Eisenhower launches peace drive as opening round
President Eisenhower frames world peace and armament cuts as the first step in a broader campaign to pressure the Soviet Union.

The speech lays out options from immediate Korean armistice to nuclear war or a threat of war, urging the Soviet response and global fund for poverty. The State Department and allied embassies circulate the text while Tass reportedly picks up the speech for Moscow.
