Dulles Sees No Change In Red Military Power
Secretary of State Dulles warned that Russia's plan to cut 1,200,000 armed forces would not lessen Soviet military power. He noted the U S has shed over nine million troops since World War II and said Washington welcomes the move only as a gesture toward nonviolence in international affairs. He argued the United States must avoid reduced strength while Russia pursues industry and weapons programs. He cited questions in Congress about the move and said the Kremlin can cut troops while expanding other sectors. The article adds the proposed cuts exclude 640,000 demobilized last year and aim to take effect by May 1.
