The Treaty

resolve to ratify the test-ban
treaty only when and If the
Soviet Union keeps q few of
its earlier commitments. 1t is
said this treaty is self-polic-
ing. but this is true in only.
q limited sense. 1t affords
America no protection against
the complacency which in
vtes dictators to start a war;
and not for Is years has this
threat been greater.
Certainly the SovietS want
a test ban now. In 1855, the
present administration would
have built thousands of B-52s
instead of designing Atlas; in
1859, they wanted to build
thousands of Aliases instead
of designing Minuteman; to-
day, the Soviets can cheer
fully watch us produce q
thousand each of Tx, Phan-
tom II, Polaris anc Minute
man. They will, Of course,
put their resources into de-
signs of 1868, not 1858, and
work toward their own YER
sions of nuclear aircraft,
Skybolt, Nike-zeus and Dyna-
soar. When they want to, they
will resume testing with a
three-month notice - and a
three-year leadl
America must maintain a
clear recognition that we will
not start a war, and a war
= will not start itself, but a
dictator will start any war
that he thinks he can win. In
today's atmosphere, when we
give Mr.. KhruShchev a
direct telephone to protect all
of us from the mistakes of
our generals, the proposed
treaty is a severe threat to
any clarity Of vision still re-
naming to us.

On August %, 1889, the
treaty Of non-aggression be-
tween Germany and the
Union Of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics was signed. Less than
two years later, June %,
1941, to be exact, Ribbentrop
announced that Germany
had begun hostilities against
the Russians. This an
nouncement was followed up
by the second German inva-
sion of Russia in one-quarter
Of a century.
Is it not possible that the
Russians are using the pro-
posed non-aggreSsion pact
and the nuclear test ban
treaty as a delaying tactic
to gain time to build up a
nuclear stockpile with which
they could wage war against
the United States?
Don't let the Russians be-
\ come too strong or they shall
conquer the worldl
A. w. BrOdie.
"If we signed such a pact
(test ban) with the Soviets,
there would develop a ire
mendous pressure to cut back
on our defenses, reduce the
size of our armed forces, and
curtail our ornaments. AS a
result, within a few years we
could be a sitting duck for
the Communists to pick off
whenever they felt the time
was ripe" So spoke John
Foster Dulles, Secretary Of
State under Mr.. Eisenhower.
in 1859.
Now Americas war for
survival against her mortal
enemy, communism, increases
in intensity. Communists, are
killing American soldiers in
Wet Nam in an about war
and in peaceful" Korea by
sneak attacks. Communist
slaves daily face death to
breach the prison wall sur
rounding West Berlin. Com
munist terrorists trained in
Cuba are spreading through
out Latin America to foment
trouble.
Averell Hartman throws
his arms around Khrushchev
and Is repaid with q vii
famous grin from the most
diabolical slave master in
history. This performance
was recorded on film for all
the world to see-for the
millions of Communist slaves
TO behold as their final and
absolute betrayal by their
last hope for freedom-the
United States.
Our leaders are proposing
a solution to the cold war

Of expediency, that you and
