Ominous as the outlook seems at the moment, I do not think Russia will dare to em broil the world in war. for she Irnowt the eonequncs to her as to everyone else in such a senseless business. So long as Russia insists on using methods short of war we must not give her any reason to suppose that we are wiaV or enn n bullied submission to her designs. We will never yield to0 ap peasement but always keep1 the door open to peaceful negotiations through the Uni ted Nations. (Continued from Pane 11 For 15 years, ever since the end of the bloodiest war in history, most of our obstacles in trying to organize fnr peace have been in the Kremlin, where the masters and the plotters of subversion, espion age and aggression have had their world headquarters. Three presidents have trav eled to meet with the Russian dictators in an effort to reach agreements and cooperation for more peaceful relations. Major agreements were en tered into and almost imme diately thereafter broken in total disregard not only of the pledges made but in violation of the hopes of the new world we had been trying to build. Every world crisis we have had since the end of the war has been Russian inspired and Russian planned. The cnld war is Russian made. The record of Soviet betrayals and bedevilment of would-be free countries is unprecedented in history. Just look at what the Kremlin has done to Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Ru mania and Hungary, Mistakes of Judgment The free world may have made mistakes. But they have been mistakes of judgment and not of evil intent. But the free governments of the West will continue tire less and patient in their search for peace and a working agreement with Russia, sun ported by strength to main tain that peace. The free coun tries of tiie West will not be panicked by Kremlin threats or Khrushchev's displays of temper and name calling, so reminiscent of the rages of Hitler, who, loo, was fore doomed to failure. And lest Khrushchev and the Kremlin masters forget, it was American aid that helped save the Russian people from foreign subjugation. And I think it is about time they were again remi.ided of it. Those of us who have had direct experience in dealing with the Kremlin are sur prised that anyone in author ity could have been surprised at what happened to the sum mit conference in Paris. This meeting was just another opportunity for the Russians to renew threats and to launch further Communist propaganda in an attempt to divide the free world and to break up the NATO and the Pacific alliances. Summit Won't Work I think that no further sum mit meetings can now be held, except und:;r the auspices of the United Nations. I know something of the nature of summit meetings and I know they won't work as they are conducted. The fate of the world should not be thrown into jeopardy by exposing it to the whim of any one man who sets himself up as final authority. The United Nations w as established to prevent the arbitrary imposition of the will of any one person or na tion on the rest of the world. The summit conference has been nothing but an attempt to bypass the United Nations and thereby in the long run to destroy its usefulness and role as a force for peace. After my meetings with Stalin and Churchill and Att lee at Potsdam, I refused to hold any further meetings of heads of government as long as I was President. I have little faith in summit meetings as a means of nego tiating solutions for problems that divide us from the Com munist world. Russia's failure to keep agreements made' at Yalta and Potsdam made any such further meetings of heads of state useless. Stalin, by ignoring his obligations sol emnly entered into, was in effect trying to impose his own will upon the free world. Making Relations Difficult Khrushchev in Paris recent ly attempted to distort history once again by saying that the death of President Roosevelt ended a period of good rela tions between the United States and Russia. But the truth is that for some time before Roosevelt Section B Vf-AXT Medford Pages 1-12 Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1960 They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo "TV ouv WHO SOLD THE.

Long before Roosevelt un dertook Ihe arduous journey to Yalta, he had already indi cated misgivings about Rus sia's intentions with some of us. On his return, when he and I met to arrange for his appearance before a joint ses sion of Congress to report on Yalta, he confided to me his concern about Stalin's atti tude and Russia's role in the future. When, on the death of Roosevelt, I became Presi dent, I was soon to realize the difficulties we would have with Communist Russia. When Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin asked me to arrange to meet with them to discuss future plans, I was at first reluctant to agree to such a meeting. But because at that Pet Snake Needs a Wife, Claims Boy Miami, Fla. - Eleven-year- old Skipper Hoagland has a pet kitten named Boots and pet boa constrictor named Pepe. Boots doesn't eat mice but Pepe does. The snake gets along fine with the cat. but not with Skipper's mother, Mrs. Cal vin Hoagland. "I'm scared stiff of snakes," she said, noting she often comes upon Pepe unexpected ly while she's dusting the house. "He'll grow to be 12 feet long," said Skipper cheerful ly. "I'm saving up to get Pepe a wife-a lady snake." time we were anxious to get Russia to open up another front against Japan, I went to Potsdam. We entered into 32 agreements at Potsdam, none of which were kept by Stalin or his successors. It was clear to me after that what the United States and the free world were up against and what we had to do to meet the situation. Peace Treaty Threat Khrushchev has been re newing his threat to make a separate peace treaty with East Germany, although he well knows that there can be no final treaty regarding Ger many unless France, Britain and the United States are parties to such a treaty. And the West will not agree to a final peace treaty with Ger many until all Germany is united in a free election, as Stalin agreed to do at the conferences at Yalta and Pots dam. This is also the time to re mind Khrushchev that under the agreements covering the occupation of Germany, the Four Powers-Britain, France, the United Slates and the Soviet Union were to act in joint control of all occupied areas and that no one of the four Allies was to exercise exclusive control or veto over any one part of the occupied territory. If Khrushchev now at tempts to sign a separate treaty with East Germany, he will be adding yet another violation to a long series. And he may be sure that the Allies will not yield to his arbitrary breach of an agreement, and if he insists on going through with it, it will be Khrushchev who will precipitate a danger ous situation. Khrushchev, In his further effort to twist history, cites our separate negotiations for a treaty with Japan as an excuse for his making a sep arate treaty with East Ger many. In the first place, there is absolutely no parallel be tween events in Japan and Germany. Russia's participa tion in the war against Japan was not only a mere token but belated and of no help. Russia moved only when the risk was small and designed to provide her with an oppor tunity for loot and repara tions, to strip Manchuria, which she did, and to stake out her territorial claims on China. But the primary reason why Russia was excluded from the negotiations with Tokyo for a final peace treaty was my determination to avoid repeti tion of the experience we had with Russia in Germany. I feared that if Russia em ployed the same tactics of division, confusion, p r o p a ganda and subversion in Ja pan, we would never be able to restore Japan to normal life or achieve peaceful rela tions with her. The recovery of Japan and her quick rise to a position of respect, honor and responsibility among the free nations would have been thwarted by Russia, as is now the case with the puppet setup in East Germany. The different between East Germany and West Germany is understandably irritating to Khrushchev and his military clique. He docs not dare tell his own people what the rest of the world knows why there is that difference. Slavery vs. Freedom It is the difference between slavery and freedom. And there is no better example of the difference between free dom and slavery than what the Japanese people were able to do with our help and what the Russians would have imposed on Japan If we had allowed them to meddle and divide there as they did in Germany. The experience that we had with Russia in her violation of agreements for free elec tions by the governments in Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria frigidAtrr WM mm How you tan afford to own the best Frigidaire!
