ABILENE. Knns., June So
FOLLOWING is the tert OF the adj
dress By Gen. Eisenhower:
Today. I return to the home
of my boyhood to join with
friends and family in reunion:
to see again familiar faces; to
receive an inspiring welcome.
No man can experience these
things without deep gratitude
and humble Thanksgiving for
the benefits and the kindness
that he has enjoyed. He real
ICES anew what he owes to those
who guided him in his youth
who taught him-who gave to
him a share of their own spirit,
heart and soul. For such things,
he strives through the years to
repay dear ones and friends
yet he cannot entirely erase the
debt. He can only testify to
what he owes.
Here and now I have the
opportunity to speak out. From.
the bottom Of my heart, ! thank
you Of Abilene and Dickinson
County and the State Of Kansas
thank you warmly and hum.
bly, for your teachings. your
help and your encouragement.
With my brothers, I am fur
ther indebted to you because by
your efforts there is now build
ing in this town a memorial in
the name of our parents and
family. dedicated to all Amer
ican servicemen of World War
II. Greater than any monu-
ment of bronze or stone is the
purpose that memorial will
Serve-the advancement of un-
derstandlng in the responsible
tiles and the privileges, the
rights and duties and rewards
OF American citizenship.
The mission challenges all Of
the nobleSt qualities of its spon-
sorS. They seek to infiame our
generation with the spirit Of the
founding fathers. They seek to
lead a crusade for mass COM
prehension of what America is
all about. how it came to be and
whittier it is bound.
The real fire within the build
erS of America was faith-faith
in a provident God whose hand
supported and guided them;
faith in themselves as the chill
dren of God. endowed with pur-
poses beyond the struggle for
survival: faith in their country;
and its principles that pro-
claimed mans right to freedom
and just derived from his divine
origin. Today. the Nation they
built stands as the worlds
mightiest temporal power with
its position still rooted in faith
and in spiritual values.

Hopes for Reduction
OF NATO OutIoy

The measure of success we
have so far achieved justifies
the conclusion that, in current
bills before the Congress, we
have reached peak rates in those
expenditures as they apply to
most of the countries joined
with us in NATO. I believe we
can look forward to decreasing
future costs without sacrificing
the essentials of reasonable
goals.
In this calculation, no factor
is Of greater Importance than
the growing realization through
out Europe that it must unite
or sink further into difficulty.
Each step toward real unifica-
ton Of Europe is a major vic
tory for the free world. The
lesson for us is that with all
our hearts and all our might
we must combat every divisive
agitation in our own country.
But where there is honest
disagreement among us, debate
and discussion are beneficial.
To decide such differences, we
have traditionally and success
fully depended upon political
parties. Essential to Americas
political health today is a gen.
uine two-party system. No other
device in our particular form of
government can be so effective

To remain strong spiritually,
we must first remember that

the elements of our own
strength and that of our friends
and refuse to give way to fear

Nation Must Return

And so that we may not lose
that path we return again and
again to the contemplation Of
basic American principles. For
all to read, these are written
in our Declaration of Independ-
ence. in the Constitution of the
United States and its Bill Of
Rights. There is no dispute,
no problem among us, that can
not be solved by the principles

American Citizens
Must Face Responsibility

Because Of this, international
difficulties and internal prob
lens may challenge but cannot
defeat the real America. No one
who has seen, as I have seen,
the might and grandeur of the
United States - dominant in
councils of peace and in con-
tests of war-can doubt for a
single second her essential
soundnesS. Only her citizens
who comprise America-can do
her mortal hurt. But if we, un-
thinkingly, should fail to fulfill
cur obligations of citizenship
then. and only then. could gov
ernment by the people be in
danger.
During the past 10 months
my work has brought home to
me daily some of the internal
threats to free government
and the penalties Of failure by
the people to guard energeti-
cally against them. These dam
gers vary in their intensity in
different nations, but none is
ever wholly secure against them.
Certainly We are not inn
mune here. Evils which can
ultimately throttle free gov
eminent are present in today's
situation and they must be
faced by responsible citizen
ship. ] shall speak briefly of
four of these threats which to
me seem to be dangerous lapses
from the American way.
AS a first thing, we must, as
q people, hold fast to our faith
and ideals, which are funda-
mental to the free system. We
must work together in an at
moSphere Of good will and con-
fidence. Yet we see an increas-
ing trend toward unreasonable
antagonism between economic
elements Of our country-an
indulgence in the fantastic no.
ton that any major part of
our society can long prosper
unless the whole enjoys pros
perity. This is a danger that
is, far easier to intensity than
to reduce by depending exclu-
sively upon legislation.
Unless all Of us are prepared
to apply responsible citizenship
to our problems, the alternative
is to resort to masses of puni-
tive laws. Such a process will
be costly. futile and stupid, and
If long pursued can end only
in regimentation of all workers
and bureaucratic control of all
means Of production. The set.
tlement of disputes and griev-.
ances requires - together, of
course, with simple and clear
legal processes a climate of
good will. an appreciation of
good citizenship and respon-
sible concern for all the peo-
pie - and - most important
public confidence in the fair
ness and impartiality of ap-
pointed agents and agencies.
More benefit for America is to
be found in an ounce of real
leadership and honest speech
than In a ton of law that fails
to reflect the considered will of
the vast mo io,.;fxy

Declares One Party
Dominates Too Long

Political health Is endangered
If one party. by whatever means,
becomes permanently or too
long entrenched In power. The
almost inevitable consequence is
graft and incompetence in re-.
mote and even in prominent
places Of government. Obviously.
This is something that ap-,
plies today:
One party has been In power
too long in this country.
Survival of the tWo-party sys-
tenn clearly requires practice Of
citizenship. It means the care
full selection of all officers for
the conduct Of our affairs. be-
ginning with the lowest rung Of
the political ladder. Dishonesty
in a city council is as evil as
in a Federal bureau. II corrup-
ton is eliminated in those local
Offices where we have intimate
knowledge of each candidate, it
will disappear in the higher
places of government. The
councilman Of today is the ma
tional leader of tomorrow.
When every citizen partici-
pates in every part of the elec-
ton process from the precinct
caucus upward-we shall have,
throughout. able and incorrupt-
ible officials. Or If any unworthy
men, by deciet, gain official in
fluence and are bold enough to
practice their evil ways, punish
ment will be swift and severe.
I believe that an unending
effort Of the Abilene citizenship
project should be to arouse in
every American jealous deter
mination to make the political
conduct of his community and
state and nation his personal
business. When every citizen is
a politician in that sense. poll
tics will be the noblest Of pro-
fesSions-and the most produc-
tive for the common good.

Describes Threat
Of Communist Regime

An essential part Of that
higher citizenship is the alert
recognition of external as well
as internal dangers. These have
a reciprocal effect upon each
other-the one being magnified
by the presence and growth Of
the other. During the past
seven years. the grave economic,
social and military problems be-
gotten OF two World Wars have
been intensified by the an
riounced and fmplacable hostil-
ity Of the powerful Communistic
dictatorship. It has been a
global threat. manifesting itself
from the Far East to Europe in
outward extensions throughout
the vast periphery Of the Soviet
domain.
Early in It's course. China was
last to the free world In one Of
the greatest international dis
asters of our time-a type Of
tragedy that must not be re-
peated.
Because of the size and scope
of the Communistic menace, free
peoples became fearful; their
productivity was hampered by
doubt and fear: their living
standards and their confidence
were diminished in a climate of
helplessn ess. Encouragement
and poverty we're aggravated by
the physical ravages Of war, by
destruction of traditional trade
relationships, by the total abb
sence Of protecting military
forces.
After q period Of unhappy
confusion our country realized
that If all exposed and weak
ened nations should succumb
one by one to Communist
Establishment. propa g a n d a,
stolen elections, or force,
our own eventual plight would
be serious. America, cut OF
from sources of the raw ma
terials she lacks, would resem-
BILE a magnificent tractor in the
field-with no fuel to power it.
We came to understand that
only with our help could a bal
ance be restored and people
everywhere be encouraged to
act effectively for the preserva-
tion Of human freedom and q
satisfactory trade network.
Confidence and courage, with q
common understanding Of diff
cultieS and a common deter
mination to overcome them
all these were basic needs. Arms
and military formations were
necessary to import q certain
feeling Of security. but enlarged
productivity by an aroused, de-
termined, resourceful citizenry
was obviously the only long
term answer.

Of secrecy that surrounded

Of secrecy that surrounded
Yalta.
To preserve important areas
from communism and to keep
for ourselves stout allies in the
global war Of ideologies, we have
been spending billions Of doll
lars-1luch of it in Europe.
Our objective there has been to
make certain that this great
area with its skilled labor, pro-
ductive facilities and mineral
resources does not fall into the
Russian orbit.
Consequently, we have been
concerned with the development
of adequate military and eco
nomic strength--both of which
would be facilitated by some
measure OF political unity in
that region. It is clear that the
rate and duration of our ex-
penditures of this kind must
always be the concern of en-
lightened citizens. A bankrupt
America would mean the loss Of
all we hold dear and would leave
much Of the world almost naked

Iieup in Shipping
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. g.
The Federal Government moved
today to prevent a West Coast
shipping tieup from spreading
beyond 28 ships already held in
! port by a walkout of AFL sailors.
The Sailors Union of the Pacific
announced yesterday its contract
with Shipowners had been nulli-
fed by failure of the Wage Stabil-
ization Board to approve a wage
increase.
Federal Conciliator Omar Hos
kins called an emergency meeting
for 10 am. Monday between the
SUP and the shipowners, the
Pacific Maritime Association. Both
sides accepted.
The contract was signed last
summer after a 62-day strike. It
increased pay for experienced
Seamen by 5 per cent from $288
a month to 1902.
It was submitted in August for
WSB approval.
The WSB, after failing to reach
agreement yesterday, said the
matter would come up again at
its meeting next Wednesday.
But the union didn't wait. It
called the contract "nullified."
