○  英语演讲：atoms for peace  ○

t of our minds to the single purpose of emerging from that conference with tangible results towards peace, the only true way of lessening international tension. we never have, we never will, propose or suggest that the soviet union surrender what is rightly theirs. we will never say that the people of the russia are an enemy with whom we have no desire ever to deal or mingle in friendly and fruitful relationship.

on the contrary, we hope that this coming conference may initiate a relationship with the soviet union which will eventually bring about a free intermingling of the peoples of the east and of the west -- the one sure, human way of developing the understanding required for confident and peaceful relations.

instead of the discontent which is now settling upon eastern germany, occupied austria, and the countries of eastern europe, we seek a harmonious family of free european nations, with none a threat to the other, and least of all a threat to the peoples of the russia. beyond the turmoil and strife and misery of asia, we seek peaceful opportunity for these peoples to develop their natural resources and to elevate their lives.

these are not idle words or shallow visions. behind them lies a story of nations lately come to independence, not as a result of war, but through free grant or peaceful negotiation. there is a record already written of assistance gladly given by nations of the west to needy peoples and to those suffering the temporary effects of famine, drought, and natural disaster. these are deeds of peace. they speak more loudly than promises or protestations of peaceful intent.
