On Dealing with Russia

Is there any real chance of getting along with the Russians? Last week, after many long months across U.N. tables from them, Eleanor Roosevelt said yes and told how:

"It is a slow business, but we can. It will be because they recognize our strength --material, physical, military. They believe firmly that there is something inherently weak in our form of government and our way of life. They are always surprised when we don't just collapse. They think we will have a serious depression, and they will reap the result of our folly. If we can't get together and prevent that, some of what they say will perhaps be true. If we can prove we believe in our democracy as strongly as they do in their government, if we are willing to sacrifice as much as they are, they will respect every show of strength.

"I like the Russians personally, but I know very well they must not get away with anything. They will attack at all vulnerable points. . . ."
