...Eisenhower has been able to stand by Dulles is difficult to understand. At Geneva, the President showed that sincere personal discussions with Soviet leaders are worthwhile, but at Geneva a year earlier, the Secretary of State departed from the Indo-China Conference boasting that he had never once spoken to Chou En-Lai. The President has called for positive reactions to petty Soviet moves, but the Secretary of State has responded to smallness with smallness--his retaliatory closing of 27 percent of U.S. territory to Russian nationals is typical.

It disregards facts which Indo-China should have demonstrated--that Communism in that part of the world must be fought with something in addition to rifles, that fear of European colonialism often blinds Asians to the new colonialism of China.

In the meantime we, whose position is fundamentally decent and honorable, have so mismanaged ourselves of late that...
...time is May 1956. The U.S.S.R. sends simultaneous notes to the U.S., France and Britain proposing the immediate unification of Germany with some degree of militarization. Assignment : prepare position papers for the U.S., France and Germany." Another hypothetical question: What should the U.S. do in case "volunteers" in Indo-China suddenly sweep across the 17th parallel in Viet Nam? Or, swinging around to figure Soviet strategic thinking: What should the U.S.S.R. do in light of Red China's growing power...
