In Perspective

The Geneva talks must be
viewed in the perspective of
worldwide problems and poll
cies.
In a world of change and
growth, many ferments are at
work: Nationalism, anti-coloni-
alism, the yearning of the des-
titute for a fuller life. We must
try better to understand these
forces and to influence newt
able change along peaceful evo-
lutionary courses.
The Communists have won
successes in exploiting the cur
rents of change for their own
revolutionary purposes. But
lately there has developed
among many peoples a fresh
understanding of the real pur-
poses of Communist imperial
ism. The Red tide that threat
ems Iraq is bringing home to the
Arab peoples the Kremlin's de-
signs on the Middle East. The
ruthless Soviet repression of the
Hungarian revolt showed what
the SovietS mean when they
profess no interference in the
internal affairs of other coun-
tries. And now the tragic events
in Tibet have dramatized in
blood the clear and present
Chinese Communist threat to
all free Asians.
In our struggle for the flu
ture of mankind, America seeks
peace by outlawing the aggres-
sive use of force and by gradu-

Hope for Summit

The President and / hope
that the Geneva conference will
so develop as to lead to q Sum-
NIT Conference. President Eli
senhower has stated publicly
his readiness to attend q Sum-
init meeting II developments at
the Foreign Ministers confer
ence justified 1t.
This means that the Foreign
Ministers meeting must give
some promise that a Summit
meeting would have a reason
able prospect Of advancing the
cause of peace. The eyes of
the world are bound to be To-
cused on a meeting of the heads
Of government.
1t would be unfair to all peo-
Piles to risk shattering their
hopes and expectations by en-
gaging in Summit talks under
conditions likely to produce
failure.
One fact must be faced
squarely. Fear and appeasement
will not in the long run reduce
the danger of war. Only cour-
age and a firm stand on our
rights and principles can do
this.
Once the Communist rulers
soberly realize the depth Of our
solemn Berlin commitment, we
believe they will refrain from
putting to trial by force the
present right and obligation of
the Western powers to preserve
the freedom Of the people of
West Berlin.

Sound and Just

Some may think the Western
position is not realistic because
the Soviet Union may well re-
ject it. This to my mind is GER
tainly no reason for failing to
set forth a proposal we believe
to be both sound and just. We
shall make every effort to con-
vince the Soviet representa-
tives that its acceptance would
be in their interest as well as
in our own.
If the Soviets do not seriously
want to negotiate at Geneva,
the world will see that 1t is the
Soviet Union alone which is
blocking the free choice Of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-08
Not Much Optimism

My fellow Americans, let me
be frank with you. I do not
go to Geneva with great expec-
tations. The past record Of
negotiating with the Soviets
does not warrant much opti-
mism. Although the Western
powers have constantly sought
agreement, we must not lose
sight Of the deep gulf that I'M
fortunately divides the free
world from the Communist
bloc.
Negotiations with the Soviets
can be very long-drawn-out.
We should not expect quick or
easy agreement. Some 400
meetings with Soviet represen-
tatives were required to reach
agreement on the state treaty
which restored freedom to Aus
tria in 1855.
Since it is our national
characteristic to get things done
quickly, we Americans are per-
haps inclined to be impatient of
delays in solving international
problems.
We must learn new patience
in dealing with questions in
which war or peace may be at
stake. The best we can look
for is slow progress toward
the ultimate goal of interna-
tional stability which only a
just peace will bring.
We shall go into the Geneva
talks with these general pur-
poses:
Honestly and in good faith to
seek some advance, even If
small, toward just peace.
/ To stand firm against pres
sure. We aim to make perfectly
clear to the Soviets once again
that we have the power and
the will to maintain free world
positions. We do not intend to
give the Soviets any reason to
think that pressure tactics will
profit them or divide and weak
en- the West.
To strive to probe Soviet
intentions so as to obtain a
better idea of their thinking.
There is some chance that,
even if no broad agreements
are reached at these talks, bet

This Is an era In which, with

The Record

How did the latest tensions
revolving around Berlin-get
started? Let's take a look at
the record.
The Soviet Union deliberately
created the crisis from which
the Geneva conference results.
The Soviet diplomatic note on
Berlin Of November q, 1858,
contained both a demand and
a threat.
The demand was that the
three Western powers with
draw their forces from West
Berlin. The Western powers
with unanimous NATO support
rejected that demand. Our
forces are in the city under
rights arising out of the war
and subsequent international
agreements.
If they withdrew, West Ber-
Inns two-and-a-quarter-million
people would be at the mercy
of the Communist imperialiSt
power which surrounds them,
You will recall that Berlin is
separated from West Germany
by more than one hundred
miles of Communist territory.
The threat in the Soviet note
was that the Soviet Union
would abandon it's existing OBJ
legations to assure free access
to Western forces in Berlin.
1t would do this by turning
over to its puppet, the East
German regime. its control Of
the access routes. It would
then be up to the East Ger
mans to decide what, if any
access the United States, the
United Kingdom and France
could have to West Berlin.

Peace Is Foremost

The most pressing problem
Of course. ~ that Of peace. In
a world which is rapidly ex-
plotting nuclear energy and
thrusting into outer space. the
maintenance Of peace among
the nations is more urgent than
ever before In history.
Beyond the present crisis
looms a long period Of COM
petition between the free world
and the Communist bloc. II the
Communists have the faith
they profess in their system,
they should not oppose open
and fair competition with the
free lands. We welcome such
competition. We have conf
dence in freedoms future.
I even dare to hope that as
the interdependence Of all peo-
Piles on earth becomes more
evident, competition will in
creasingly be tempered by CO.
operation. 1t is not impossible
that the present aggressive
phase of international COM
munism will be succeeded by
a period of more responsible
Soviet policies.
If war is to be contained in
this nuclear era, the great
powers have to exercise re-
straint in dealing with the
crises spontaneously generated
by the tides of change ano
growth now surging through
the world.
Control of these crises must
be governed by reasonable
agreements among the nations
as we'll as through the opera

ment.

The Soviet Challenge

The Soviet Union, after hav-
ing created the crisis over Ber-
lin, has agreed that a Foreign
Ministers conference be held in
Geneva to discuss all the fac
tors involved in the continued
division of Germany, including
Berlin, and European security.
The challenge from the So
Wet Union has thus created an
opportunity. This is a chance
to settle not just the problem
of Berlin, but, much more i'm
portant, the problem Of the re-
unification of Germany. There
can be no lasting solution for
Berlin itself. The problem ceases
to exist only when that city
again becomes an integral part
of united Germany.
The United States will use its
best efforts in seeking a solu-
ton to the problem of divided
Germany. We are convinced
that as long as Germany re-
mains divided, the peace in
Europe will continue to be
threatened. And twice in this
century we have seen that when
major war comes to Europe it
comes to all the world. In the
meantime, a precarious peace
will live hand-to-mouth from
month to month.
Fears have been entertained
that a reunited Germany would
be a threat to peace. Provided
German Identification is inte-
grated with European security
measures, as We shall propose
at Geneva, the contrary is true.
A Germany united in connec-
ton with European security
measures can and will play a
constructive and peaceful role
in the development Of Europe
as a whole.
The Western Allies are hope
full that the Soviet Union will
see the wisdom of this ap-
proach. Surely, it must become
apparent to them that in the
long run they face a greater
danger from continuing the
disunity of Germany.

'elevisioH talk by Secretary Of
night.
German people and the chance
for true peace.
The basic principles that win
guide US In the coming talks
are clear.
First, we believe In unity for
the German people In one ma
ton. under a government Of
their own choice. We cannot
accept a permanently divided
Germany.
We recognize, however. that
the consequences Of the divi-
sion Of Germany during the
last IA years cannot be removed
overnight. Identification will
therefore have 10 be a gradual
process. assuring time for all
the peoples concerned TO adj
Just to the change.
Second, we believe that there
should be ample security safe
guards and arms control ar
rangements for the nations so
that they can have assurance
Of being able TO develop In
peace and prosperity.
Third. we believe in guaran-
teed freedom for Berlin. with
no reduction Of existing rights
and obligations, until Berlin
can again assume its appropri-
ate place in q united Germany.
Thus. the heart Of our policy
can be clearly and simply said
to be this: A Germany reunited
In freedom, a security system
linked with arrangements for
arms control, and in the in
term a free and secure Berlin.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-08

Ter mutual understanding might
still result.
To seek agreements that
mean something. We shall try
10 reach agreements which rely
either on self-enforcing pro-
visions or on the obvious self
interest Of the nations con-
cerned.
To seek TO relax tension. We
want to lessen the strains on
free world-C Communist bloc re-
lations so as TO reduce the
dangers Of war and promote
the chance OF further progress.
But we seek solid accomplish
ments and not merely deceptive
promises.

Fellow Americans;
Tomorrow / leave for Geneva
20 participate with the other
foreign ministers in negotia-
lions with the Soviet Union on
the problems resulting from the
continued division Of Germany.
President Eisenhower has ask
ed me In this. my FIRST report
10 you, 10 discuss these prob
lens on the eve OF the con-
ference.
For six years that great
statesman, John Foster Dulles,
represented the United States
In negotiations with the Soviet
Union. People all over the
world have been paying tribute
10 his remarkable work In the
cause Of peace with justice. His
wise and courageous example
will serve us well in the days
TO come.
I should like to assure you
that there will be no lack OF
continuity in our foreign policy.
The position we have adopted
for the coming conference is
fully consistent with policies
developed over the past years.
Last week I met in Paris with
the Foreign Ministers OF France,
the United Kingdom, and the
Federal Republic Of Germany,
We reached complete agreement
on the Western position to be
presented to the Soviets at
Geneva. This position contains
fair solutions for the problems
of divided Germany including a
peace treaty, Berlin and Euro
pean security. The North At
lantic Council has given its APP
proval.
We therefore go to Geneva
with a united position. The Is
nations of the North Atlantic
Alliance are as one in saying
to the Soviet Union: If you are
willing to engage in honest
negotiation, here is a basis for
securing a lasting peace in Eu-
rope.
