| | NATO Speech: 1957 |
 | | I should like to remind you that Krushchev said, shortly after the famous Twentieth Congress of the Communist Party, at which Stalin was removed from his pedestal, that in matters of foreign policy Stalin had made no mistake, and in that respect he, Krushchev and his friends, were all Stalinists. |
 | | Meanwhile, of course the Russians are maintaining vast armies in being, and are equipping them with modern weapons, I therefore consider it the duty of the Western Powers to strengthen their defences both in the political, economic and military fields. |
 | | If Krushchev is sincere in saying this and I believe he is, it is not logical to conclude that the Russians want war. |
