This Day That Age
As Mr. John Foster Dulles was to take over from Mr. Dean Acheson as U.S. Secretary of State, this paper commented on the world outlook, "Mr. Dulles has shown statesmanship in his observation on the conciliatory statement of M. Stalin that there is no reason why the USSR and the U.S. should not live in peace, and that he would consider meeting Mr. Eisenhower to ease international tension, Mr. Dulles has said that if M. Stalin has concrete proposals for the new U.S. Administration, they would be seriously and sympathetically considered. This kind of reaction has been rather rare in the United States as, since war broke out in Korea, the U.S. has received all Soviet overtures with great coldness. It must also be pointed out that while M. Stalin speaks occasionally of peaceful co-existence with the capitalist world, his representatives at the U.N. and elsewhere rarely display any spirit of compromise or conciliation. A similar dissonance exists between the voices of Communist leaders at the various peace conferences held in Eastern Europe and China and the reports in the Communist press which talk endlessly of the `aggressive aims of American imperialism,'... But the relative stability of the West's position in Europe and Asia today may have convinced Russia that America and Britain would not be wholly unprepared if there is a new conflict. At the same time, the Soviet Union has a great deal of reconstruction work to do. Therefore, whatever M. Stalin's ambitions may be, and however optimistic his views about the collapse of in the West, he may calculate that cold war is preferable to hot."
