Attlee Says U.S. Should Lead World Government Drive
University Daily Kansan
Earl Clement Attlee said in a press conference Friday in Flint Hall that the United States should take the lead in promoting a world government.
Earl Attlee fielded questions from a battery of journalism students on topics ranging from rock-n-roll to Joe Stalin.
He said if he were back in a high position in government he would actively work for a system of world government.
"I think that world government should be something the United States should be taking the lead in since they've had experience with federation.
"I don't believe in perpetual strife and conflict. I believe in coexistence. You need only a minimum of government to prevent war. I think the main thing is to stop war, abolish national armaments, and have disturbances referred to a tribunal," he said.
Earl Attlee said he would abolish the veto power in a world government.
"It is essential that you get rid of
the idea of individual sovereignty," he said.
Asked about nationalism, such as that of the countries of the Middle East, he replied:
"You can't do away with it. If given its head it will work itself out."
Earl Attiele said the United States should recognize Red China and give her a seat on the United Nations Security Council.
"It is better to look facts in the face. It's inevitable that they should enter the UN. China has potential wealth, an industrious population, and given a good government, it might not take too long before she becomes a world power." he said.
"There is a certain amount of lack-of-face for the Chinese in being excluded that we should get rid of." he added.
Asked what to do with the Nationalist Chinese, Earl Attlee replied:
"They're your pets. I guess you'll have to look after them."
Earl Attlee said Prime Minister Macmillan has probably achieved
Dirksen Says America's Berlin Forces Ample
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Senate GOP leader Everett M. Dirksen, backed up by defense chiefs, said today that America's armed forces are "adequate as to every circumstance" to meet the Berlin crisis.
The Illinois Republican took sharp issue with statements by Senate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson that the nation's defenses must be "sharpened" in light of the Berlin situation.
Dirksen told newsmen the United States has been preparing for the Berlin crisis for a long time. He said "the President is not only alert to everything in that field but so is the defense establishment."
necessary to prepare for possible conflict over Berlin. But he said there is a real possibility for a diplomatic settlement.
Similar views were reflected in statements made yesterday by Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy and Army Secretary Wilbur M. Brucker.
McEllroy said the United States and its allies are doing everything
Brucker said that troops are "combat ready" and military plans fully made to meet any "conceivable situation" arising from the Berlin crisis
Johnson threw his full support behind President Eisenhower's firm stand on Berlin. But the Texan said the Soviet "countdown" had started and "we must move now to insure for ourselves the greatest possible strength for the day when the show-down comes."
Other Democrats stressed the need for more diplomatic negotiations with Russia over Berlin. Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex) said he thought there could be "a compromise on both sides" before Russia actually took a step toward ousting the allies from Berlin.
He said the United States should not remove its troops from Berlin
"I think he has probably done some useful work. I couldn't tell yet," he said.
some good results in his trip to Russia.
"You'll find it a good rule to remember when dealing with the Russians to make sure, before you do anything, that they do the same thing," he added.
Earl Attlee was asked to compare Stalin and Khruschev.
He was asked to rate former President Truman.
"I thought Khrushchev a little more flexible. That is quite a bit of an advance over Stalin."
"We generally leave these things to subsequent generations. I think he would rank very high in your lists of presidents," he said.

Earl Attlee said he remembered Secretary of State Dulles from the 1945 San Francisco Conference.
"He was a backroom boy in San Francisco in 45," he said.
He predicted the Labor Party would win the next general election in England.
