in the light of the partial text ban agreement.

2. Growing sharp and deep division between the Soviet Union and Red
China should be further emphasized and point ought to be made that this

presents us with an historic opportunity and that if we can launch a peace
offensive in the magnitude that we propose, this ultimately would compel
Red China to go along in view of the fact that living standards of the
emerging nations would rise rapidly and that this would exert great
pressure in China internally.

3.
We should further expand and emphasize the need for full employment
as it bears upon race relations.in America -- specific emphasis on the
high level of unemployment among Negro youth.

Mr.

B.

Thomas

Congdon,

Associate

Editor

New York

19,

Dear Mr.

Congdon:

1963

Jr.

The Saturday Evening Post
666 Fifth Avenue
New

York

It occurred to Mr. Reuther that in the light o:
recent developments on the national and international scene

the article "Freedom's Margin of Survival~-A Strategy for
Peace" might require further re-writing.

The partial test ban agreement and the growing
sharp and deep division between the Soviet Union and Red China
are matters which should be dealt with briefly but with emphasis.
It would be well, moreover, to include a sentence
or two concerning the need to create a full employment economy
as it bears upon race relations in America with special emphasis

on the high level of unemployment among Negro

youth

Pursuant to our earlier discussion, we are awaiting

the "boiled down" version of the article which we feel can be
modified by the addition of a few sentences to make the points
noted above.

I would appreciate your comments.
Sincerely,

IBimp
