"We may not know what Is behind

Assessment

Of The Situation

Cleveland, Mar. 8.-Mr John Foster Dulles, United States United Nations.delegatè, suid today that Russia does not plan to start war against the West "under conditions now prevailing," but warned that if the United States should send major military aid to Scan- dinavia it might lead to war.

If major military aid were furnished under the projected North Atlantic Security Pact it could be "assumed" that Russia would go to war if it believed its home territory "is imminently and seriously menaced," Mr Dulles said.

Keynoting his address, which was prepared for delivery to the Federal Council of Churches Conference here, Mr Duller anid war with Russia "is not inevitable," and cautioned that an anti-Communist world war would only in- crease the area under Communist control.
