Sec. Dulles Denies
Optimism in
Judging Soviets
WASHINGTON, UP>—Secretary
of State Dulles Tuesday rejected
Democratic criticism that he has
been too optimistic in judging the
danger of new Soviet policies.
But he said the free world must
continue to be fully alert.
Dulles told a news conference
the first round of the cold war
conflicts seems to be over. He said 1
a second round may be beginning
in which Red leaders will be
equally predators thru employing
more guile and less naked force
than heretofore.
In this situation, he said, com
placency would be disastrous. Yet
he added that it would not be fair
to tell the American people their
sacrifices in blood and treasure
during the past 10 years have not
forced improvements in Soviet be
havior.
Dulles said it would be reckless
for the U.S. and its allies around
the world to think about reducing
their military forces at this point.
That may come, he said, but not
until the Soviet Union and Com
munist China are moving more
clearly in new grooves of policy
and pose less of a threat to the
free nations.
