Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - March 27, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news fair these Days i vol so a 73 was it. Pleasant Iowa the Tusi a by eni no Mauch 27. 1058 by George l. Sokolsky the fear of age Laird Bertrand Russell prag mat list. Has written an amazing letter to Alfred Kohlberg from which i quote the following it can be secured that Only u. S. And u sir. Have nuclear weapons i favour negotiations Between them for abolition of nuclear weapons by both sides. I do hold however that if All negotiations prove futile and no alternatives remain except communist domination or extinction of the human race tile former alternative is the lesser of two this is tile most Blunt statement of the pessimists i have yet seen. For them the Battle for human Freedom is finished we must succumb to the conqueror or be destroyed this View permits the program of Hungary the torture of Poland the betrayal of China to become acceptable. From this standpoint it can logically be argued that what Hitler did was wrong because Hitler possessed no nuclear weapons but that if Khrushchev does exactly what Hitler did it is right because Khrushchev does possess nuclear weapons. In May also be argued that unless the United states accepts soviet dictatorship there May be a nuclear War therefore the United states should accept russian dictatorship. In fact if lord russells logic be pursued even Halfway great Britain should at this moment invite Gromyko to formulate the British foreign policy.

Son of Ross was awarded a badge marksmanship mrs Cis lie membership first class the situation is not so hopeless or the russians would not be so pressing for a Summit conference. Obviously we do not care whether such a conference takes place or not actually the United states would prefer that it should not take place for some time. The question must be asked Why does soviet Russia need such a conference of what use is it to Khrushchev to have such a conference now ? As one reads the various letters from Bulgarin and the speeches by Khrushchev it becomes obvious that the purpose cannot be to find a settlement for the outstanding problems which face the world that the russian emphasis is really Only on the meeting itself perhaps a i Mikoyan let the cat out of the bag when he said Quot at one time the Western Powers put Forward a proposal concerning the reduction of conventional armed forces. Those who made the proposals knew Well that the soviet Union was particularly ahead in this held. While the Western Powers were ahead in air and sea Power. However we agreed to a serious Cut in land forces and proposed a Cut of 1.5 million soldiers from the soviet and u. S. Armies. However the Western Powers immediately withdrew proposals.

This Long delay while the u s. Has been recapturing some of its lost prestige by orbiting three satellites permits informed speculation that a something sensational Quot will be attempted by the soviets shortly. The sources said it is not unlikely that tile new russian attempt will be in the nature of a rocket that can place a Marker on the Moon or perhaps the recovery of a satellite with an animal or human being aboard. This last possibility was underscored a few hours after the Dulles briefing by Russia s announcement that ii had fired on feb. 21 a ton and a half single stage rocket to an Altitude of 2f4 Miles and recovered it at a predetermined spot on Earth.

Later the americans lost All interest in when did the russians agree to Aerial observation of All the places where nuclear weapons Are produced what they agreed to a narrow Field of observation meant nothing at All. Then Mikoyan said one time the americans insisted that the russians were powerful and Able to massacre them individually. Therefore it was essential to unite to create nato and to bolster the armament race. There were also times when the americans insisted that we were militarily much weaker than they and that much stronger.
