vorld, specifically the capabilities of the masses who
have nothing to lose but their 'oviet chains, are a
octential which can be enlisted on our side.
Like our own capabilities, those of the rest of the
free world exceed the cepabilities of the Soviet system.
Like our own they are fer from being effectively mobilized
and employed in the struggle ageinst the Kremlin design.
This is so because the rest of the free vorld lacks a
sense of unity, confidence and common purpose. This is
true in even the most homogeneous and advanced segment
of the free world Europe.
Is we ourselves demonstrate power, confidence and 8
sense of moral and political direction, so those same
qualities will be evoked in "estern Europe. In such a
situation, we may also enticipate 0 general improvement
in the political tone in Latin America, Asie and Africa
and the real beginnings of awakening among the Soviet
totalitariat.
In the absence of affirmative decision on our part,
the rest of the free world is almost certain to become
demcralized. Our friends will become more than e liability
to us; they can eventually become e positive increment to
Soviet power.
In sum, the capabilities of our allies ere, in an
important sense, a function of our own. An.effirmetive
decision to summon up the potential within ourselves would
evoke. the potential strength within others and add it to
our own.
