At the same time this kind of activity is going on, Mr.
Acheson continued, Soviet peace propaganda is wide-spread. The
Soviets keep trying to get us into "discussions." They are vigorously
organizing "Partisans for Peace," which they seem to be trying to
turn into a rival of the United Nations.
Mr. Acheson said that the major effort of the Soviets at
this time is to disrupt us from our allies and that this effort is,
indeed, meeting with some success.
Mr. Acheson said that there was only one possible step open
to us and that was the greatest possible build-up of our own military
strength and the military strength of our allies. Nothing else could
stop the drive of the Soviet Union for world domination.
The President then asked General Marshall to describe the
current military picture.
