Charles Phelps Taft, November 18, 1951
“America must sell to the world the realities inherent in its way of life that make that way of life possible. We are doubted by people in Europe and Asia who are neither wicked nor ignorant. It is time for us to stop telling them about our bazookas, atomic bombs, gadgets, automobiles, and TV sets and start exporting the ideas and attitudes which gave us our tremendous capacity for creative work.
“Disunity is the hope and aim of every Russian maneuver, and America needs to disseminate the truth to prevent that disunity from occurring.”
