsel all United States Or
gans of communication to
clamp down the tightest boy
colt of Khrushchev and his
entire encourage. There must
be no interviews, no TV time
at any price. We should ig-
more them completely. This
has been the fate Of our dip
lomatic representatives in
Russia since 1888. Let us re-
pay the compliment. We
should shun them like the
plague, for they are the car
riers Of the red plague. This
would be the bitterest blow to
Khrushchev in his own coun-
try. This is the only sensible
way to handle the man who
has warned US: I'VE will bury
you'll"
And If we do this from now
on and for all time to come.
the Russian masses will bless
us; they will rejoice and will
regain courage to carry on
the 40-year war with their
oppressors. 1t is to our vital
interest that this should be so.
What should our govern
ment representatives do when
facing in the U.N. the leader
Of the savage war against us?
Since the founding Of the
U.N. we have suffered end
less abuse and insults at the
hands of Gromyko, Vishin-
ski, Malik and the Suslovs.
Our delegates have never
known and do not know to-
day how TO handle them.
They lack the necessary Rus
sian background to put UP
with the Soviet delegates.
Therefore, President Eisen-
hover. Secretary Dulles. AM
baSsador Lodge and their
aides must come with ample
ammunition. There is plenty
Of it in the Library Of Con-
greSs and in the State De-
partment. Most of all, there
is priceless material in the
reports by the House and
Senate committees which
have been investigating the
Soviet barbarians for two
