President Believes Power Best Policy
By Phil Newsom UPI Foreign News Analyst
Just short of a year ago, President Kennedy met in Vienna with Nikita Khrushchev and learned at first hand the nature of his enemy.
It seems probable that out of that meeting was born the determination for what since has become administration policy. This week, in Canberra, Secretary of State Dean Rusk has been explaining that policy to U.S. partners in the Anzus Pact, Australia and New Zealand
THAT MEETING FOLLOWED two others with U.S. allies in the NATO and Cento agreements, altogether involving 20 nations.
It was at Vienna in early June that Khrushchev served an ultimatum on Kennedy—that the allies get out of Berlin and delcare it a "free city" by the first of the year or lose all their rights there in a separate Soviet peace treaty with communist East Germany.
In Washington and in week-end conferences at Hyannis Port, Mass., with State Department and defense officials and with U.S. ambassadors summoned home from abroad, the U.S. reply began to take shape.
It was a steady buildup of U.S. military strength, accompanied by clear warnings to Khrushchev that any move against Berlin could touch off a nuclear war.
IN EUROPE, TWO U.S. ambassadors explained it to this correspondent this way:
"The President is determined that the United States shall not be swayed by Soviet tactics of hot and cold, and that U.S. and allied military strength must be built up steadily to meet any condition."
In the past year there have been tangible results.
An important one was that the end of the year passed without Soviet action.
Militarily, the United States:
- Increased its manpower in Europe.
- Resumed nuclear testing.
- Turned over five nuclear-armed Polaris submarines to NATO
- Built up its European weapons stockpiles and permitted disclosure that it was experimenting with floating arms depots in southeast Asia. These depots permit the United States to fly troops to any emergency area and to have weapons and equipment already awaiting them.
- Disclosed that it has set as a goal the ability to fly two divisions to Europe within a matter of days.
- Relaxed its nuclear security to the extent that it now will permit its NATO allies to know the locations and extent of nuclear stockpiles in their individual countries. It gives the allies reassuring knowledge of U.S. striking power and its consequent deterrent force on the U.S.S.R.
In his report to the nation on his Vienna meeting with Khrushchev, the President enunciated another important point of U.S. policy. He said:
“... THE CHANCES OF a dangerous misjudgment on either side should now be less . . . the men on whose decisions the peace, in part, depends have agreed to remain in contact.”
In short, the President will keep on talking but he believes his policy of strength is paying off.
