What is this peace which they desire? During the war against Japan,
most Americans undoubtedly wanted peace. Peace was the thought that
comforted mothers whose sons were in danger on distant battlefields;
peace was the word which sustained wives, lonely and anxious without
their husbands; peace was the goal that motivated servicemen who knew
the boredom, the loneliness, and the danger of war. Had they been asked
to define peace, they would doubtless have described it as the termination
of hostilities in the defeat of the enemy by the allies. Not under any
circumstances would victory by japan have been termed peace. To the
American people, peace meant only one thing -- American victory. The
Communists believe they are at war. They desire "peace" with all their
hearts. But to them, peace is that golden consummation when the
progressive force of Communism totally overwhelms American
imperialism and climaxes in Communist world conquest. By definition,
"peace" is Communist world conquest.
