The nation . fers real hope, if theemphasis is not too much on militarymobilization and the exertion of willpower. Nobody could have hadstronger will power than Mr. Dul-les, but he exhausted himself inholding far-flung lines, extrudedfurther than the rising power of theSoviet Union and China made ten-able. What is urgently required is adeep realization that not only theDemocrats but all of us are on trialfor our lives, for the third and last December 31, 1960 time, and that if wc fail to makepeace and to move rapidly towardworld community now we maynever have another chance.
