any other can any of the other man whose name was Man? I wish I get that printed on one in 1. 43 or four Smathers. How do you do, Ladies and Jack? Well, the week that just passed was one of the most crucial and critical for the United States since the end of World War Two.

00:00:30.140 - 00:00:45.360

The summit meeting in Paris was blasted to little bits by Nikita Khrushchev before it even got underway. And now I think we can safely say that the Cold War is on in earnest again. We all ask, Why did it happen? And what does it mean for the United States?

00:00:46.740 - 00:01:05.860

Well, I don't think that too many people were greatly surprised by the fact that the meeting collapsed. I don't believe that anyone really expected that much could be accomplished at Paris. World tensions might have been lessened for the time being, but after all, the Soviets goal of world domination certainly would not have ever changed.

00:01:06.940 - 00:01:37.060

However, Mr Khrushchev deliberately sabotaged the conference and crudely and repeatedly insulted President Eisenhower. While so doing, no one really knows why Khrushchev acted as he did. But it's possible to make some surmises. Obviously, great pressures are apparently building up against Khrushchev inside the Kremlin hierarchy. The fact that he had to admit that the United States plane had penetrated nearly 1300 miles inside Russia?

00:01:37.640 - 00:02:02.660

Well, that was a rather humiliating experience for a man who had boasted to the world of the Soviet Union's Impenetrable air defenses. Now the whole world knows that the United States Strategic Air Command bombers carrying nuclear weapons could in fact penetrate deep into Soviet Russia and destroy that country if the Communists started a war against the United States or any other free world country.

00:02:03.540 - 00:02:35.760

Furthermore, the so called Stalin is creek in the Kremlin, have reportedly severely criticized, crucial for lifting the iron couldn't even a crack because they want to return to the days of the super secret Soviet Russia. It's practically no friendly contact with the Western world, and the military leaders in Russia are reported to be angry with Khrushchev for cutting back the armed forces and channeling some of the Soviet Union's huge military budget into consumer goods.

00:02:37.230 - 00:02:57.760

In any case, these hollers and battles of crucial that Paris we shouted, I'm sure as much for his enemies at home. As for the leaders of the Western world, they were the opening signal for a new Soviet campaign. They indicate a new turn in the Soviet strategy.

00:02:58.840 - 00:03:22.020

The United States, as leader of the free world, will once again be probed and tested and tried by the Communist at every opportunity. And now we must tighten your belt and once again stick out our chins and meet these challenges. Cooley Finally, without panic, the greatest crisis will probably come in Berlin and probably sometime this summer.

00:03:22.030 - 00:03:41.660

Maybe this far. And one of the great dangers lies in the fact that Khrushchev may somehow underestimate the determination of the people of the United States to retain our legal and proper and honorable position, not only in Berlin but around the world. One thing is absolutely certain.

00:03:42.640 - 00:04:05.560

The United States, I think, is now once again completely united in its opposition stand against Soviet threats in Soviet blaster. We must now do everything we can to let the Soviet leaders know that we have this determination, that we are, in fact strong, that we are prepared to meet any test that they may call upon us to meet.

00:04:06.140 - 00:04:21.260

If we do that. And if they know that we mean business, I think that's our best way to avoid ever having a war. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for looking and listening. And I hope you're looking again at the same time next week.
