Our Youth Betrayed
By Disease of Power

BY far our Nations greatest
resource is our youth. In 20
bitter campaigns, I have wit
messed its magniflcence in the
most trying experience Of all
that Of the battlefield. It has
never failed our faith. never
failed an invincible courage, and
a patriotism which subordinated
life itself to duty. Yet, as 1t now
approaches the responsibility Of
civic leadership, it Is con-
fronted with a situation made
almost desperate by the loss of
such opportunity and resource
as was our own heritage from
the past. This is the greatest
tragedy Of all-that a national
administration could have so
yielded to the disease of power
as to betray the youth of
America.
Despite stresses and strains,
the fine basic character of the
American people remains unim-
paired. It offers hope that under
the inspiration Of a strong,
moral leadership the people
all the people-will hurl back
insidious efforts to SOW the seedt
of suspicion, diStrust and hatree.
calculated not only to stir UP
racial or religious strife between
the several segments of our so.
ciety, but to destroy the unity
and common understanding
which has been the cornerstone
to our growth as a nation. The
very survival Of our liberties
and, indeed, our civilization is
dependent upon our citizenry of
all races, creeds and colors
standing firmly and invincibly
together with a singleness of
purpose, a mutuality Of faith
and a common prayer-God
bless America.
It is this spiritual unity which
offers assurance that the COM
ing crusade to rechart the ma
tion's course toward peace and
security and prosperity will find
and aroused countryside ready
and eager to march. That cru
sade rests upon the humani-
tartan aspirations Of mankind,
its constitutional rights, and
the moral necessity for human
happiness. It demands q purifi-
cation Of the nations con-
science and a identification of
its will and faith. Therein lies
the Republican party's chal-
lenge to leadership.

indecision Advances
Peril Of Globni Strife

But rarely has the present
administration made a major
move calculated to strengthen
the fabric of world peace. To the
contrary. it has done much to
advance the danger of global
strife by its indecisive conduct
OF the campaign in Korea with
its shameful implication that
we dare not strike back at those
who strike at us, by its bellicose
attitude toward all who oppose
it in international diplomacy,
and by its pattern of collective
security agreements which,
without as yet having mounted
either the will or the physical
power to successfully meet ag-
greSsion, have divided the world
into armed camps and rendered
us dependent, not alone upon
the wisdom Of our own foreign
policy to keep us out Of war, but
upon the foreign policies and
diplomatic moves of other
nations as well.
We must fully understand
that, once we commit ourselves
to the defense Of others, the
issue Of war or peace is no
longer in our exclusive hands,
for we become but another pawn
In the game Of international
power politics. dangerous
game-in which the present adj
ministration has demonstrated
no peculiar adeptness. 1t has
talked and pledged peace while
moving toward war. Indeed,
none can deny what history so
clearly records-that the Dem
ocratic Party has well earned
the doubtful distinction of be-
ing the war party of modern
American politics. The dead of
World War I, or World War II
and of the Korean war render
mute testimony.
We must remain faithful to
the commitments we have made
to others. so long as they re-
main faithful to theirs made to
us. but failure of the principle
OF collective security In Korea.
where we have found ourselves
holding responsibility without
corresponding authority, plainly
warns that too much must not
be expected from collective Sc
curity elsewhere.
Indeed, in Western Europe as
!. In Korea, experience has shown
q reluctance by many of the
allies to assume a fair and
rightful share Of the military
burden. even though In the
case of Western Europe the
basic purpose would be the de-
tense of its own soil. This
hesitancy does not spring from
any insuf6ciency of manpower,
nor the exhaustion Of other
needed resource. but rather
from a seeming confident as
Surance that this Nations blood
and treasure will be committed

accomplish the military objec-
tive.

Sound Leadership
Can Restore Integrity

But our failures In domestic
policy cana be- overcome, for
government takes its tone, its
character, even its general eff
ficiency from its leadership.
Sound leadership can restore
integrity to the public service;
can economize in the public ad-
ministration; can eliminate dis
loyal elements from public au-
'thority; can purge our educa-
tional system of Subversive and
immoral influence; can restore
to youth its rightful heritage;
can strengthen the fabric of
our free economy; can raise the
dollar to its true value; can
reduce the tax burden on indi-
vidual and industry; can regain
the course of constitutional di-
rection; can recapture personal
liberties now impaired; can
correct social inequities: can
strengthen the position of both
worker and owner in private in
dustry, even while protecting
the public interest: can fortify
the initiative, energy and enter
prise Of the farmer so as to in
sure the adequacy of the pro-
duction Of food in lean years
and its distribution in those Of
plenty, without being crippled
by the unwarranted 1nterfer-
ence and domination Of govern
ment; and can rearm the
nation without undue burden
upon the people. The correction
of domestic evils and lapSes
would not be too difficult pro.
vided the will to do so firmly
exists.
Foreign policy has been as
tragically in error as has do
mestic policy. We practically
invited Soviet dominance over
the free peoples of Eastern
Europe through strategic dis
positions of Soviet force at the
close of the European war: we
deliberately withdrew our armies
from thousands of square miles
of hard-worn territory. permit
ting the advance of Soviet
forces to the west to plant the
red flag of communism on the
ramparts of Berlin, Vienna and
Prague. capitals Of Western
civilization; we recklessly yielded
effective control over areas Of
vast uranium deposits without
which the Soviet might never
have developed the threat Of
atomic power; we foolishly per-
mitted the encirclement Of Ber-
lin by Soviet forces, rendering
almost inevitable the tragically
high cost we have had to pay
to secure open lines of supply
and communication between our
zones Of occupation there and
in West Germany; we authored,
sponsored or approved policies
under which the German indus
trial plant was subjected to
major postwar dismantling and
destruction; we turned over to
the Soviet for slave labor hun
dreds of thousands of German
prisoners Of war in violation
of every humanitarian concept
and tradition: we failed to pro-
test the murder by the Soviet
of the flower of the Polish ma
tion; and, even after victory
had been achieved, we con-
tinued to supply the Soviet with
quantities of war materiel, de-
spite the clear and inescapable
warnings of the Soviet threat
to future peace.

anese home islands. We con-
demned our faithful wartime
ally. the Chinese people, to the
subjugation of Communist tyr

these moves. we proceeded with
precipitate haste to divest our
selves Of our own military
strength. Despite the threat to
our security then clearly appar-
ent, our Executive Haunted and
ignored the Judgment and viii
Of the Congress which appro-
priated funds for the expansion
Of our air arm which he arbi-
trarily refused to expend for
such purpose.
Small wonder, indeed, that
from the combination Of these
tragic decisions and events,
there occurred a reversal OF the
balance Of world power such as
history has never before re-
corded.
Then. suddenly, with our mill
tary strength standing at pos
sibly the lowest relatively in
history-our divisions in Japan
reduced from three to two regi-
ments. our regiments from three
to two battalions, our battalionS
from three to two companies
with our protection withdrawn
from South Korea as q mill
tarily indefensible peninsula.
we there and then plunged our
forces into war to defend it.
Few would take exception to the
impulse, however idealistic, to
support the preservation of
freedom where we had done so
much to implant the principles
and spirit of freedom, but it is
fatal to enter any war without
the will to win it. I criticize not
the morality Of the decision, but
its responsibility and reck-
leSsness.
We defeated the North Ko-
rean armies; but, when the
Communist armies of China
struck our leaders lacked the
courage to fight to a military
decision. even though victory
was then readily within our
graSp-a victory which would
not only have discharged our
commitment to the Korean peo-
pie, but which in the long run
might well have saved conti-
mental Asia from Red domina-
tion. And. after discarding VIC
tory as the military objective
and thereby condemning our
forces to a stalemated struggle
OF attrition and the Korean ma
ton and people to progressive
obliteration. we again yielded
to Communist intrigue and en-
tered into protracted armistice
negotiations even though every
lesson OF experience had clearly
shown such negotiations to be
but the means whereby such an
enemy gains time to reinforce
his military capabilities.
While I have not been con-
suited with reference to Korea
since my retirement from active
assignment Is months ago, I
can unhesitatingly say that a
leadership which by weakness
and indecision has brought
about such a military dilemma
lacks the soundness Of vision.
the moral courage and the res
oiute will to resolve it. Yet.
resolved it must, for we cannot
long carry so intolerable a bur-
den. We must have a leader
ship capable of decision, as in
decision in war is but the prel-
ude to disaster. No military
problem is unsolvable. Korea
stands today as the hallowed
graveyard for countless Amer

become as well a graveyard for
American hope, American faith
and American honor.

Mr.. Chairman, ladies and

Possibly never before has q
soldier been called to a rostrum
such as this to participate in
the deliberations of a great
political party. approach the
task in a spirit Of humility born
Of full understanding Of my own
marked limitations, but fortified
by so solemn an obligation.
In this unusual assignment,
I feel a deep consciousness Of
the nature and gravity of the
crusade upon which we now
embark-a crusade to which all
! sound and patriotic Americans,
irrespective of party. may well
dedicate their hearts and minds
and fullest effort. Only thus
can our beloved country restore
its spiritual and temporal
strength and regain once again
. the universal respect.
I speak with a sense of pride
that all Of my long life I have
been a member Of the Republic
can Party. as was before me my
father, an ardent supporter Of
Abraham Lincoln. I have an
abiding faith that this party, II
1t remains true to its great ira
ditionS, can provide the country
with a leadership which. as in
the days Of Lincoln, will bring
us back to peace and tranquility.
Perhaps it Is unnecessary here
TO indict the present admins
tration for all Of its tragic
blunders. For that indictment
has already found full express
sion in the resentments which
have poured from the hearts Of
the American people from north
to south, east to west, with no

1T is important that we review
our classic position, and rededi-
cate ourselves to the principles
laid down in Basic during that
momentous meeting when 1876
delegates from Zionist groups all
over the world met to lay down
their program" DR.. Marks said.
Personally" the forceful speak,
er continued, 81 consider the
Basic program the second most
remarkable document in the
world. The first, in my estima-
ton, is the constitution of the
United States. I rea d it every
year, and think it is time that
we re-read the program for Zion
lists laid down in, Basic in 1897.
Let me remind my listeners that
the four points decided upon at
that time is still the program fol-
lowed by the Z.O.A."
DR.. Marks then recited the four
points which are: l.. the promo
tion of the agricultural and in
dustrial chaluziut to what is now
the state of Israel: 2. the estab-
lishment of legally secure home
for the Jewish people: 8. the
strengthening of the Jewish feel
ing or consciousness; 4. the or
ganization of Jews in the Zionist
declarations to help support this
program.
It was pointed out that Israel
still is not politically secure
State inaSmuch as there has been
no peace with its neighbors on all
sides to set its borders. Chaluziut
is still needed by the pioneering
country. The Z.O.A. is working in
every conceivable direction (pri-
mary in the field of Hebrew edu-
cation) to make strong the Jewish
conscience, and Jews are still
needed within the ranks of the
Z.O.A. to help further this pro-
gram.

Japanese Fish Factories Invade Alaska Waters

An invasion of Alaska fishing waters by huge Japanese fish fac tories reminiscent of fifteen years ago was reported authoritatively in Anchorage Saturday by Repub- lican candidate for delegate Bob Reeve.
 He said he had information that three different Japanese fleets caught more than two million sal mon. Reeve said during the per iod between May 10 and July 3 three Japanese fleets consisting of mother ships and small seiners fished in an area TIT degrees East Longitude, which is between Atka and Attu Islands in the Aleutians. Later, the fleet moved out into the North Pacific and fished there until Aug. 6.
 Reeve pointed out that Alaska fishermen in that area had only a 20-day season and recorded one of the poorest catches in history.
