Pledges Strong Defense
Of Social Security

we pleoge ourselves to DEFEND
ing the Social Security pro-
grams. That, my friends, is
something that this Fair Deal
administration has utterly failed
to do. Ask your wives. The very
basket of groceries you' could
have bought at the corner store
for $40 in 1910 you now have to
pay $24.50. Let that go on.
and what will these programs be
worth? We pledge to you every
possible program that will assure
YOU of your dollar.
Now I bring you another
question obviously of great in
terest to you people. We know
that America has not achieved
under its great Constitution that
full perfection of operation that
it should with respect to equal
opportunity for all citizens.
There is discrimination. This
crusade is pledged to use every
single item of leadership and
influence it has to eliminate it.
It intends to enforce the full
Constitution, not part of it.
Specifically, something has
been said about my past efforts
to eliminate segregation in the
services. I want before I leave
that subject to say this. I
mentioned the $500 Negro
troops that volunteered for
front-line service in the most
critical part of our campaign
in Europe. Most of those served
in the Army of a great and
exacting soldier, a man who
knew a brave man when he
saw him. That was George
Patton. His personal report to
me was these men serving in
those squads and platoons in
these divisions upheld their
part. They performed real
fighting service.
It was on that evidence and
on that kind of knowledge that
I worked for this business OF
reducing and working toward
elimination of segregation. That
has gone on. 1t is well under
way, and I pledge you that it
is going to be done promptly
and without any further alibis
or excuses.
Next, my friends, in the Ma
tons Capital we have had the
poorest possible example given
to those of other lands of what
this country is. and what it
means to each of us. So far as
there is power placed in me as
an individual or officially, I
shall never cease to work with
all the power I can to get rid
of that kind of thing in the
District of Columbia. Let me
extend that. Wherever the Fed
eral Government has RESPONSE
bility; wherever it collects taxes
from you to spend money.
whether it be in a contract for
recreational facilities or any,
thing else that it does for a
citizen of the United States,
there will be no discrimination
as long as I can help it in pri-
vate or public life based upon
any such thing as color or creed
or religion-never. Wherever
funds are used, where Federal
authority extends. there will be
fairness,

Text of Eisenhower's Harlem Speech

Communism is looking for one
great victory. That victory is
the economic collapse of our
country. They want to see us
go broke. Why then would a
nation such as ours refuse to
mobilize all its resources to de-
feat a depression as we would
mobilize all our resources to de-
feat an invasion? One is just
as serious as the other.
So I pledge you this: If the
finest brains, the finest hearts.
that we can mobilize in Wash
ington can foresee the signs of
any recession, and depression,
that would put honest, hard
working men and women out of
work, the full power of private
industry. of municipal govern
iuent. Of State governments, of
the Federal government, will be
mobilized to see that that does
not happen. I cannot pledge
you more than that.
Then the next thing they fear
is this: They say, Let this
crusade come to power and we
fear that all of your Social
Security programs will be elimi-
mated" Now we are pledged as
a body down to include the last
voter, and up to include the top
leaders of this crusade, to this:
To improve and expand Social
Security. My friends, want to
show you how we look upon
Social Security.
These Social Security pro-
grams are not an end in them
selves. They are not all that
America wants. But they put
a floor of security under you so
you are not afraid to go and
take risks. to take a new job
if you want to, to go out and
earn everything you can, to say
what you can. and to give a
better life to your children.
Then We do this on top of that:
We say we are going to make
this dollar of yours a good dollar
so that what you have in your
insurance policies. what you
have in bonds, what you may
have in a savings account, and
above all what you are entitled
to in these security programs.
will not be zero when you try to
use it; but it will be worth
something.

our farmers produce and the
products of our great industrial
plants. When they can pro-
duce those surpluses we need
to ship abroad in order to get
the things we need. We need
men and women working at

Why then would we want a
depression? I assure you these
political opponents of mine don't
need to fear that any more,
