Speech #810262758

In a major policy speech before the National Press Club. Secretary Acheson said the United States was helpless to prevent this dismemberment. He made it clear that the State Departments future plans for checking the spread of Soviet influence through Asia would depend mainly on the righteous wrath and anger of Chinese and other Asiatics over Russian encroachments. No doubt the North Korean Communists were quite prepared to take a chance on that "righteous wrath and anger" of the Chinese and perhaps of other Koreans. which might perhaps develop some 10 years from today. According to the account in the New York Herald Tribune.
