Recognition Of Truths
importont to Analysis

Basic to our analysis of our
world situation is clear recogni-
ton Of several important truths.
I mention only a few of these,
but these few we can forget only
at our peril.
The first is that the Commu-
mist dictatorship is adroit in its
selection and use of every mag
Unable weapon to achieve its
ends. 1t uses force and the
threat Of force. It uses bribery
subversion and sabotage. 1t uses
propaganda.
This last weapon - propa-
ganda-is one which emphati-
cally requires from us new and
aggressive counter measures.
There is a dangerous dispropor-
ton between our country's eff
forts to tell the truth about
freedom and our Nations OBJ
jectives, on the one hand, ano
the propaganda of the REQ
dictatorship on the other. Fol
every spokesman of freedom
that we assign to the struggle
for mems minds and hearts, the
Communists assign scores; fol
every dollar we spend for in
formational purposes, they spend
$50 in opposition; for every WORD
we utter in the cause of liberty
and faith, they utter thousands
to eXtol their system and to de-
grade and defame the values Of
the free.
Legionnaires, we must preach
demonstrate and tirelessly sell
the vitality and value of free
dom in the world. Nothing is
more dangerous to our cause
than to expect Americas mes
sage to be heard if we don't
bother to tell it.
We must reaffirm to the op-
pressed masses of the world the
great truth that the God. who
gave life to humanity. at the
same time gave the right OF
liberty to man. And in our owr
interest. We must apply both ou,
intelligence and the necessary
material means to assist other
peoples to realize for themselves
the blessings of freedom anc
self-government.
Another Red weapon which W,
must vigorously counter is sub.
version. This phase of the world
wide battle goes on constantly
Fortunately. many nations hav'
become alerted to the dangers o
this menace and are taking step
against it.

People Must Be informed
OF Changed Condition

Stability in our national pur-
poses is essential.
Obviously this cannot be OBJ
tanned If there is to be marked
chahge-or if the world is to fear
a marked change-with every
veering of the partisan political
winds.
The only answer is that the
whole American people must be
informed and their decisions be
made clear.
OF course it is obvious that
much of the diplomatic work,
particularly those efforts that
are classed as preparatory toward
the reaching of agreements, be
conducted in confidence. :,
The political situations in the
several free countries are not
identical, and premature dis
closures of positions and argu-
ments could very we'll bar the
attainment Of any reasonable
D0AAO4O1As .
But on broad detectives and
purposes and on the acceptable
methods for obtaining them, the
American people must be fully
informed. Thus their decisions
will be appropriate to the situa-
ton and the world will know that
they are stable in terms of time.
This comprehensive approach
is difficult to achieve; perfection
cannot. Of course, be attained.
But the first lesson in today's
complicated world affairs is that
they are far too important to
all of us for any one party or
any one group 10 risk the ex-
clusion OF other Americanssiu
reaching answers that will even
tually affect the fate of all of
us. Success or failure insall we
hope to accomplish in Obtaining
q peaceful world may well hinge
upon our success in eliminating
politics and prejudice from our
Nations efforts toward this goal.

isolation or War

But dlfncult as our course is
we would do well to reflect that

the path of isolation would sur

to Communist despotism and ul-
timately forfeit our own secur-

in jeopardy the Civilization

We shall not be side-tracked

We shall continue to give ex-
preston to our peoples deep
seated desire to live at peace
with all nations. In pursuance
OF this effort. we have Loyalty
supported and worked with the
United Nations, which. in its
+ first nine years, has accom-
plished much in the cause of
peace. Clearly it has often failed
to fulfill our hopes. But that is
no reason to weaken our SUD-
port.
In the quest for peace, we
have sought to resolve specific
international disputes. In June
OF last year, we negotiated a
truce which ended the Korean
War. preserved the Republic of
korea's freedom, and frustrated
the Communist design for con-
quest. In January. at the Berlin
Conference. We sought q Com
munist agreement to the estab-
ishment Of a free and united
Germany and an Austrian peace
treaty. At Geneva, in April, we
sought the peaceful unification
OF Korea and tried to help settle
the Indo- Chinese War.
We have suggested other
means for reducing tensions. In
April last year, our Nation out
lined general principles for world
understanding. Last December
we suggested the international
pooling Of atomic resources for
peaceful purposes. Unfortu-
nately, the Communist reaction
to both proposals has been in
different or negative.

FOLLOWING Is the tert of Prest-

For the third time since World

With you, I give thanks that
ut last-we can come together at
q time when the sounds of battle

have been stilled.
In such q gathering made up
of those who have served our
country in time Of war. it seems
fitting that we turn our atten-
stion to our international affairs
and the Nations security. In
saying this, I do not mean that
any group or any section OF
America has a monopoly either
of interest or Of wisdom in deal
ing with complex world problems.
The opposite is true. The term,
bipartisan participation. is too
narrow to describe accurately
the attitude that all Americans
should maintain in this great
area of vital concern. Rather

national participation. whic h
would in turn imply serious study,

Safety of Nation Depends
On Unity of Free World

"A IIllru CruLn is CnlS: The
safety OF any single nation in
the free world depends directly
upon the substantial unity of
all nations in the free world. No
nation outside the Iron curtain
can afford to be indifferent to
the fate of any other nation
devoted to freedom.
If each. ignoring all others,
pursues only its own course to-
ward it's own ends, the Commu-
nists have unlimited opportunity
to turn the full force of their
power upon any selected vietim.
Each, beginning with the weakest
and most exposed, might then
succumb in turn, until the
strongest of .ell--ourselyes-
would be left alone to sface a
hostile world. The. final result
would be fearful to contemplate.
We win never permit it, to
happen.
The free countries of the
world have tremendous assets
in people. in productive resources,
in the staying power and flexi-
bility Of free institutions. How
effectively and unitedly these
countries employ these resources,
may well determine the outcome
Of the present struggle.
This is why your national adj
ministration has tirelessly sought
to solidify partnerships within
the free world. I should like to
talk to you briefly about GER
tain meanings of those partner
ships.
First and foremost, we can
have no partnership with any
nation that does not itself de-
sire world peace and want to
work for it. In this modern age.
war as an instrument of delib-
crate policy is so unthinkable Cor
us that we could not possibly
work in permanent harmony
with any nation which fails to
share our peaceful convictions.
On this basis we participate
in alliances with other nations
of good will. Today we are allied
with Is nations under the North
Atlantic Treaty. with 10 Ameri-'
can nations in the Rio pact, and
with six nations in the Pacific.
Now. what should we expect
of these partners? And what
should they expect of US?
The answer should be sharply
clear: We must work together on
a principle of united freedom. In
our common values and purposes.
in our common interests and
goals. we and our partners must
be solidly united. To fail in this
is to invite peril. At the same
time, in our thought. in our prac-
tical decisions. in our actions as
sovereign countries, we and. our
partners are and must be free.
Because we can be at once united
and free, we can be strong. And
let no one ever mistake the
origin of this strength.
This principle makes clear the
scope Of our mutual obligations.
II we ignore it, we create un-
realizable expectation on both
sides. Then any evidence diver
gence in action or reaction is
likely to give the impression that
one side is "unfaithful" to the
other.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-08-30

which we have believed for $50
years.
Now, at long last, we must
build such q reserve. And we
must maintain it. Wishful think
ing and political timidity must
no longer bar a program so abso-
lutely essential to our defense.
One point about this needs
special emphasis:
This reserve will not unfairly
burden men who have already
served. This administration will
see to that.
establishment of an adequate
reserve-an objective for which
the American Legion and other
patriotic organizations have
vainly fought for a generation
will be a number one item SUBJ
mitted to the Congress next year.
And I repeat
AS we contemplate this DOW
erful military system, we must
always remind ourselves that we
maintain it only because we
must: we must remember that
ornaments alone cannot provide
for the. world q future that is
secure and peaceful and filled
with promise for humankind. f.
Now, my friends. the foreign
policy OF our country is simply
q program pursuing peace under
methods that conform to these
and other truths of today,s in
ternational existence. Essential
to its success are the loyal and
effective officers OF our foreign
service, serving under the inspir-
ing leadership of Secretary of
States Dulles. With a few high
~ publicized exceptions. we
have been fortunate in the high
competence. professional ability
and devotion of these officers
upon whom we must depend in
our delicate and difficult nego-
I
t1ations with other nations and
IN assuring the world of our
peaceful purposes.
The only treasonous party we
have Is the Communist-happily
very small.
In respect to that pursuit of
peace. America does not change.
NO responsible individual-no
political party-wants war. No
matter how deep may be our
differences in other fields, in
this we are all Americans
nothing else! We must recog-
nize that. in applying such a
policy to. the many troublesome
and difficult problems which be-
set the free world, there will
continue to be differences of
opinion and friction about par
ticular issues.

Veteran News

Veterans, called TO active
duty after April Is, 1851,
should apply to the Veterans
Administration for their Gov
eminent insurance within 100
days after their discharge.
Veterans Administration Of
fers these veterans the most
inexpensive insurance protec-
ton in a participating.
non-convertible policy, Man
ager William J. Blake of the
Veterans Administrations Re
gional Office said.
Blake explained that veter-
ans who act within the 100
day limit may be granted up
to $4,000 worth of insurance
which would cost a twenty
five year old veteran as little
as $3.50 per month.
Veterans, since Korea, who
have service-connected disab-
ilities have up to one year
from the time they were rat
ed disabled by the Veterans
Administration to apply for
insurance. These veterans
were advised that formal APP
plication for a different type
Of insurance should be made
within that year even though
they may already hold five
year term insurance granted
them without medical eyani-
nation within 100 days of
their discharge from active
duty.
Blake said these disabled
veterans may be granted a
five-year term insurance plan
that may be converted to a
permanent plan at any time.
This type Of insurance is
particularly suitable for dis
abled veterans attending
school on a limited income.
Blake said. The veteran stu
dent can carry inexpensive
term insurance until his in
come increases and then con-
vert to one Of Veterans Ad-
ministration's permanent
plans.
QUESTION AND ANSWER
@ - Can a waiver of premi-
UNI due to total disability be
granted on insurance avail
able for disabled veterans?
A - Yes. In fact, the exis-
tence of total disability will
