Truman Cautions on PossobfiDify off Suspicion by AODSes
fln UVuiCtoyan Visit; BtecDaredl No Way To Conduct (Business
(Continued from Pago On)
The first thing these peo
ple must understand is that,
under our Constitution, there
Is only one place where for
eign policy is made, and that
is in the "White House, and
by no one other than the
President of the United Stat
es himself. He cannot dele
gate or share this responsibil
ity, nor can others assume it.
And until the President of
the United States decides
what our foreign policy is
and says what it is and stays
with it, any statements or
declarations made by diplo
matic tourists serve no use
ful purpose in our relations
with the Communist world.
American Tradition
We always wish to be gen
erous and agreeable hosts.
- This is an American tradition,
but let us not deceive our
selves about the method of
solving our acute diplomatic
ills in our relations with the
Kremlin. Surely, the visit to
this country by Mikoyan, os
tensibly as a tourist but in
reality in. a mood to negoti
ate, is not the way to do offi
cial business, diplomatic or
otherwise, with the United
States. It could arouse suspi
cion among our Allies that
we are susceptible to unilat
eral negotiations with Russia
which would be harmful to
the cause of the free West.
Since leaving the White
House, I frequently have
been called on by represent
tives of foreign governments.
More recently, while in
Washington to see the open
ing of the 86th Congress, a
responsible representative of
one of our principal Allies
came to see me at the request
of the head of his govern
ment. The purpose of his call
was to ten me of his coun
try's fears that we in the
United States do not have a
clear understanding of the
dangers confronting his gov
ernment and the free nations
of the world today.
Free to Talk
I told him that he was free,
of course, to talk to anyone
in this country, but for practi
cal reasons there was no pur
pose in his talking to anyone
except, the President of . the
United States, and that he
should try to see him or his
constitutional representative.
I would caution some of
our well-meaning, sel reap
pointed, self-assumed peace
makers to be careful lest
they forget, in their ardor,
that the President makes for
eign policy and they may in
advertently lend themselves
to the propaganda purposes
of our adversaries. '
We must face the fact that
unless the President of the
United States is fully inform
ed and is acutely sensitive to
all the intplif ations of all that
is going on all over the globe,
we will be in grave trouble
indeed.
The President, who has ac
cess to sources and types of
information available to no
one else, should be in a bet
ter position to arrive at judg
ments to shape our foreign
policy. Any suggestions of di
vision among ourselves at
this time on the aims of our
foreign policy can only serve
the Communist propagan
dists. Fail to Balance Feared
With reference to Miko
yan's visit, I am less appre?
hensive about the rank and
file of the people being taken
in by Communist maneuvers
than I am about some of the
financiers and industrialist's
who are so easily affected by
a prospective source of new
business that they fail to bal
ance this interest against the
national interests and the se
curity of the country as a
whole.
We have had tragic exper
iences with this kind of short
sightedness and gullibility
prior to and during the sec
ond world war.
I have always favored tour
ist exchanges between our
two opposing systems in the
broadest possible manner. We
should encourage teachers,
students, artists,, far mers,
businessmen, financiers, in
dustrialists, members of gov
ernment and other represen
tative officials and groups to
visit Russia and to receive
similar groups coming to us
from Russia.
I am glad, therefore, that
so many of our businessmen,
writers, journalists and politi
cal leaders have travelled to
Russia and were accorded
important interviews there.
Any new information that
came out of those interviews
was certainly a net gain.
But I do feel that in some
instances interviews by those
who are not journalists have
lent themselves unwittingly
to maneuvers of the Krem
lin to appeal to our people ov
er the heads of the govern
ment. I thinic that one of our dif
ficulties with the Russians in
recent years has been our
failure to realize that the
Communists have been acting
on the premise: "When you
are selling something, you
ask for more than you expect
to get." These are the words
of Mikoyan in his efforts to
explain to us Russia's tough
position on Berlin.
Where we made our mis
take in those years was giv
ing the Russians the impres
sion that we would yield to
bargaining and . trading and
that we would be for peace
at any price.
My experience with the
Kremlin taught me very ear
ly that to yield an inch in the
area of their expansionist
aims is fatal. They must un
derstand that we are for
peace on equitable and reas
onable terms and will not
yield to their pressure.
I know from experience j
that it is not enough for us
to keep saying that we want
peace. The Russians keep cjo
ing that, too.
We need to make our pur
poses and objectives clearly
understood at all times so
that the Russians cannot mis
lead or confuse the world by
their professions of peace.
Suggestions for Mikoyan -
One thing I hope Mikoyan
- shrewd observer that he is
- will tell the Kremlin is that
our free industrial and econ
omic society has no reason to
emulate Russian state capital
ism. As for Russian achieve
ment in military science, I
hope that Mikoyan, having
seen our industrial might and
potential - will realize our
capabilities to meet any Rus
sian challenge in that area -no
matter what gross mistak
es we have made or what
lapses in our leadership have
cost us.
I would suggest to Miko
yan that he also tell his peo
ple that while our people are
friendly and want peace,
they do not frighten easily.
Russia knows she has noth
ing to fear from us.-We covet
nothing she has. All we want
from Russia is her coopera
tion in assuring the peace of
the world. So far, she has
steadfastly refused.
Well, then, why is Mikoyan
here?
Perhaps one reason is that
Russia is seeking another
meeting at the "summit." It
would seem to me that Rus
sia now finds herself in trou
ble in the West and in the
East.
High Standard Seen
In the West, she has seen
devastated free Western Eu
rope emerge into mighty in
dustrial powers with their
people enjoying a high and
growing standard of living.
In dramatic contrast, Rus
sia chose to concentrate her
resources since the war on
building up military power
and to apply her scientific
skills to military purposes.
This she did at the expense
of the living standards of her
people.
Added to 1 her failure at
home to meet the needs of
her civilian population, she is
now confronted by serious
economic difficulties in her
satellite states.

At the same time West Ber
lin has become a constant re
minder of the startling dif-
ierence between free West
Berlin and Communist-captive
East Berlin. The com
parison is odious and annoy
ing to the Communists.
Mikoyan u n d e rstandablv
would like to arrange with
us to supply Russia with cer
tain goods and materials to
help bolster not only the Rus
sian economy but that of her
satellites.
Rumblings From Orient
Then there are rumblings
from the Orient which are
causing me jvremiin to re
evaluate its world position.
For Red China has made it
clear that she has her own
program which Russia fears
could conflict with her expan
sionist aims. The Kremlin
now faces her Frankenstein
monster in Red China and a
race between them to get con
trol of the Indian Ocean.
mere is unrest now in
outer Mongolia and Tibet, and
I am informed that this is
being fostered deliberately by
the Kremlin as a means of
checking China's expansion
It may be that before long
Russia might have reason to
seek the help of the West.
In the light of all this, let
us be sure that we are not
maneuvered by Mikoyan and
Khrushchev into a position of
serving" Russian expansionist
purposes
Above all, let us never stray
from our Allies in the for
mulation and carrying out of
our foreign policy. Now more
than ever we must stay to
gether and see this thing
through to a peaceful solu
tion. We must always stand
ready to negotiate and to con
fer with the Kremlin, but we
can hope for little progress
until Russia realizes that
peace is a two-way street.
