Adlai Ewing Stevenson (1900-1965)
MS ADLAI STEVENSON perusing books in library. MS Ambassador Adlai Stevenson speaking to U.N. Security Council (non-sync sound): "Stop the secret subversion of other people's independence. Stop the clandestine & illegal transit of national frontiers. Stop the export of revolution & the doctrine of violence. Stop the violations of political agreements reached at Geneva for the future of Southeast Asia. The people of Laos want to be left alone. The people of Vietnam want to be left alone. The people of Cambodia want to be left alone. When their neighbors decide to leave them alone, as they must, there will be no fighting in SE Asia & no need for American advisors to leave their homes to help these people resist aggression."
