DescriptionArticle by General Carl Spaatz in Feb. 21, 1955 issue of Newsweek in which Stalin is quoted as having said, "Our one big advantage is your fear of starting a war" provokes Messersmith to make comments of his own on the influence of fear in attitude toward war; draws parallel between Nazi regime and Soviet regime; their objectives the same - world domination; if England and France hadn't been afraid to start a war they could have stopped the Nazi threat long before the Nazis were strong enough to involve whole world in conflict; in speech before Air Force School at Maxwell Field in Montgomery, Alabama, suggested it better to fight preventive war while U.S. still has superiority in air and nuclear power than to wait for Russia to attain superiority and face possible annihilation.en_US
