and bring up my children in a peace
ful world. As a citizen, I demand
the right which the constitution
guarantees me, the right to happi
ness which is to women—security:
the security of living, loving and
growing in a world which does not
deprive them of their own. As I
read the newspapers, listen to the
radio, and watch television, I am
appalled at the propaganda which
seems to be encouraging our people
to a kind of blind patriotism, en
couraging the attitudes of hate
which a nation must have to support
a war. We say we are a Christian
nation and yet over our radios, we
sound like hate mongers. Every
where, the prevailing attitude is that
war is inevitable. I do not believe
this! Europe is in a mood for
compromise, willing to do anything
for peace because she is familiar
with war’s devastation. It is the
United States and Russia, doggedly
trying to save face by never bending
an inch.
Certainly they have made mis
takes and are afraid to back up.
Have we not? And are we less pious?
Do we still deny the existence
of a government in communist
China and yet call ourselves in
telligent, democratic, Christian?
Senator Hoey, we must be more
plastic in our foreign policy; we
must practice the principles we
teach and give compromise and
agreement a little space in our
thinking.

Dear Miss Swanzey:
f have your letter of December
1, 1953, which I have read with
interest.
1 feel sure that if the newspapers,
radio commentators and others
would cease the talk about war for
three months, we would be able to
get well along the way toward ne
gotiating peace. All of this contin
uous talk magnifying the threats of
war, keeps the public mind in a
state of anxiety and tends to ag
gravate any negotiations that we
are endeavoring to make for lasting
peace, especially with Russia.
I think we have very greatly
overdone the matter of agitating
the public mind over the Russian
situation. I have been impressed
by Americans who have been
abroad and have spent several
months there, saying that after
being home for 10 days, they heard
more talk of war than all the time
they were abroad.
I am tremendously concerned
