SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, Odober 6, 1957 Mrs. Roosevelt, Nikita Khrushchev iscuss Peace Between Two Nations By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT Cincinnati, Ohio In an ef fort to find out if Nikita S. Khrushchev, chief of the Com munist party in the Soviet Union, thinks the Communist world can ever live in peace with its democratic neighbors, I posed questions on this point to him in our recent recorded in terview at Yalta. Continuing, here is that part of the interview: Roosevelt: Mr. Khrushchev, I would like to go on and ask my next question. We were not suspicious of the U.S. S R. at fh-st. We had fought the war together. I know my husband, and I think President Truman, had a real hope that we would be able to come to under standings. Now, it was felt in the U.S. that some of the agreements made at Yalta were not strictly kept by the U.S.S.R., and sus picion began to grow. I regret to say that I think this suspicion was partly because there had been so little intercourse be tween the two countries. I am afraid that today we have really got to do something on both sides before we begin to regain confidence, so we would like even though you think our proposal for some kind of inspection is impractical, since either side may hide what they are producing we still would like to feel that an effort to come to some kind of agreement is being made, even though neither of us thought our agree ment was completely adequate. Our people would like to feel there was more willingness on the part of the Soviets to con sider a proposal that is not their own but is a proposal from the West. Khrushchev: About the Yalta agreement, we have different points of view as to who broke that agreement. We cannot aeree on the policy of the U.S.A. that they want to liberate the Eu ropean and Eastern countries from socialism. They not only an nounced it, but they also gave money for it. They have estab lished radio stations and have arranged propaganda. They blame, us that we are responsible that Czechoslovakia established a socialist regime in its country. But it is well known that when the revolution hap pened in Czechoslovakia, not a single Russian soldier was in their territory. You know, Mrs. Roosevelt, what happened in Greece the will of the people was destroyed by English tanks. Even Mr. Churchill himself went through the country in a tank, and so the will of the people was -destroyed. After the English troops left, American troorts moved in. Roosevelt: Would you mind my saying that we believed it was not the will of the people? We believed that the majority of the people wanted their King back and did not want the social ists. You see, that is the differ ence between us. a So I would like to go on to my third question, which is: Does the government of the Soviet Union still believe that a Communist world must be brought about? Do they believe two systems can exist in peace because that is the crux of the whole matter? You say we have tried to keep these nations from becoming socialist nations, but it is be cause we think that the Soviet Union wishes to spread through out the world, not only through the use of s,oldiers but through other agents, that our suspicion has grown. Khrushchev: Am I also an agent? Roosevelt: You may have been, for all I know. But what would be believed at home would be that you had arranged for the agents. Khrushchev: By whom ar ranged? Rooseveltr I think it is be lieved that there is a constant effort let us say suggestion from people that this is the way the world is going to be. Now, we don't believe that this is the way the world has .to be. We can believe in our way and you in your way. Khrushchev: That is why we brought our agents the agents of different philosophies into the United Nations. Roosevelt: Can they live in the same world without trying to undermine each other and, there fore, threatening everybody, or are we going to continue this constant threat of war because both of us think the other is try ing to promote only their philos ophy for the whole world? Khrushchev: Two questions, Mrs. Roosevelt, two questions. The first one about two philos ophies which may live in peace. No doubt about it, Mrs. Roose velt, we must live in peace, we must live, we must. (Dr. David Gurewitsch breaking in: Not ; only we must live in peace, but i we want to live in peace and j we strive to live in peace in the I U.S.) ! Roosevelt: I agree. Khrushchev: We also want to have, you see, something com mon in our economic activity, in our cultural life. Roosevelt: Must your philos ophy alone spread in the whole world because that seems to be the motto, at the top of your newspaper, Pravda", for instance? Khrushchev: Yes. We have a motto: "Proletarians of all the world, unite." That was not my idea. We differ about our for eign systems. I have, never hid den myself from such questions. This is my statement which, I am sure, I told your Columbia Broadcasting System: Commu nism will win in the whole world. This is scientifically based on the writings of Karl Marx, Engels, and Lerfln. Your people in the U.S. are cultured people, so you know trfat all kinds of changes take place in economics and how the relations between nations change .feudalism, capitalism, then socialism. And the highest state will be communism.- It is well known this is the meaning of history. When a state changes its order, this is the business of the people themselves. We are against any military1 attempt to introduce communism or social ism into any country, as well as we are against your interfer ence to re-establish capitalism in our country through military in tervention. That is why we stand firmly for coexistence and col laboration. Roosevelt: I would agree that changes come about in the world. I would agree that no military action should bring about these changes. I would also say that it is essential that there be no in terference by our country in countries that are Communist, except through peaceful inter change and observation. But this should hold good, too, for socialist countries. If there is a drive to put over Commu nist ideas, it makes it very dif ficult to live in a peaceful atmos phere. . Krushchev: If we speak about interference, Mrs. Roosevelt you know what your State Depart ment does in this sphere. Let Mr. Dulles inform what Mr. Henderson had in view when he visited Turkey and the rest of the countries of the Far East. Mr. Henderson had a rather dirty mission. Roosevelt: I think the whole Near Eastern situation has "been a very bad situation, but we feel that the Soviet Union start ed it when they first let Czech oslovakian arms go to Cairo. We know today that it was Soviet or satellite arms that were used by the Egyptians. You must know that for a long time the Egyptians had had been telling Israel they were going to drive them into the sea. Israel was created as a state by the United Nations. It is a state which could "help, because it has advanced tech nicians to improve the living conditions of the whole Near Eastern area if once all those nations would sit down togeth er for peaceful discussion. But now you are building up Syrian arms to preserve what you call Syria's neutrality. The other day, I read in the newspaper here that 117 million dollars had been' given by us to Israel and that we had told Is rael to move into the demilitar ized zone between Syria and Israel. Now, we may have given the money, but we never told them to move into the demilit arized zone. Of that, I am sure. I believe this situation could have been vastly improved long ago by both the Soviets and ourselves. Because of the flow of Soviet arms to Egypt and Syria, we now feel that when the other Arab states ask for arms, we must help them. My feeling is that if neither of us gave any arms but helped to improve the living conditions New Army Recruiter Assumes Dulies Here Master Sgt. Stanley Liput has been appointed new Army re cruiting representative for the Medford area. He fills a three month old vacancy. Liput is a veteran of 22 years active duty with the Army, serv ing both as an enlisted man and as a commissioned officer. He first enlisted in the Army in 1953.
