I am delighted to be here in
Camden tonight, in the closing
days of this great campaign-this
crusade to keep America free.
This is one of the great indus
trial regions of America, a symbol
of Americas past and a guide
post to Americas future.
I want to talk to you tonight
about faith-faith in America. I
want to talk to you about the faith
that will bind us all together in
the days to come; the faith that
binds you people of New Jersey
with the people of California and
Oregon and Washington; the
faith that will enable us to meet
the difficult days that lie ahead.
We have had enough of Gym
nicism, people of America.
We are sick of the kind Of
politics that refuses to recognize
our craving for clean, hard, open
debate; the kind of politics that
seeks to win a third term by hid
ing behind the bushes of two
terms.
Election to Clear up Idea
It is His White House.
Yes, we are sick of the kind OF
one-man government that calls
an ambassador of the United
States my Ambassador"
1t used to be my friends"
Now it is my Ambassador"
Pretty soon it may be my gen.
erals" Then it will be my
people" But there is one thing
that will be perfectly clear after
November 5. 1t isn't his White
House.
It's the peoples White House.
And, If Mr.. Kennedy is the
Ambassador to the third-term
candidate, who Is our Ambassa-
dor to Great Britain? That's
what I want to know.
We, the people, want an AM
bassador in Great Britain-and
who is on the job.
And, incidentally, If we had
one, he would not be over here
on order, to help out with a
dying political campaign. He
would be at his post in this
critical hour, doing everything
he possibly could to keep us ad-
vised of conditions in Great
Britain.
We are sick of the type of
government that treats our
Constitution like a scrap of
paper.
Our Supreme Court is regarded
as an obstruction Our unwritten
law against granting a third
term to any President is not
even mentioned by the third
term candidate He doesn't even
attempt to justify his violation
Of it.
Crusade Will Not End
On Election Day.
How can we have faith in this
kind of government. How can
we have faith in America if
our elected representatives have
such low opinion of our ira
ditions and our basic laws.
Believe me, the task ahead Of
us is hard. Never have Ameri-
cans been faced with so much to
do so quickly, never before has
1t been so necessary for us to
be worthy of ourselves and of
our great Republic. This is a
crusade that we are on. 1t Is
crusade that will not end on
election day.
1t will begin-it will really
begin-on election day.
People of America, we are
faced with a great issue. 1t is
the ultimate issue of this cam
paign.
There has been, as you know,
a terrible reaction sweeping
across the peoples of the earth.
This Is a reaction, a counter
revolution. against what we
know as the democratic way of
life.
The essential principle of that
counter revolution is the domi-
nation, or even the ownership,
of their enterprises and of their
farms. 1t is the domination of
their households, of their edu-
cation, of their learning, of their
arts, of their sciences and Of
their worship of Almighty God.
That system-that reactionary
system-has exercised powerful
influence in our modern world.
It is hammering at the gates of
the little island of England. 1t
is reaching across the Atlantic
to trouble the peace of this
hemisphere. 1t has reached
around the other side of the
world to make an alliance with
Japan.
Now, what is the meaning Of
this reaction? For centuries men
struggled against the state. For
centuries they struggled against
the domination of kings and
tyrants.
Won Certain Rights That State
Could Not Take Away.
Two hundred years ago the
men of the Western World be-
gan to break free. They began
to overturn the thrones of Eu-
rope, and to assert the PROPOSE
ton that all men are created
free and equal. Through their
struggles they came to possess
certain rights, rights which no
one. not even the State, could
take away.
This was the achievement of
our forefathers in the American
Revolution of 1776. And, there
after, one after another, the
peoples of the Western world
heard the call to freedom, and
became free.
Why have men suddenly given
up those rights and that free
dom? Why have free men
throughout the world surren-
dered?
We are living in the Machine
Ace--the Industrial Age. In the
