There is wide agreement in the press that U.S. President Dwight David Eisenhower's speech of April 21, 1956 to the newspaper editors, coming as it did in the wake of important foreign-policy speeches by Adlai Stevenson and Senator Barkley Heralds if not the end then the beginning of the end of the cold-war phase of American policy. In different ways, and with different phrases, both the President and Stevenson were expressing their willingness to abandon the postures, attitudes and policies of the cold war. The President, of course, felt compelled to defend the policies of the last three years just as Stevenson felt compelled to attack them.
