These would permit emergency

Dulles Reaffirms Policy
Of Challenge To Russia
CHICAGO. Ml Western countries,
to meet Russia's new challenge to
their security, must bolster their
alliances and maintain "selective
retaliatory power," says Secretary
of State Dulles.
Slating that the Russians have
had no change in purpose but
'merely in tactics," Dulles said
last night, "Our capacity to re
taliate must be, and Is, massive
in order to deter all forms of ag
gression. "But If we have to use that
capacity," he added, "such use
would be selective and adapted to
the occasion."
The secretary of slate repeated
his massive retaliation theme In
a major foreign policy address at
a dinner meeting of the Illinois
Manufacturers Assn. When It was
llrst advanced somo two years ago
it frightened some Europeans but
Dulles stressed it was "a firm
foundation for peace."
tie asseru-d last night the policy
cuuecuve security backed bv
an "arsenal of retaliation" will
form "the ultimate deterrent"
against the possibility of full-scale
attack by the Soviet Union.
"What I have Just been savlne
Is what I said five years ago,"
he said.
-Dulles, who helnrri form thm ,ti-
Jective security program under the
Tiuman administration, added:
"That program has now become
I r.-allty."
The massive retaliation llvme
was first advanced by Dulles in a
snereh Jan. 12, 1054. He said the
united Stales v ould depnd prima
rily on "a great capacity to re
taliate Instantly by means and at
places of our own choosing ' to any
Communist attack.
Keara were voiced that this
of
might touch off World War III If
the United Stales reacted In such
a way to a minor Communist as
sault. Dulles Inter clarified, qualified
and expanded his statements. In
substance, he said the United
States had no intention of depend
ing merely on Its capacity for
massive atomic retaliation to scare
off possible Communist agftrcssors.
Instead, the United Stntes Would
deal separately with each case
in tne most appropriate manner i
and would mnko full use of local j
defense forces.
