recent chain of events--all part of one grand sequence pregnant
with terrible significance. They have plunged our nations into the
greatest DANGER--the most imminent danger--of their history!
1) Kremlin Boss Khrushchev, just prior to the Summit
Conference, told the world they had shot down a U.S. U-2 high-
flying reconnaissance plane, "spying" over Russia. He shouted a
threat of NUCLEAR WAR unless the U.S. gave assurances of stopping
U-2 flights.
The SIGNIFICANCE of this? Few realize it! The U.S.
State Department then announced such flights had been going on over
Russia for a long time. "From these flights," finally confided
Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates. Jr. to the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, "we get information on airfields, aircraft,
missile testing and training, special weapons storage, submarine
production, atomic production and aircraft deployment."
The REAL MEANING? The United States, Britain and allies
are now without any means for detecting a Russian build-up for a
surprise attack. Russia has an expanding stockpile of inter-
continental ballistics missiles. Until now the U.S. knew their
bases. This meant that, if Russia started a war--even surprise
H-bombing of our cities, U.S. forces could H-bomb their bases and
instantly DESTROY Russia's ability to fight.
And Now? The Soviet will build new bases, camouflage
them. The U.S. will not know where they are--will be unable to
STRIKE BACK.
MEANING? Simply this! In nine months or a year,
Khrushchev can say to America and Britain: "Turn over all Berlin to
me at once, or we will destroy you, and you cannot hit back!" He
can threaten, and make us either surrender, or else enter all-out
nuclear war in which allied forces would be striking BLINDLY at
Russia.
SERIOUS? This puts the U.S.A. and Britain in the most
serious peril of their national history--UNLESS U-2 flights are
immediately resumed!
Now continue the CHAIN of events--all master-minded by
Khrushchev:
2) Knowing the above FACTS, Khrushchev scuttled the
Summit Conference at Paris, insulting President Eisenhower as no
American President had ever been insulted before. At any time
previous to 1912 such INSOLENCE to an American President would have
meant WAR!
3) Next, Khrushchev instantly hurled more personal abuse
on President Eisenhower, who had just recently been his gracious
host in Washington--withdrawing his invitation for Mr. Eisenhower's
return visit--forbidding the President to come to Russia!
Now all this BEGAN a chain of events rapidly fulfilling
vital prophecies. News reporters and analysts cannot, of course,
