Failure of Russians To Keep Agreements One of Major

Ominous as the outlook
seems at the moment, I do not

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

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

died Russia was making rela
tions between our two coun
tries difficult.
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

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.

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.

with Russia in her violation
of agreements for free elec
tions by the governments in
