The other day I attended a small dinner where a coal
mine operator from West Virginia awarded prizes to the
high school children of his city for the best essays on how
to erect a permanent peace machinery. R. M. Davis, the
man who gave the prizes, has even written a constitution
for the United Nations—and a pretty good one at that, with
one vote for every nation—and he has circulated thousands
of copies thr chout the country.

Never having visited the United States—and we hope

of this war shall be achieved and that their sons will not
have to go out and fight another war. This is not merely a

Cheers followed his " address.
They had hardly died away before
circulation of the proposed legis-
lation started. By nightfall more
than 100 members penned their
names as endorsement on the res- •
olution creating the fund.
Giles and House sponsors were
happy. Success seemed assured.
Then came the dawn, and mem-
bers flocked to the sponsor of the
resolution and started scratching
off their names signed 12 hours
in the last two weeks, however, this friendly feeling has
received a jolt. I don’t know whether your embassy has re-
ported it, but it is true.
It has received a jolt because of the general impression
that the Yalta promises are not being kept and that the
rights of little nations are being trampled on. To put it
bluntly the American people are beginning to wonder
whether Russia is really sincere about keeping the peace
after the war, unless that peace is one which she dominates.

Perhaps your embassy has reported that in the last
two years, much of the old anti-Soviet suspicion has
vanished and that the great bulk of the American people
are anxious to cooperate with Russia for future peace as
they have for winning the war.

j toward another catastrophe. They were bitter and dis-
I illusioned. They felt we had let them down.
And they were right. The American people were
! suspicious of Europe then. We had our isolationists. And
we pulled out of the peace machinery of the world.
But we won’t do it again. The R. M. Davises and the
school children of the country and the mothers of the sons
who have fought in this war and the sons who are coming
back from the war will never permit another letdown—unless
they figure that the major powers of Europe are letting them
down first.
This time, it is not us but Russia which is suspicious and
has its isolationists. This is only natural and partly our
fault. For the state department and the chanceries of
Europe kept Russia isolated for years. Naturally that kind
of atmosphere breeds isolationists. But this time you can’t
afford to make the same mistake we did before.
Since Yalta we have learned that the Soviet is concerned
over the votes of small nations in the United Nations meet-
ings; is worried that they may gang up on her; and believes
that the 20 Pan-American Republics will all follow the
United States as a bloc.
But I remember the day after we landed marines in
Nicaragua and sent troops to the border of Mexico when no
Latin American nation would have voted with us. And if
they now follow us as a bloc it is only because we have
reversed our previous high-handed policy and treated them
as neighbors. As long as we are fair and honest and don’t
trample on their rights, the chances are they’ll do right by
us. And I for one have found this usually works with most
things, from small nations and people to a team of horses
plowing in the field.
I’ve been to your country, Mr. Stalin, and I like the
people. I was up with the Red Army in Siberia when they
eased out the last remnants of the Japs in 1922. And I have
seen a lot of them in. other places. They are good people
and not hard to get along with.
And if you ever come over here, you will find that our
people are the same. They are very easy to get along with.
They are generous, open-hearted, don’t want much for
what they give—in fact pretty much like your people. But
like yours, they can be hot tempered, and they get awfully
sore when somebody lets them down. Now there is only one
thing the American people want out of this war. They want
no territory, no reparations, no pomp or fol-de-rol. They
want only one thing—a fair deal for all nations, big and
small. and the permanent peace that goes with it.
The alternative is the biggest army the world has ever
seen, the biggest navy, and rockets that will pulverize cities,
5,000 miles away.
That would mean the eventual end of civilization.
I am sure your country will not make the same mistake
we did after the last war. You cannot let us down.
Yours truly, DREW PEARSON.

There were also rumors that

Lyndon B. Johnson should seek a

House members were slightly
surprised when they, saw that Giles’

mand of 100 Bulgar prisoners and a mule transport team
of 100 Albanians. And in the evenings the Bulgar prisoners,
with their Serbian guards and the Albanians (who didn’t
