00:00:01.640 - 00:00:19.760

ladies and gentlemen, despite all the speeches and the talk that you read about coming out of Washington these days, the still remaining most important question is how are we getting along with the Soviet Union? And I'm very pleased and privileged. You have a man discussed that particular issue with us today.

00:00:19.760 - 00:00:36.090

The man who is best qualified to do so. My very good friend, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Fulbright Tender for Bryant is a real tough starter. What do you think will be the results of the summit conference, which is scheduled on May the 16th?

00:00:36.740 - 00:00:52.300

George, you know I'm no profit. I don't know what the results will be, but I think the conference is well worth. While one result certainly will be that we'll discover how serious the Russians are in there in their evolved desire to reach some agreement on nuclear testing.

00:00:52.910 - 00:01:12.440

And possibly we will understand better what they're. Their determination is with regard to Berlin. In other words, we're bound to find out a good deal about their attitude. Now, the concrete results in so far as concluding a treaty that's very much in the unknown. I don't know I hope that we can agree on something.

00:01:12.520 - 00:01:33.850

Do you think that this conference that we're now engaged in at Geneva discussing disarmament, that anything will come out of that or I scattered from your answer? Their first question that you think that will probably have to wait until Berlin? Well, I think that the groundwork is being laid in the conference at two conferences going on one on disarmament General and one on nuclear testing.

00:01:34.140 - 00:01:58.940

The one most likely to result in something is the nuclear testing. I think the groundwork is being laid. The major decision. If it's made, I'm sure Mr Khrushchev would want to reserve for his own determination at the summit meeting. Now, do you believe that the people of the United States have become too soft and complacent in there, respect or fear of the Soviet Union?

00:01:58.940 - 00:02:37.770

By virtue of the visits which Khrushchev has made here and many nice friendly things which have recently been written about him? I don't I don't believe I'd like to emphasize the significance of those visits too much, but I do think that the American people have long underestimated the seriousness of the threat of Soviet Russia's power both as an ideological ideological matter that is the Communistic side and even more important, perhaps just as a great imperial power, apparently determined and clearly determined to extend its influence anywhere.

00:02:37.780 - 00:03:00.960

Can I think we have long underestimated that long before these visits, the visits may have contributed something. Then would you say that from the position where you sit that you have seen nothing, actually, which would bring you to the conclusion that the Soviet Union and Khrushchev have ever changed their original designs, which apparently, is to finally run the world?

00:03:01.000 - 00:03:29.650

Well, I I think the that original. That objective is the same. I think perhaps the methods that they intend to use to achieve it may change with the development of weapons and various techniques. I think they're clearly beginning to give much greater emphasis to economic the use of the economic power of penetration and control, first economic and then political control rather than the use of, uh, weapons directly because that's two things.

00:03:30.040 - 00:03:56.590

But you see no evidence that they have in any way change their ultimate goals will say eventual control of everything I do not know. I think they still their activities in the economic field are vastly stepped up now. Well, what they were for five years ago, they're going into Africa into Cuba in the Latin America, offering assistance, offering goods, offering trades they usually trade.

00:03:56.590 - 00:04:12.930

That is, as in Cuba, for example. They're not giving it to them. They're making deals. But they at least convince the people there to the advantage where they are. They are not. Senator. One last question. Do you think that what do you think the relations will be in the future between red China and the Soviet Union?

00:04:13.040 - 00:04:33.500

Well, I think for the foreseeable future they will continue to cooperate. They have a mutual interest in doing so. The conflict that might arise would would arise only after China itself has acquired great independent strength. All right, well, thank you very much, Senator Fulbright. And thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for looking here.

00:04:33.500 - 00:04:36.150

And I hope you look again at the same time next week.
