The whole strategy is that of identifying ourselves with the world's people, military strength in being, moral encirclement, encouragement to the enslaved nations, and penetrating the curtain with messages of cooperation with the Russian people for their and our good. No one of those procedures must be sidestepped or neglected. If we pursue them with diligence, it then becomes possible and important to measure our progress on this broad front from time to time. The best means for doing this would seem to be the holding of recurrent "meetings at the summit." They should be held at least once a year to test the effect of our offense and defense. It would seem wise to add to the governments who are represented there by their heads of state. Would not clearer understandings and better cooperation be reached if Germany, India, Canada, and Australia were invited to join the panel? If we keep up the moral pressure and remain true to the moral law, it may well be that future conferences would reveal progress beyond anything that we now deem possible. For this we need a more powerful stimulus than terror and taxes, useful though they may be. The great stimulus will be our earnest concern with the world into which our children and grandchildren are entering. For them we will daily pray that we may attain a world in which freedom, justice, and peace prevail. Having so prayed, we will rise to our feet and seek by all means to bring our prayer to its fulfillment. EASTER MESSAGE BY SENATOR Mr. FLANDERS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed at this point in the RECORD an Easter message which I delivered last Easter to the Russian people. There being no objection, the message was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows: Because of the differences in our church calendars, we in America held our Easter on April 1 this year. You are holding yours now. For you and for us this celebration of the resurrection of Christ is a period of thanksgiving, of hope, and of joy. The dark winter is over. The trees put out their leaves. Plants spring anew from both the earth of Russia and America with their promise of future flower and fruit. This is the time for us to talk together as brothers in the endeavor to end the long winter of suspicion, of hostility, which has resulted in crushing burdens on all peoples in their support of preparations for war. First, let us explain in a few words our reasons for arming. Following World War II, which we all fought against Hitler, 10 million American soldiers returned to their families and freely engaged in gainful work on their farms and in factories and stores. In recent years also free nations turned their colonial lands over to the 500 million human beings who live in those areas. On the other hand, following World War II, your Government conquered and absorbed the Baltic States, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, East Ger- It was necessary for us to build up a The first thing we need to do is to remove fear. You need have no fear of us. Our people have no interests which conflict with those of the people of Russia. We do not need more land. What land we have raises an abundance of grain and fiber, and of the flesh of beasts. We have great forests and rich deposits of ore. Our seas teem with fish. Everything we need we have, or can obtain by freely trading for it from our own abundance. What we do want is peace and freedom. That we want peace with friendly people must have been apparent to your delegation of farming experts, as well as other groups, who visited the United States last year to see how our people till their soll and breed their livestock. In short, self-interest forbids that we should seek conquests, whether political or economic. I am talking with you today, hoping for your understanding that the same self-interest of your government leaders will dissolve tensions and lead to the abandonment of armies and armament as the main support of the foreign policy of your nation. I am speaking to the rulers of Russia as well as to you, the people. Is it not reasonable to believe that the leaders of the Soviet Government who will most strongly establish themselves in the future will be the men personal well-being of the Russian people? who make the greatest contribution to the Can there be a more stable basis for government than a successful program for providing more and better food, better clothing and housing, and better educational opportunities for the people? Dependence on military force works against this well-being. The enormous military programs result in less and poorer food and clothing, inadequate housing, and lowered opportunities. Armies, supported in readiness for attack from without, are in the meantime opposing the happiness of the people within. Disarmament should be the great objective of the people everywhere. It may be argued that for the Soviet Government armed forces are essential to hold in subjection the satellites I have mentioned. But if there is to be no attack from without, the ring of satellites is unnecessary. Nor are those satellites economically profitable to Russia as virtual colonies. No people, formerly free, will be productive in subJection. Slave labor is uneconomical. A free people, benefiting from their own enterprise, is infinitely more profitable as a neighbor than is the most cowed and subjugated horde of conscripts. In the theory and practice of our system of personal freedom and individual self-reliance, a continuously expanding commerce leads to growing benefits to those who buy and to those who sell, Again, in a word-the same word-your selfinterest decrees the freeing of the people of the satellites of the Soviet Union. Bountiful blessings for the peoples of the earth and for their rulers depend on the establishment of disarmament-complete, uni June 29 versal, and controlled-and on the acceptance of the kind and degree of governmental cooperation required to administer it. The negotiations to this end now underway will be long and dimcult. They must be pursued with faith and diligence. Above all, as a practical matter, these negotiations must be continued on the basis of long-range selfinterest. Otherwise they will fail. Therefore, let this Easter of the year 1956 be the day on which the Russian and American people and the Russian and American Governments determine that they will join together to contribute to the well-being of the peoples of our two lands. Nothing must stand in the way of this. It requires mutual discussions in a new spirit. If it requires, as it will, a greater openness of communication, of travel, of mutual personal contacts, let us move towards this also. Not merely for Russia and for America but for the world, the hope and the joy of Easter must be made manifest and effective through these ways to peace.
