SEVEN KEYS TO "COEXISTENCE"

If the Kremlin honestly wants to live & let live, in a world where men may disagree without going to war, said the Secretary of State at Berkeley, Calif., let it take these seven steps to peace:

1. Sign peace treaties with the defeated enemies of World War II, thus give Germany, Japan and Austria a chance to set up free governments, "untouched by tyranny." "Nor can we accept a settlement which would make [them] satellites of the Soviet Union. The experience in Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria has been [a] . . . shocking betrayal of the solemn pledges by the wartime allies."

2. Let the peoples of the Eastern European satellites vote freely for "truly independent national regimes . . . We cannot believe that such a situation would be really incompatible with the security of the Soviet Union . . . Nothing would so alter the international climate as the holding of elections in the satellite states in which the true will of the people could be expressed."

3. Drop the policy of "walkout and boycott" of the United Nations, and show some respect for the will of the majority. "Let the Soviet Union put forward . . . genuine proposals conducive to the work of peace . . . They will then doubtless have a majority with them [and] we will be pleased to be a member of it ourselves."

4. Work realistically toward limitation of armaments in general, and outlawing of atomic weapons in particular, by accepting the principle of control and inspection by international authority. "We believe that an authority could be established which would not be controlled or subject to control by either ourselves or the Soviet Union."

5. Call off the Soviet-controlled Communist agents who attempt "throughout the world ... to overthrow, by subversive means, established governments . . ."

6. Treat accredited diplomats with decency and respect. "We now find our representatives treated as criminals [and] see official propaganda machines reiterating that they are sinister people and that contact with them is pregnant with danger . . ."

7. Stop doping the Russian people with stories that they are surrounded by a pack of hungry, capitalistic wolves, and stop propagandizing the world with such "morbid fancies" as the notion that the U.S. is "craftily and systematically plotting another world war."
