Freedom

In Bulgaria (see above) and elsewhere, there might be tranquillity of a sort, even behind iron bars. But did much of the world want to be calm on such terms? In the free world, many men, trying to get the issues straight in their minds, were attempting definitions. None put the strength of the free world's case better than did U.S. Statesman & Churchman John Foster Dulles this week, in a speech at Northwestern University. Said Dulles: [The quest for peace] "requires that the moral issue be clarified. That issue is not the issue of economic communism against capitalism, or state socialism against free enterprise. It is not an issue of relative national power. Those are not moral issues. The moral issue is the issue of the free state as against the police state. . . . The overwhelming majority of mankind does not want to be subjected. . . ."
