equitable terms or its bad faith in observing them would
assist in consolidating popular opinion in the free
world in support of the measures necessary to sustain
the build-up.
In summary, ve must, by means of a rapid and sus-
tained build-up of the political, economic, and military
strength of the free vorld, and by means of an affirma-
tive program intended to wrest the initiative from the
Soviet Union, confront it with convincing evidence of
the determination and ability of the free world to
frustrate the Kremlin design of a world dominated by
its vill. Such evidence is the only means short of war
which eventually may force the Kremlin to abandon its
present course of action and to negotiate acceptable
agreements on issues of major importance.
The vhole success of the proposed program hangs
ultimately on recognition by this Government, the
American people and all free peoples that the cold var
is in fact a real var in which the survival of the free
world is at stake. Essential prerequisites to succesa
are consultations with Congressional leaders designed
to make the program the object of nonpertisan legisla-
tive support, and a presentation to the public of a full
explanation of the facts and implications of the present
international situation. The prosecution of the program
vill require of us all the ingenuity, sacrifice, and
unity demanded by the vital importance of the issue and
the tenacity to perseverountil our national objectives
have been attained.
