Maybe we will wake up to the futility of old-fashioned diplomacy, and the hopelessness of big armies, and put our faith in friendship. In other words, everything else having failed, we might finally come around to practicing the Sermon on the Mount, . It has worked with our good neighbors in Latin America. Maybe it would work in Europe and Asia—where lurks the greatest danger % % DEPARTMENT OF PEACE Why not, for instance, really begin working at the job of get- ting along with other natjons and people?

So the problem is partly getting the Russians to like us and trust| us, and to understand that we're not such bad people. ‘The other day, I travelled from Wash- ington to St. Louis. In the car next to me were about 20 Russian officers and their wives, and they were having a terrible time.
