Vandenberg Urges Firm U.S. Policy
MCU & CU to camera in office in front of microphone.
22:57:18 “In the final analysis success will depend upon the relationships between the United States & Soviet Russia. I do not need to remind you that the question arising not only at London, but also out of almost every news dispatch these days, is what is Russia up to now. I believe we can live together in reasonable harmony if the United States speaks as plainly upon all occasions as Russia does; if the United States just as vigorously sustains its own purposes and its own ideals as Russia does. If we abandon the miserable fiction, often encouraged by our own fellow travellers, that we somehow jeopardize peace if our candor is as firm as Russia’s always is; and if we assume a moral leadership which we have too frequently allowed to lapse.”
