promised that our country will
welcome tens of thousands of
refugees from the terror of
enslavement in lands of dark
ness. Recognizing that neither
freedom nor safety can be
found by any one nation alone,
we have continued to build
coalitions to promote, on a
cooperative basis, the security
of all
We have lifted sitting arti-
fetal controls from our econ
omy, counting upon the Amer
ican genius for creative initia-
tive to advance the frontiers
of our prosperity beyond the
hopes of past generations.
We have silnplif1ed customs
regulations. Knowing that ma
terials. from abroad are as vital
to our economy as foreign
markets to receive our goods,
we have initiated a review of
our entire tariff policy. This
looks g toward the encourage
ment of greater and more
equitable trade among all free
nations. To permit time for
this we have extended the Re-
ciprocal Trade Act.
We have used the legitimate
and necessary authority Of the
Federal Government to- steady
farm prices, meanwhile blue
printing the extension of social
security coverage to more than
10 million unprotected citizens.
Dedicated to the fullest use
of the Nations resources for
the welfare of all, We have
REDEEMED policy on public
power to assure the maximum
Of local participation and de-
cision in projects that require
the partnership Of National.
State and local governments.
We are continuing to study
and will submit to the next
session of the Congress legis-
lative recommendations for
making more secure our in
dustrial peace and productive
ity. more clear and explicit the
rights of labor, its unions and
its employers.
We have undertaken with
determination the work of
cleaning up governmental op-
erations, and have made ex-
traordinary progress with this
job that so badly needed doing.
We have reorganized more
than half a dozen major de-
partments and agencies of the
Federal Government. The in
PRODUCTION of top business
management methods into
governmental activity-while
it may be painful to some-is
proving its worth daily In
greater efficiency and lower
costs.

from Disraeli to Churchill,
from Tsar Nicolas I to
Malenkov.
Over such a span Of time.
the only perfectly consistent
institution was a dead insti-
tuition. And the Republican
Party was-and is-very much
alive. A fact easily forgotten
is that through all those years
from the first year of war
between the States in 1861 to
the first year of the New Deal
in 1933-the Republican Party
was in Office three-fourths of
the. time. It helped mold each
age and was itself nodded by
each age-the extremist party
in one day. the champion of
something called "normalcy"
in another. With America and
with the times, it restlessly
changed; sometimes growing.
sometimes faltering, sometimes
partially divided-in short, be-
having like a normal, healthy
political party in a vital. thriv-
ing republic.
The ascendancy of the party
through the greater part OF
this great century is the clear
est answer to the feeble but
persistent myth that the Re-
publican Party is simply a con-
spiracy against change. The
century abounds with such
answers. They begin with the
Emancipation Proclamation.
And they continue:
In the 1905 and 70s, the
18th, 14th and 18th alnend-
ments; the purchase Of Alaska
and the Midway Islands; the
first Homestead Act:
In the 18S0s and COS: crea-
ton of the Civil Service Com
mission: the Sherman Anti
Trust Act; the declaration Of
the open-door policy in China;
the first inter-American con-
ferences;- the beginning Of a
national conservation program
with the establishment Of the
first national forests.
And from 1900 to the 1930s:
Establishment Of a Depart
ment of Labor and Commerce; ;
the Pure Food and Drug Act;
the strengthening of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission:
the breaking of the great
trusts; the first bureau Of
housing in the Federal Gov
ernment; the first gigantic
multiple-purpose dam; the
model Railway Labor Act; the
kellogg BRAND pact; the Gre
alton of a Federal Power Com
mission.

Government Spending
Reduced by Billions

We have reduced Govern
ment expenditures by billions
of dollars-making a balanced
budget something nearer to
realization than an account
ants dream. Nine billion dol
lars were cut from the requests
of the prior administration for
new appropriations, and SIS
billion from its estimate of ex-
penditures.
We have. in our respect for
priceless civil and human
rights, used the Federal au-
thority, wherever it clearly ex-
tends, to erase the stain of
racial discrimination and seq
regation. We have opposed the
confusing of loyalty with con-
formity, and all misguided at
tempts to convert freedom
into a privilege licensed by
censorS.
These are some of the deeds
of this administration which
serve as witnesses to some of
the truths we hold. They are
eloquent enough, perhaps, in
certain areas. But many are
little more than fragments.
They suggest rather than de-
fine the character and purpose
OF those who support or who
belong to the Republican Party.
If we turn from the legiSla-
tive record of one congressional
session to the party history
of a hundred years, we learn
more that is indicative-and
yet little that is conclusively
clear and binding upon us
today.
The fact is not surprising.
A century of history records
the changes in institutions:
1t does not fix their mold.
And this was a century of
Shattering change: from before
Bismarck to after Hitler, from
the third French Empire to
the fourth French Republic,

Allies Are Warned
Enemy Possesses
Terrible Weapons
BY the Asseeiaied Press

BOSTON, Sept. 22.-The tert
OF President EtSenhotUer's ad-
dress last night at Boston
Garden:
The Republican Party Is
nearing the Tooth anniversary
of its founding.
We would be wise, I think TO
recall briefly the circumstances
Of that event, just a few
months short of 100 years ago.
It came with the meeting Of
q small group of rebellious
Wings and disenchanted Demo-
Gratis in the little town Of
Ripon, Wis. Other towns. un-
,derstandably coveting the hon.
ors of history, dispute the par
ticular claim of this Wisconsin
community. And indeed po-
htical dissent and disillusion
were seething in those years
far across town limits and
State borders. Everywhere the
tremorS Of a divided Nation
were felt. To many the drift
toward civil war seemed fate
fully sure. But there is no
dispute as to the purpose in
spring the many groups who
reached for a new hope
and a new party which
they called Republican. That
purpose, everywhere plainly de-
fined and passionately pro-
claimed, was to halt the ex-
tension of the institution of
slavery.
We, who shall shortly be
celebrating the Tooth anniver-
sary Of that party that so came
to birth, find ourselves, too,
living in a time dark with the
shadow of dreaded war. It is
a time, too, which has seen an
institution of slavery - ele-
waited now to the awful dignity
of a political philosophy and
inspired with the terrible am
bition of world conquest
divide not a nation, but the
world, against itself. And at
this precise time again there
has come the summons of the
American people calling upon
the Republican Party to re-
deem the hopes of the past
and to save the promise of the
future.
Evening star., 1953-09-22

can be solved by the invention
Of q slogan. We aspire to
proving ourselves more gifted
in civics than in THEATRES. We
are more concerned with to-
days cares than tomorrow's
headlines. We believe that
there is no cleverness of phrase
that can cover shallowness of
thought. We confess that If
America-its Government and
its people-are hravely to meet
the trials of this age of peril,
we know of no substitutes for
hard work, intensive thought.
constructive criticism and q
readiness to sacrifice.
This party is, at the same
time and in the same degree,
confident Of the future. We
believe that our thinking and
our emotions are unclouded by
various brands of cynicism
that bear the label of political
sophistication. We do not
think that America is deca-
dent-nor that free nations
are incapable of achieving
unity-nor that free peoples
are too witless to govern them
selves prudently. We are. con-
f1dent Of the strength of our
physical resaurces-the full
ness of our harvests, the speed
of our assembly lines, the
SkillS of our scientists and the
stamina of our soldiers. And
we are no less confident of the
resources in the hearts and
minds of our people.
And this party of ours is
free. We are the political cap
tiveS of no class or section or
interest of our country-and
we are the prisoners of no
static political or economic
dogmas ruling our decisions.
AS a result, it is inconceiv-
able to us to address q single
group or element as a political
province or dependency. And
we face and make decisions
not in the light of some rig
idly preconceived political
axiom but in the only light in
which we can clearly discern
what is just-the peace and
well-being of our whole people.

Addresses Party
As Fellow Patriots

The circumstances Of this
anniversary, then. call for
much more than the oratory
of self -congratulation. They
call for more than any display
however justified-of parti-
san pride. For even as we meet
as Republicans, our minds are
troubled by problems and
stirred by sentiments far
transcending the self-interest
of a political party. Our
hearts are filled with concern
for the welfare and the safety
of our country. Such concern
instantly and inevitably in
wolves attention to the strength
and security of the whole
free world. We therefore see
our party not as an end in
itself but as a magnificent
means - a means through
which countless thousands yof
devoted citizens can cooperate
in the conquering of problems
that beset free men every
where. I believe. therefore,
you will agree that my duty
as President is to address you,
not as partisans, but first. and
above all, as patriots of
America and citizens of the
world.
In this spirit, I suggest that
there is one particular and in
dispensable way in which each
one of us can take part in this
Republican centennial. This
way has none of the color of
a fireworks display. none of the
thrill of a political convention.
1t is a simple matter Of faith
and purpose: To define clearly
and honestly in our minds the
kind of political party in which
We believe and which we pro-
YooSe tn maintain.
Evening star., 1953-09-22
Party Principals
Summarized

So the spirit of this party
brings us logically and inevi-
tably to the stating of its prin-
ciples. These-however many
they may seem to be upon
analysis venture to summa-
rize in this one statement of
belief:
We are one Nation, gifted
by God with the reason and
the will to govern ourselves,
and returning our thanks to
Him by respecting his supreme
creation-the free individual.
Here we stand. Here. also
If you will-are the dogmas,
the plain moral precepts.
which define our cause and
govern our conduct.
We are one Nation and one
people.
We-this American society
are not the product Of some
tentative, calculating, self
interested social contract or
alliance between conflicting
classes and sections. We are
not some perilously balanced
equation of political conven-
fence in which labor plus farm
plus capital plus management
equals America.
In the American design
as we perceive it-each group
in our Nation has special
rights. Each has peculiar
needs. None has peculiar
privileges.
We believe in people, in all
the people: Laborer and
banker, preacher and teacher,
doctor. lawyer, farmer, ma
chinist, white-collar worker,
housewife, miner, artist, mer-
chant, rancher. farm hand.
switchman, clerk.
The supreme belief Of our
society is in the dignity and
freedom of the individual. To
the respect of that dignity, to
the defense of that freedom,
all effort is pledged.
This is no mere academic
assertion. This sovereign ideal
uncompromisingly DEGREES
that, in this age Of peril, the
security Of our whole Nation
the preservation Of our free
system - must: direct every
thought and every decision.
We know the enemies of free
dom to be equipped with the
most terrible weapons of de-
struction. We know, then,
that we can meet them with
only one answer: There is no
Sacriflce-no labor, no tax, no
service-too hard for us to
bear to support a logical and
necessary defense Of our free
dom. We free people will join
our efforts with any men truly
ready to lift the threat of ca
tastrophic war from the world.
We will no less pasSionately
join our own efforts to thwart
any aggressor who hopes to
use that threat to rule the
world.
Irepeat: This sovereign faith
Of ours in the freedom and
dignity Of the individual is in.
finitely more than q dry and
lifeless philosophic doctrine.
1t is the nerve and the fiber
Of our very laws. This supreme
ideal-not merely the votes Of
so many Congressman or SEN
atorS-iS what sends aid to
drought-stricken areas, guar
antees a decent income to
farmers, banishes needless re-
strictionS on individual enter
prise, guards the free union Of
workers, extends the protec-
tion Of social insurance to the
aged and the needy.
This sovereign ideal we be-
lieve to be the very source Of
the greatness and the genius
Of America.
In this, we proclaim nothing
very new. It was seen clearly
by a wise French visitor who
came to America considerably
more than a century ago. He
patiently sought the greatness
and genius Of America in our
fields and in our forests, in
our mines and in our COM
merce, in our Congress and in
our Constitution, and he found
them not. But he sought fur
ther and then he said:
