effort to cajole them into
support Of the Communist
bloc. Fourteen were admitted
this week. 1t is by no means
clear that these new nations
will look with any more favor
on the Communist colonial
ism" than on the old colonial
system of the European
powers-nor will their Asian
colleagues who have seen the
Red Chinese in operation
against Tibet and along the
borders of India.
President Eisenhower,
speaking the day before Mr..
Khrushchev at the General
Assembly, outlined a many
pronged program for dis
armament and world peace.
1t provides for an adequate
system of inspection and con-
trolls, to be established before
this country and others hav-
ing nuclear arms give UP
those arms and agree to
produce no more. In view of
the secrecy insisted upon by
Mr.. KhruShchev and his
Communist government, its
Iron Curtain, and in view of
the failure of the USSR to
live up to its international
commitments in the past, the
free world and the neutral
nations could ask no less of
the Soviet.
A Lesson for Kennedy
The President of the
United States clearly spoke
as a leader of the free ma
tions. His whole plan look
ing to peace has been widely
acclaimed. The Presidents
critics in this country-among
them the present Democratic
candidate for President,
Senator John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts, - could with
benefit pay heed to this
Eisenhower leadership. And
the American people may
with profit measure this
leadership against the prom
ises of Senator Kennedy. un-
tried as he is in interna-
tional negotiations. For the
President of the United States
has taken a bold step again,
asserting the leadership
needed from the United
States and the American
people and pledging this
country's utmost support of
the United Nations.
Mr.. Khrushchev, in his
plans for revamping the U.N.
to conform better to Com
munist purposes, has now
suggested that the head
quarters of the world agency
be moved from New York
to Switzerland or Austria.
This suggestion may have
been activated in his mind
by the refusal of the State
Department to allow him to
roam at will through this
country, whose President he
personally insulted in Paris
and whose invitation to visit
Russia was withdrawn. Mr..
KhruShchev has found that
he lost prestige and ground
when he arbitrarily broke up
the planned Summit confer
ence in Paris. 1t is noticeable
that he is throwing out hints
he would be willing to con-
fer with Mr.. Eisenhower now,
but that the invitation would
have to come from the White
House. The President is
dedicated to the cause of
world peace-but that is no
reason he should be asked
to swallow an insult from the
Russian Premier and then
tll1.n the other cheek

;
I wish to commend you on
your fine coverage of the
KhruShchev visit. Factual
news reporting is one of our
strongest weapons in COM
batting communism. Ameri-
cans should strive to keep
better informed on current
events-not behave like os-
triches who pretend Mr.. K.
