He said that that wa not merely a government jol but the job of world religion and every moral force that couli be brought to bear. Earlier in the day, a new ac of faith on the part of the west eni world in the ultimate so briety and humanity of its So viet Communist adversaries was urged by a noted authority on Russia. George F. Kennan, former U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union and to Yugoslavia, ad dressed the same act-of-faith plea to the Communist bloc.

There lies no hope at all, today, in imputing the worst mo lives to the Communists, he said, and he urged a basic re vision in western assumptions ol Soviet military intentions. Pres ent assumptions implied a tota nhumanity in Soviet leaders 'not plausible even in nature," he added. Kennan, now a professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton, N.J., addresed an audience of nearly 2,000 in- from 14 countries in a privately sponsored convocation examining the requirements or peace. Inspired By Encyclical The meeting, inspired by the 1963 "Peace on Earth" encyclical of Pope John XXIII, was called by the Center for the Study of Democratic Institu- a non-governmental United States organization. Kennan his paper late Thursday.

The four-day conference ends Kennan said the European jolicies of the western coali- ion have had "sterile and unsatisfactory" results. He called 'or changes, the first of which would be re-examining of the irimary reliance on nuclear weapons: He saw no reason why his reliance should be thought permanently essential to the de- ense of the United States or of Western Europe. "I think we could usefully re- xamine our acceptance of the irinciple of 'first use 1 in the mployment of any and all weapons of mass destruction, nd thus place ourselves in a position where we could pro- eed more effectively towards lie eventual elimination of hese weapons, and above all heir delivery systems, from na- ional arsenals. Sees Change Necenary "Without such a change I an aee no possibility of halting lie present trend towards the roliferation of control of such weapons where all hope of pre- enting their eventual use would have to be abandoned. Another change: "If, it ppears, there is to be no mili- ary disengagement in Germany then one mast learn to ccept with better grace at ast the provisional existence a separate East German po- tical entity." He said this idn't have to include rccogni- on of it, but promoting closer ontacts with the hope of ere- ting an atmosphere "in which Jic Berlin wall would become edundant even in the eyes of ts creators." Finally, he said he would like "plead for a basic revision assumptions concerning So let intentions, both hypotheti- al and actual." He added: "Western policy is apparently ascd on an assessment of these ntcntions which has not hanged appreciably from the ays of the Berlin blockade and he Korean war, and which, ven then, probably embraced erious elements of misinter- rctation.

"The assumptioni commonly made with respect to Sovie military Intentions (assump tions reflected in the very won 'deterrence') are ones that can be reconciled neither with Com munist doctrine (which does no envisage the bringing of social ism to peoples exclusively 01 primarily on the bayonets foreign armies), nor with tin moral commitments the Sovie leaders have assumed to their own people, nor with the presen state of relations between Mos cow and the Communist coun tries of eastern Europe." Kennan concluded with "a plea for something resembling new act of faith in the ultimate humanity and sobriety of the people on the other side." "History reveals," he said 'that the penalties for over cynicism in the estimation 01 the motives of others can be no smaller, on occasions, than the penalties for naivety. In the case at hand, I suspect they may be even greater. "For in the predication only the worst motives on the adversary's part there lies, today, no hope at all: only a continued exacerbation of mutua tensions and the indefinite proliferation of nuclear weaponry. "Sole Hope" "Our sole hope lies in the possibility that the adversary, too, has learned something from the sterility of past conflict; that rie, too, sees if only through the dim lens of ideological prejudice, suspicion and accumulated resentment the identity of fate that binds us all; that some reliance can be placed, in the adjustment of mutual dif' ferences, on his readiness to ab stain, voluntarily and in self-interest, from the wildest ane most senseless acts of physical destruction. "If this possibility fails us we have little to fall back on.

"Let us make it our purpose to nurture it, to give a chance to bear fruit, to assure that it is not destroyed by 'ear, by suspicion or by the re action of others to what we ourselves do. "The act of faith that this requires is something we musl earn to see not only as the assumption of new risks to ourselves but as perhaps the only means whereby wholly intolerable risks could be avoided.
