methods and objectives. At the present time is it not interesting that the
Russians show us how, if disarmament is to produce any particular rewards,
we must continue to hold to our familiar terms ? - realistic safeguards and
equal measures of disarmement. we must not delude either ourselves or
others into thinking that we expect there is a magic formula to escape the
protracted struggle with the Soviet system. We should hope and work toward
ending it by the growing release of forces of freedom inside and behind the
Iron Curtain everywhere. We do not accelerate this movement by either disengage-
ment or delusion. Nor do we really reassure the rest of the world, and
certainly not ourselves, by allowing Kruschev to play upon us like a flute -
responding to his every move with notes of plaintiveness or wishful proffers.
There are times when to reaffirm is the best method both to affirm and to
test any real will to negotiate for a genuine - not a communist - basis for
co-existence, even for cooperation.
The President has an ample opportunity to summarise the case and to
sum it up - as he did in the "Atoms for Peace" speech - so that all the world,
most of all, we, ourselves - can know where we stand, why, and how.
