Continued from card 1 of 2. “The Soviet government held a vastly different vision of the future. In the world of its design, security was to be found, not in mutual trust & mutual aid but in force: huge armies, subversion, rule of neighbor nations. The goal was power superiority at all cost. Security was to be sought by denying it to all others. The result has been tragic for the world & for the Soviet Union it has also been ironic. The amassing of Soviet power alerted free nations to a new danger of aggression. It compelled them in self-defense to spend unprecedented money & energy for armaments. It forced them to develop weapons of war now capable of inflicting instant & terrible punishment upon any aggressor. It instilled in the free nations, & let none doubt this, the unshakable conviction that as long as there persists a threat to freedom they must, at any cost, remain armed, strong & ready for the risk of war. (applause) It inspired them, & let none doubt this, to attain a unity of purpose & will beyond the power of propaganda or pressure to break, now or ever. There remained, however, one thing essentially unchanged & unaffected by Soviet conduct: this unchanged thing was the readiness of the free wordl to welcome sincerely any genuine evidence of peaceful purpose enabling all peoples again to resume their common quest of just peace. And the free world still holds to that purpose (applause). 07:03:28 “The free nations, most solemnly & repeatedly, have assured the Soviet Union that their firm association has never had any aggressive purpose whatsoever. Soviet leaders, however, have seemed to persuade themselves, or tried to persuade their people, otherwise. And so it has come to pass that the Soviet Union itself has shared & suffered the very fears it has fostered in the rest of the world. This has been the way of life forged by 8 years of fear & force. What can the world, or any nation in it, hope for if no turning is found on this dread road? The worst to be feared & the best to be expected can be simply stated. The worst is atomic war. The best would be this: a life of perpetual fear & tension; a burden of arms draining the wealth & the labor of all peoples; a wasting of strength that defies the American system or the Soviet system or any system to achieve true abundance & happiness for the peoples of this earth. 07:04:46 “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft...
