cedural. but basic." Mr.. Eisen-
hover said.
These differences, the Presi-
dent pointed out. are whether
the United Nations has the
principal responsibility for the
maintenance of international
peace and security and whether
small nations as well as a few

ing. Mr.. Eisenhower said:
THE stated assumptions in
your letter that the decisions
Of five great powers will be hap
PLY accepted by all other in
terested powers seems to indi-
cate an attitude on your part
which would have dangerous
consequences in the future for
the smaller powers Of this
world.
Policy Condemned
"Your position, which means
that the desires, the dignity, in
fact the security Of the smaller
nations should be disregarded,
is one which the United Nations
has consistently opposed and
continues to oppose today. Es-

that we should join you in a
policy reminiscent Of the system
Of political domination you i'm
posed in Eastern Europe. The
United States cannot accept
that point Of view.1
