Washington History has dealt
harshly with our hopes after
two Great 'Wars. For' brief pe
riods after - each of them the
American people have engaged
in great expectations for an easy
and enduring peace. In the days
of the 19th Century before
America became a world power,
we relied on others to keep the
peace. We entered World War
I with a deep feeling that "this
was a war to end all wars." In
his lifetime Wilson saw this slo
gan and his dream dashed. In
the years after World War II
Harry Hopkins said of the Yalta
Conference: "We really believ
ed in - our hearts that this was
the dawn of the new day." We
now can see clearly that the day
of enduring peace has not ar
rived. A growing national con
cern led to a meeting by the
President with Khrushchev. It
was -a somber occasion for the
leaders of two nations that were
formerly allies. - It is no secret
that the prestige of the United
States is at a low ebb follow
ing Laos and Cuba. The more
recent breakdown of negotiations
over Laos after the Kennedy
Khrushchev meeting shows the
almost insurmountable difficul
ties of dealing with the Russians.
Communist Menace Difficul
ties in dealing with Russia have
been invariably present since the
Communists took power in 1917.
They were ever present during
our brief alliance with the Sovi
ets during World War II, and

Cuba and the
frustrations we have ' suffered in
dealing with Laos have become
the greatest concern of the
American people. Foreign policy
must be conducted by the Exec
utive Branch of the Government,
but it is becoming more and
more evident that the United
States must conceive an over-all
strategy that will mobilize our
aims, our defenses, and our na
tional purpose in dealing with
the Communist menace. The
struggle we are engaged in has
no easy solution for every ac
tion we take is viewed by all
the world, and Khrushchev has
been highly successful since the
Hungarian Revolt. The late Al-
ben Barkley had an expression
