WABIHNGTON. June 1o - (AP) -Gen. Eisenhower told the United States Congress and members of the Supreme Court today that the soldier "passionately believes-the problems of peace can and must be m .

To the soldier's mind. the Gen- eral declared in an address before a Joint session of Congress and the Supreme Court. "the problems of peace can be no more difficult than the one you had to solve more than three years ago, and which. in one battle area. has now been brought to a successful conclusion.

“He passionately believes that with the some determination. the same optimistic resolution and the same mutual consideration. among allies that marshalled Europe forces capable of crushing what had been the greatest war machine of history. the problems of peace can and must be met."

Referring to the Pacific war. Gen. Eisenhower said:

"Speaking for the American man and women l have been so honored to command - in our minds and hearts there is no slightest doubt that our people's spirit of deter- mination, which has buoyed us up and driven us forward in Europe. will continue to fire this nation through the ordeals of battle yet to come. Though we dream of ro- tum to our loved ones. we are rea- dy, as we have always been, to do our duty to our country. no mat- ter what it may be."
