...major address from Moscow: "A third World War would mean the destruction of world civilization." To the Russians this was news. For years, they have been told by their leaders, in the style set by Joseph Stalin and Georgy Malenkov himself, that a new war would destroy the capitalist system, not the Communist world.

More effective would be a pledge that, while each country abides by its own investment laws, and so long as just compensation is made for any future nationalization of industry, the United States will in no way interfere with the economic dealings between the countries and the investors...
