U.S. BREAK WITH RUSSIA ADVOCATED
(Rec. 8.20) WASHINGTON, April 15. An immediate break in the United States diplomatic relations with Russia was demanded in the House of Representatives by Representative John Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi, who is a member of the Unamerican Activities Committee.
“We cannot halt Communism and its dictatorship all over the world with soup kitchen diplomacy,” said Representative Rankin. "Communism is not a system of Government, but a system of crime. While we have the' atomic bomb and while the United States is the world’s leading nation, we should tell the Soviet that these international crimes must stop! “If the United States takes positive action, it will be only a matter of time until the decent people of Russia rise and overthrow their Government, and replace it with one in which the people of the world can have confidence.”
