Dulles Sees End To Red Despotism
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said free governments will eventually replace communist despotism in Russia and Red China. He predicted evolutionary or possibly revolutionary change, noted greater freedom in the Soviet Union and more revolutionary elements in China, but avoided predicting timing and whether revolutions would occur. He supported Eisenhower’s disarmament stance and outlined a possible mechanism to call off a pact if Red China violates terms. He doubted Red China would pursue atomic or hydrogen weapons, given a signed East-West disarmament agreement. The briefing focused on Red China, with Dulles reaffirming the President’s approved San Francisco speech and leaving open possible future recognition of the Chinese Communists if they stay in power.
