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
