Letter from Adlai E. Stevenson, Chicago, to Clement Davies, 3 January 1958,
Their mistakes and failures are more apparent now that the NATO Conference is over Need for close Western co-operation to effect economic safety, but little happened to achieve this at Paris. 'I agree with you that it seems a pity that Great Britain is not leading, but actually protesting the irresistible movement towards greater unity in Europe'. The situation in the USA is discouraging, but there is no need to despair; 'Our response to emergency in the past has been noble, and I believe it will be again. The trouble, of course, is the total failure of leadership'.

Postcard from R. B. Vieilleville, Paris, to Clement Davies, [September 1958],
Thanks for Clement Davies's kind message.
Is very touched by Clement Davies's letter. Clement Davies is clearly able to give vent to his feelings by letter. Is not worried by the situation in Europe or the East at the moment, but is terribly concerned at the position in Africa and Asia unless some assistance be given towards solving their fundamental problem of poverty. French.

Letter from Clement Davies to His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, 20 January 1960,
Is disappointed at the Archbishop's response. People's attention needs to be focused on the crucial issue of disarmament, and at the right moment. Man has engaged in warfare from time immemorial, but only in the twentieth century have non-aggressive means been sought to end disputes. Previously, the idea of National Sovereignty had clouded the ideas of nations. The Summit Conference can be no more than a beginning, but time can be saved if 'the consciences of the ordinary People [are] awakened to the possibility of Peace in our time'. It is not generally realized how far Governments have travelled along the road of peace. Draft.
