Summit Aftermath

Regarding the collapse of
the summit meeting and the
U-2 incident, what does Con-
gresS hope to achieve by
haShing this matter all over
again? Surely nothing con-
structive can come of it, and
since this news is broadcast
worldwide it gives the peo-
Piles of other nations the i'm
preston that our President is
under criticism and is in
furious to our international
prestige.
What are they trying to do
find a scapegoat on whom
to lay the blame, or is this
their way of trying to belittle
the President merely for the
sake of what they might con-
slider a political coup in an
election year? What is done
is done, and I think the old
cliche is very apropos, LET
sleeping dogs lie." I hope Con-
greSs will heed the advice of
Senator Dirksen and forget
the matter entirely. Person.
ally, am thankful the sum-
NIT meeting did not take
place, for I am convinced we
would have gained nothing
but would have lost much by
appeaSement.

Press, radio and TV re-
ports of the struggle be-
tween the Western leaders
and Mr.. K over the past
many months have largely
covered up the basic fallacy
in the methods we are using
to provide world leadership
against the domination of
evil. With no thought of
criticizing the President and
his advisers, let us consider
three fundamental facts:
/. The citizens of the
Western nations as we'll as
those of all other lands want
peace, and do not want war
hot or cold.
2. The leader Of each
Western nation must be re-
sponsive to this fact or lose
his job; the leaders of the
Soviet Union and Red China
have not this direct reSpon-
Sibility.
3. Hence, the Red leaders
can, and do, play the diplo-
macy game-it might be
called the game of coexist-
ence-with marked" cards.
with all the misleading
tricks they can devise. The
Western leaders do not know
how to play the game that
way, and if they did know
how, their people would not
let them.
So the basic fallacy in our
methods is in trying to play
this game in their way. Our
only salvation is to play it
straight - right down the
middle-all the time-and
with no secrets. The Red
leaders know most of our
secrets anyway, so why fool
ourselves? Let us tell all the
people of the world all the
facts-of our strengths, Of
our weaknesses, of our plans,
of our hopes. Let us play
the game from the basis we
read in the Bible, Eye shall
know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free"
(John, viii. 22).
All mankind respects the
truth whether they dare to
admit it or not. And they
will follow a leadership that
bases its words and deeds on
truth. This truth will pene-
trate the Iron Curtain, the
Bamboo Curtain and every
other curtain because it is
divinely powered,
