Dulles Charges
Reds Use Peace
Talks for Blind
By GEORGE McARTHUR
PARIS UH Secretary of State
Dulles arrived Thursday from
Berlin where he declared in a
hard - hitting speech that Red
China and the Soviet Union are
bent on dominating the world.
Dulles is here to brief U.S. am
bassadors in Europe after the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion conference in Copenhagen.
The NATO foreign ministers
backed Dulles' tough approach to
the question of a summit confer
ence world tensions.
Dulles left no doubt in his
speech to West Berlin's Parlia
ment that the United States will
look carefully behind any Com
munist words, no matter how al
luring. 'Red Smokescreen'
He declared the Soviet Union
was using talk of disarmament as
a smokescreen to "produce a
world dominated by the military
power of the Chinese-Soviet bloc."
"The Soviet government," he
added, "is attempting by every
act of propaganda to compel the
abandonment of our (military)
shield.
"It claims that those who create
that shield are 'aggressive group
ings." It claims that- those who
seek only defense should prove it
by renouncing all but inferior
weapons, leaving modern weapons
to be a monopoly of those who
have a tragically long record of
expansion by the use of violence.
"But when we try to make it
possible to revise them on the
basis of reciprocal international
inspection that will give a large
measure of assurance against sur
prise attack, the Soviets say
'Nyet.' They did so again at the
United Nations Security Council
last week.
'No Adequate Defense'
"The Soviet Union professes no
to want to use nuclear weapons
in its own arsenals. It calls on the
free world to rely upon Soviet
promises not to use its nuclear
weapons in the event of war . . .''
Dulles said if the non-Communist
world accepted this line
"freedom would have no adequate
defense."
"There is a duty," he added,
"to look behind words that sound
alluring and to see and reject the
underlying plot against freedom."
Dulles said the Kremlin leaders
were athestic materialists whose
agreemnts carry no moral sanction.
