CONCESSIONS AT BERLIN WILL POUR
COMMUNISM OVER ENTIRE WORLD

For, make mistake about it. Mr. President your
concessions to Khrushchev will open the food gates
before the Red Tide in every of the world Not
merely in Laos Wet Nam and the Congo will this dynamic
diabosm then riot but Europe South Central
and North America well
You surely know Mr.. President. that it is not NATO,
SEATO the UN. that has far Semmed this ruth
less tide of Communist conquest Nothing earth
will turn that turgd tide except the strength power and
resolution of your United States When that bastion
is withdrawn human freedom and Christian civilization
will be swept from the earth.
In spite of long and sinful series of vacatiOns
concessions, and positive benefactionS to Communism in
Russia, China Yugoslavia Poland Hungary Cuba, and
elsewhere the submerged people of the Communist world
still conscious of power and still pray earnestly
that day may find the will to that power in
interest and for protection through their
liberation from Communist bondage.
1t true of course that we have done less than nothing
encourage the faith and hope in that still fingers
behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains Nevertheless these
submerged and suffering people know that with the first
breath of its new independent life remarkable Re-
public proclaimed that liberty Gods gift to all and
that Government then and there instituted and
dedicated protect that God given liberty We symbozed
that purposeful dedication for $50 years.

nations including East Germany All KhrushChev wants
you to do to confirm this brutal conquest and freeze
the hopes of freedom in the hearts of 100 million Com
munist-held slaves.
But you will not do that Mr. President, if you recall
and respect the Captive Nations Resolution which
passed by Congress without dissenting vote while you
member of the Senate in 1859 (Manion Forum
Broadcast No. 253) That resolution should be required
reading for Secretary Rusk and others who will brief you
for these fateful negotiations about Berlin.
Among other things that resolution states that the
desire liberty and independence part of these Com
munist controlled nations must be seadfastly kept alive
powerful deterrent to war; 1t demands that clearly
manifest these conquered people that the United States
shares with them their aspirations for the recovery OF
their freedom and independence"
And yet strangely enough the editorial page of the
NEW YORK TIMES, which so frequently previews the
policies and plans of your Administration recently stated

order to avert bloodshed and We must, under
principles live with evil if by doing we help to
