OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
Thursday, June 23, 1960
Mr. BRIDGES. Mr. President, the ac-
tion of the Communist-inspired mobs
in Japan raises once more the question
of whether the American people are fully
aware of the real threat of world coln-
munism. Are we losing all over the world
because of the actions of a minority

Appendix
For years Marx was In ill health. He did
not have a regular job. He depended upon
pittances, especially from Engels. He lived
from pawn shop to pawn shop.
It was in this sordid atmosphere that the
philosophy of communism was born which
today controls two out of five peoples of the
world.
The Communist leaders, from Marx. to
Khrushchev, have proclaimed that capitalism
and communism are incompatible, that
sooner or later one or the other must be
destroyed. Within the last year Khrushchev
has boasted that he and his fellow travelers
will bury us.
Communism, as we know it today, made
little progress until it was recognized by the
Government of the United States in 1933.
Presidents Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, and
Hoover knew that one of the greatest assets

There being no objection, the address
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
THE NATURE OF OUR ENEMY
The principle of communism is not new.
Some primitive societies practiced it.
Marxism-Leninism communism is a, little
over a century old. "Scientific socialism," as
it Is called, stems from the writings of Karl
Marx who, at the age of 24, became the editor
of a leftwing newspaper In Cologne, Ger-
many and launched a tirade against the gov-
ernment. The paper was suppressed. Marx
then went to France for 7 years. He then
went to England where he remained until
his dea th-at the age of 65.
One of Marx' few friends was Friedrich
Engels whom he met In 1842 when he was
editor of the leftwing newspaper. They be-
came intellectual comrades. Engels sup-
ported Marx financially.
Marx and Engels were atheists and, of
course, revolutionists, Marx is known as the
"originator" of communism and today his
memory is highly respected by Communists
everywhere. Engels, is appropriately called
the collaborator of arx. Engels had an en-
cyclopedic memory. His extensive knowl-
edge of industrial techniques supplied Marx
with important information. Engels also
wrote, not only under his own name, but in
some instances,. under Marx' name. To-
gether they conceived and formulated the
Communist doctrine.
Engels lived for years with a woman out
of wedlock. Upon her death, he lived with
her sister. Years later he married,her on
If you are of a similar mind," said President
Roosevelt, "I should be glad to receive any
representatives you may designate to explore
with me personally all questions outstanding
between our countries."
Seven days later the president of the All
Union Central Executive Committee of the
U.S.S.R. replied stating that he agreed with
President Roosevelt and appointed. M. M.
Litvinov, People's Commissar for Foreign
Affairs, to represent him in the negotiations.
Following several conferences at which the
Russians were wined and dined at the White
House and Hyde Park and shown every cour-
tesy, President Roosevelt wrote Litvinov on
November 16, 1933 in part as follows: "I am
happy to Inform you that as a result of our
conversations the Government of the United
States has decided to establish normal dip-
lomatic relations with the Government of
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and
to exchange ambassadors.
Litvinov replied, to the Roosevelt letter the
same day saying: "I share the hope that the
relations now established between our peo-
ple may forever remain normal and friendly,
and that our nations henceforth may coop-
erate for their mutual benefit and for the
preservation of the peace of the world."
You will observe from the foregoing that
we, not the Communists, initiated formal
diplomatic relations with them.
The Soviets have not kept a single major
agreement entered into with us since the es-
tablishment of diplomatic relations.
At the time the President gave official rec-
ognition to Soviet Russia, the Communist
dictatorship, under Joseph Stalin, had not.
consolidated its hold over Russia. The free-
dom-loving Ukrainians were resisting col-
lectivism and Khrushchev, Stalin's lieuten-
ant, was conducting a systematic, man-
made famine in which 7 million Ukrainians
died. The Soviet Union was virtually bank-
rupt. There was worldwide distrust of the,
TAT
Bolsheviks. The United States recognition
gave them respectability, and monetary
credit. We gave or sold -them much of our
industrial know-how, and that which we did
not give or sell them,, their agents stole,
In 1945 and 1946, Great Britain and the
United States became so anxious to main-
tain their wartime friendship with Stalin
that they permitted Soviet Russia, still a
second-rate primitive nation, to place its
agents in the governments of all eastern
European countries. In a short time the
Communists had control of Poland, Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary,
Rumania, Bulgaria, Albania, and Yugo-
slavia and were exterminating millions of
people who might have resisted communism.
At the Yalta Conference in 1945, the
United States permitted Russia to take over
Chinese Manchuria. Then the Moscow-
trained Communists were supplied with
Russian arms. The United States cut off aid
to our friend, Chiang Kai-shek, head of Na-
tionalist China, and communism quickly es-
tablished its control of much of Asia. This
was one of the most remarkable actions in
the history of the world.
In 1957 and 1958, C ba fe&under the
CORllll m4stx'?oontrol-after ie United States
had withdrawn'grined support to the Cuban
Government and otherwise aided Castro and
his Communist cohorts. The State Depart-
ment gave official recognition to Castro's
military dictatorship before his bearded
bully boys had reached Havana in force.-
Scarcely any well informed person in
America has any doubt now that Cuba is
being built into a Communist bridgehead,
just 90 miles from Florida. The disturbing
factor about the Cuban development is that
some important segments of our molders of
public opinion helped to turn Cuba over to
Castro and his Moscow-controlled agents.
Just as our Government helped to turn China
over to the Communists 10 years earlier.
We do not appear to learn anything from
our experience with the Communists.
Respected American publications, in 1957
and 1958, built up Castro as a romantic
rebel-a Robin Hood, leading his fight for
social justice in Cuba. While their aid to
world communism was unwitting, it none-
theless damaged our security. Their widely
published complimentary article on Castro
went out of their way to dispel any idea
that Castro's movement had a Communist
complexion-although Castro's record to the
contrary was readily available.
Benea of the events having to do
with the' - lane lost in Russia on May I.
are root errors of what appears to be the
desire of some persons of appeasing Russia
over the last 20-odd years. Since we ac-
cepted the untenable military position in
Berlin, we have sometimes listened to those
having the policy of appeasement, conces-
sion, acquiescent, insults, and humiliations
that Britain followed so disastrously toward
Hitler.
Pressure for this policy has come largely
from the liberals and the political leftists.
Khrushchev, like Stalin, has successfully
broken every promise and treaty the moment
it suited his end to do so. He feigned troop
withdrawal from Hungary to give him time
to bring in more tanks to machinegun pa-
triots in the streets. Yet we have been
urged to negotiate with this monster as if
he wgre.s. man of good faith, good will, high

character, peace loving, and as if his word
or his signature were worth something,
In view of the actual threat we face, the
fact that we are tense again is not a loss, but
a gain.
We have. I hope, been saved from a worth-
less agreement a. the summit conference,
which might have caused us to live In a
fool's paradise while Russia built up for a
devastating surpri se attack.
We should never have agreed to the sum-
mit conference. No matter how we may try
to disguise the facts, we agreed to that
conference under the Khrushchev threat to
kick us out of Berlin, We should have told
him that we are there in accordance with
our occupational rights and there was noth-
ing to discuss.
Let us hope that we are at least through
with summit conference dreams. Our ap-
peasement has encouraged Khrushchev to
recklessness.
Let us at last launch a real propaganda
counteroffensive c-f our own. Let us expose
the nonsensical claims of Communist eco-
nomic growth instead of swallowing them
whole. Let us have the courage to defend
capitalism and explain the superiority of
economic freedom.
Instead of trying to call off the cold war,
which we can't, let us recognize at last that
It Is being relentlessly fought against us by
an enemy determined on world conquest.
Let us realize that our only hope of peace
and security is to accept the ideological chai-
lenge and seek not a truce but a victory.
Then and only then will we be worthy of our
