USSR pursues a course unswervingly aimed at peace, unity among the
nations and democracy for all, the United States, prodded by a relatively
small group of reactionaries in high places, pursues a policy detrimental
to the people and, at worst, engendering conflict. Nowhere does Moscow
voice the opinion that the basic interests of the two nations bring them
into opposition. Trouble arises only insofar as the United States departs
from the policy enunciated by President Roosevelt and, in opposition to
the will of the American people, moves in the direction of imperialism.
The most succinct and perhaps the sharpest expression of divergencies
between the two countries appears in a "Pravda" comment on the American
plan for international control of atomic energy. Summarizing the "Pravda"
statement in a broadcast to Japan, Moscow states:
"The Soviet proposals and the American plan, the "Pravda"
observer concludes, reveal two different trends in current
international politics. The first reflects the unswerving
Soviet policy of peace and the defense of universal security.
The American plan is the product of atomic diplomacy and re-
flects an obvious desire for world domination, but nowadays
desires of that sort have no chance for success.
"
As Moscow sees it, the United States must, and if the great mass of
the American people have their way, inevitably will abandon its "desire
for world domination" in favor of a foreign policy in which the two
nations may live in harmony.
