Now, what this means to the world is not yet apparent. It won't be apparent for some time. It does not change our basic policy nor the basic methods we employ in pursuit of those policies, a just and lasting peace and to remain strong while we are doing it, remain strong ourselves, and to help our friends grow strong and confident so that this burden of fear and eventually other and more material-type burdens will be lifted from the backs of men" / VS groups of journalists with a man and his stenograph / SOT Associated Press reporter Marvin Arrowsmith: "Do you think this shakeup in the Soviet Government means a calculated tougher policy towards the United States?" / SOT Eisenhower, "Well, I think I would not at the moment, Mr. Arrowsmith, speculate on exactly what it is going to mean. It doesn't necessarily mean that, because they would say anything that would suit their purposes at the moment of a great significant change of this kind in their government. I would say that we must be watchful and alert and pursue our policies as we have been pursuing them"
