| Description: | Fuzzy, not sharp, dull in contrast and imagery, clinch marks In his first public statement as Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles says the unites states will never start a war but it will never be conquered or intimidated. John Foster Dulles "The first thing I want to make clear is, that I consider that my job is to work for the people of the United States. I'm part of your government. You hired me and you pay me. I think that your are entitled to have me to do my best that I can for you. That is going to be the spirit in which we approach our foreign publics and that will be the spirit of the entire State Department and all of our ambassadors. You need not be afraid that any of us are working against you and for others. So far as your government is concerned, you can be sure of two things. First, it will never start a war, but the Second thing you can be sure of is, that it will never be intimidated, subverted or conquered. Our nation must stand as a solid rock in a storm tossed world. To all those who are suffering under Communist slavery, to the timid and the intimidated, let us say this. You can count upon us. Together with the other free people of the world, we can I'm confident, peacefully achieve honorable peace". | |
