Only in Europe have our lines remained firm -- and there only on the surface. The strains of neutralism are running strong, notably in England, and even in Germany.

What have we to show by way of counter successes? We have had opportunities -- clear invitations to plant our influence on the other side of the Iron Curtain. There was the Hungarian Revolution which we praised and mourned, but did nothing about. There was the Polish Revolution which we misunderstood and then helped guide along a course favorable to Soviet interests. There was the revolution in Tibet which we pretended did not exist. Only in one instance have we moved purposively and effectively to dislodge existing Communist power: in Guatemala. And contrary to what has been said recently, we did not wait for ``outside pressures'' and ``world opinion'' to bring down that Communist government; we moved decisively to effect an anti Communist coup d ' etat. We served our national interests, and by so doing we saved the Guatemalan people the ultimate in human misery.
