Lodge countered by saying that communism had been halted in Berlin and the United Nations. In places where communism has succeeded --. 4 it is because it has had along-range view in international conflict. If America would do what weare capableof doing, communism-would away. Mr.wither Strausz-Hupe 1,J emphasized thatcommunism isessentially a "conflict doctrine;" that if Mr. Khrushchev embraced thecause ofpeace hewould puthimself outof a job. Mr. Burnham stated that the communists really mean it when they say they are going to conquer the world. He added that our anticommunism has been too"soft. " Soft anticommunism means surrender 1-4?

What is your assessment oi communism in America?" " | i - Mr. Kennedy answered that there are two areas of concern to Americans: ! the tact that the Communist Party exists in the United States and is dominated, controlled and financed directly by the Soviet Union; ! there is and continues to be acts oi espionage in the United States by the Soviets and their satellites. He added that the FE ' Communist Party had little attraction for the American people and that he didn't think . that as a political power it is anything to be reckoned with. He added that the Party can and has had a political impact on occasions, but didn'tconsider it as a major political _a party and that as long as the FBI and other Government agencies were vigilant they would '-.1.I not be. The great struggle of today is not with the Communist Party here in the United 12;.-1 3U States but what we are going to do with the uncommitted areas of the world.
