University library.”
Twenty years later, the same
young editor had become the Mos
cow correspondent of the famous
New York newspaper.
This man, Harrison Salisbury, is
the next speaker for Salem’s 1960-
61 Lecture Series. Mr. Salisbury
has an excellent and interesting
record as a reporter and foreign
correspondent. His experience in
side the Soviet Union and his pene
trating insight into Russian-Chinese
relations make him well qualified
to speak on “The Coming Conflict
between Russia and China” which
will be the topic of his address to
us on Monday, February 27th.
Mr. Salisbury made his first trip
to Russia in 1944. He traveled for
eight months with Eric Johnston,
then head of the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce. Ever since that time,
he has made an intensive study of
the countries behind the Iron Cur
tain. ■
In 1949, he went back to Russia
This time he stayed five years, as
resident correspondent in Moscow
for the New York Times. He has
traveled more extensively in the
Soviet Union and Soviet Asia than
any other American. After this
trip, he wrote a Pulitzer Prize-win
ning series of articles on life in
side Russia.
He has had opportunities to ob
serve and study closely the top
firsthand observation and evidence
on which to base his appraisal of
the present situation in Russia and
the probability or possibility of a
coming conflict between Russia and
Communist China.
In his newest book, To Moscow
—and Beyond, this is one of the
problems which Mr. Salisbury dis
cusses. He states that, “The roots
of Russian-Chinese conflict in the
Far East go deep. The fact that
both countries now fly the Com
munist flag no more resolves their
