| Description: | President Eisenhower addresses the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Delegates of 34 nations' legislatures hear the president urge that international conflicts be settled by conferences, not war. MOHS - Dignitaries from NATO chatting with each other and milling about. MCUS/L - President Eisenhower mounts the rostrum. MLS - All the delegates applauding. CUS - Signs from different nations represented in the League of Nations. President Eisenhower; "Believing as we do, that there is a no future for progress and civilization unless the conference table surplants the battleground as the arbiter of dispute. You can well understand, the satisfaction of my associates and of myself, that this meeting takes place in this capital of the United States of America. I refuse to admit that man can not operate, free men, can not operate as effectively on a constructive basis as they can when their sole purpose is the negative one of saving themselves from destruction". | |
