On Fear of War

@. Mr.. President, from time
to time you have said that
there is no alternative to peace,
that a great war would be
stupid, crazy. Mr.. Khrushchev
seems to be talking pretty much
along the same line.
Do you think he really shares
your horror of a great war?
A. Frankly. ] believe that is
the one thing that he does
agree with us very fully. But
you must remember what kind
of a government we are and
how responsive that govern
ment is to people, and people
are the ones that are respon-
sible for this great feeling of
horror against this useless de-
struction.
So the mere fact that you
agree with some particular OBJ
vious truth Of this kind Of the
futility Of committing mutual
suicide, or something of that
kind, the fact is that there is
still room for lot of misun-
derstanding. a lot of miscalcu-
lation which could be very
serious.
But I must say that the un-

A misunderstanding

@. Mr.. President, when the
Soviet Chairman was on the
Hill yesterday. sir, he turned
aside questions about Laos and
other countries, on the grounds
that he had an agreement with
you not to discuss third coun-
tries. Is there such an agree
ment as that?
A. Well, think here there
must be some kind of misun-
derstanding brought about by,
possibly. faulty interpreting.
I said. I think in a speech
and in my original letters, that
we would not negotiate on mat
tiers affecting third countries
or any part Of the the free
world. ] said my allies, I be-
lleve I said, or any party of the
free world.
Now, manifestly. you cannot
have a conversation between
the Soviet government and this
Government that does not men,

Against Attacking

@. Mr.. President. sir. a lot oil
people are discussing Mr.. Khru-
shchev's forum that he had
yesterday for presenting his at
tacks on our governmental pol
icy and our system and our
basic PHILOSOPHERS.
Do you think when you &c
to Russia that you will get the
same kind Of forum, and dc
you think that. as a guest OF
that country, 1t will be right
for you to attack them SINH
larry.
A. Well, I would hesitate To
say I would attack anything in
that country, for this simple
reason:
I believe the best way to pre-
sent a message, If you have it,
is to try to do 1t constructively
to show what America is in
terested in, what we would like
TO see the world be and what
we think the issues are that we
think are important, and the
principles that are important
I would not think it profit
able, even If humanity once in
a while you would like to take
that line-I think it would not
be profitable to be in a position
of attacking.
