EISENHOWER INTELLIGENCE
`NOTHING GUIDES Russian policy so much as a desire for friendship with the United States.'—General Eisenhower, November, 1945.
'IN THE PAST [i.e., before 1945] relations of America and Russia there was no cause to regard the future with pessimism.
. . Both were free from the stigma of colonial empire-build- ing by force.'—General Eisenhower in 'Crusade in Europe,' 1948.
'THE LANDS and the millions made captive to the Kremlin are fresh evidence that dire peril stalks every free nation today. Tyranny must feed on new conquests, else it will wither away. . . . Dare we rest while these millions of our kinsmen remain in slavery? We are threatened by a great tyranny—a tyranny that is brutal in its primitiveness. It is a tyranny that is attempt- ing to make all human kind its chattel.'—General Eisenhower, August 26,1952.
'THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT'S goal was power superiority at all costs. Security was to be sought by denying it to others.— President Eisenhower at press conference, April 16, 1953.
'THE AMERICAN PEOPLE want to be friends with the Soviet people. There are no natural differences between our people or our nations.'—President Eisenhower at Geneva, July 18, 1955.
AFTER TALKING TO every member of the Russian delegation, he was profoundly convinced that they all desired peace as sin- cerely as he did. — President , Eisenhower at Geneva (The Times, July 21, 1955).
