...already become fathers and mothers, enjoy the first peaceful Christmas they have known. Mankind's unquenchable hope for peace burns brighter than for many years." That hope was blemished by physical and mental tyranny in much of the world. Said the President: "Even at this happy season we dare not forget crimes against justice, denial of mercy, violation of human dignity. To forget is to condone and to provoke new outrage...
...dissensions of 1854, "our differences today are hot and superficial, like sunburn, not like a fever. The burning issue of 1854 was slavery. Its counterpart of 1954 is the Communist conspiracy.

And Idaho's Republican Senator Herman Welker, a foursquare McCarthyite, had remarked, hours before the last...
China's Ambassador Chang Wentien, present as an invited "observer," declared that China stood "shoulder to shoulder" with the Soviet Union. "That is why it is safe to state that if American aggressive circles dare to unleash a new war, they will suffer a fate worse than that suffered by Hitler. So, picking up a stone, they will knock off their own feet, and in the end will taste the bitter fruit of their own mistake," concluded Chang in a Chinese fricassee of metaphors.
