FOSTER DULLES
OPTIMISTIC
Less Likelihood Of Miscalculation
Paris, Nov. 28-Mr John Foster Dulles, the American diplomat today said that the "danger of war getting started on miscalculation" was greatly reduced.
He also declared that the United Nations was "within reach" of final settlement on Palestine and it may still achieve a solution of the tense East-West dispute over Berlin.
опсе
The American diplomat said the UN Assembly had now made it clear to all men in power that "any nation that launched an attack would find itself at opposed by most of the world." This Assembly meet ing, he said, had "really increased the chances of pence."
In a radio interview reviewing the activities of the current Assembly session. Mr Dolles sald the "risk of miscalculation" was the "mast ser- lout threat to world peace." The willingness of most of the world to oppose nytsression, he sudd, left "no further excuse for hone by Kaisers Dr Hitlers that mations can be conquered one by one."
"Once this logleal basis for sound calculation is understood as I be Reve it is rather Kenerally-tlic danger of war getting started in iniscalculation is greatly reduced:"
Mr.Dulles said it was because the current General Assembly had demonstrated "solidarity against ag- gression" that, the work of United Nations diplomats had "really in censed the chances of peace."

Mr Dulles asserted that the wide United States and gap between British polley on the Holy Land had been "steadily narrowed" and since it was this divergency which had blocked earlier solution, a settle- ment now seemed within reach.
