New War?
(12.30 p.m.i NEW YORK. July 4. Unless the United States helps to plan the structure of world peace, humanity “may suffer the Golgotha of a third world war," said General Eisenhower, speaking at the annual carnival of the Confederacy of the United States at Vicksburg, Mississippi. The Chief of Staff added: “Either the nations work together for common good, or one by one they will perish slowly in withering decay or quickly under the impact of total war as is the more likely way in the future.
“Industrial development and atomic science .have left no limits to global conflict either in scope or destructive result.
“Many, nevertheless, disparage world unity as visionary and impractical because national loyalties tend to stifle international action.” General Eisenhower warned the nation that until all nations were ready to “substitute the council table for the battlefield” the United States must be prepared to guard itself well.
But. he added, “this cannot be our final goal.”
