ICA, Peru, March 20.-Our
expedition began its second year
of searching for the lost roads
of the Incas by delving into a
coastal mystery. For with the
inception o. the rainy season in

into raging rivers that sweep
away bridges and roads, and we
have moved to the desert coast.
The Inca road runs along the
entire 1,200-mile Peruvian coast.

Here in the valley Of lea, famous
for its vineyards, its wine. its
potent grape brandy and its
long-stapled cotton, we have
made our headquarters in the
buildings of an old cotton gin.
Using lea as a base we have
followed the Inca road through
some of the most fascinating
mysteries in. all Peru. Time has
disturbed nothing and solved
nothing. The mysteries are the
same as when, over 400 years
ago. the first Spanish knights,
suffocating in their armor, came
across the things Of lea"
Some time ago. pilots flying
international routes began to
notice strange markings in the
desert south Of lea around the
valley of Nasca. There was a
profusion of lines, miles in
length, etched into the desert
rectangleS, squares, Sunbursts,
drawings of fish monkeys, spi-
ders, scorpions.
The Inca road runs through
these lines and yet no Spaniard
reported it-for good reason.
The lines are seen indistinctly
or not all from the ground.
Crosses Another Mystery.
Etched into the sand-bound
cliff on the oceans edge is still
another mystery-"Tres Cruces"
the three crosses.
Who made them and why?
This has puzzled archaeologistS
since their discovery.
Nearby are the tombs of
Paracas which contain the
mummieS of people without
name, history. or even indica-
ton OF their origin-a people
who lived at least 1000 years
ago and buried their dead so
sumptuously that the textiles
removed from the mummies are
now on permanent display at
many museums. including the
METROPOLITAN in New York.
But these graves do not help
much-indeed they are in the
realm of mystery themselves.
Nothing on the surface recon-
Giles all these strange things ex-
cept the continuity Of the Inca
road.
The Three Crosses looked to us
like a giant candelabra-three
arms, rising from a base, bios

cross. It can be seen from IS
miles at sea. On a precipice ris-

Perhaps he felt that having

MiddIe-of-Roud PHILOSOPHY
Presidents Outlook Recognizes Struggle
For Individual Freedom and Better Way of Life

-of-the-road philosophy
with respect to people?
First. the President believes
that government should help
people help themselves. But
personal initiative and indi-
vidual responsibility the
muscles and sinews Of Ameri-
can strength-must be guarded
and reinforced.
Second, the middle-of-the-
road philosophy follows a
course between two extremes.
It rejects the extreme left.
which seeks to do everything
for people. This approach
destroys individual freedom
and resourcefulness, brings on
spiraling Government expendi-
lures, and requires excessive
taxes. At the same time, the
middle-way rejects the ex-
treme right, which refuses to
accept changes in our social
and economic life, and still
believes that man, regardless
of his condition of employ
ment, state of health, or age,
should always take care of
himself. This approach would
turn back the clock, indiscrim-
inately, at the expense Of
human welfare.
Third, this philosophy is
built on a code of fair play for
all Americans. It means that
every one is treated alike-that
no group or geographical area
is favored at the expense of
another.
Fourth, this philosophy
recognizes that in our eco
nomic system, most people de-
pend on regular wages for a
living. and that courage or per-
Sonal initiative will not always
protect them from destitution.
The middle-way holds that
the Government has a respon-
sibility to help cushion the
shock of personal disaster for
the individual.
These four basic principles
Of the Presidents philosophy
are founded on a deep moral
concern for the well-being Of
the individual. They are a
reaffirmation, in our society,
of the Prophets teaching that
thou shalt love thy neigh
bor."
What has this middle of the
road philosophy meant to the
well-being of Americans?
Heretofore, many millions of
citizens have not been able to
participate in the contributory
social security program and
thereby secure q measure Of
future economic security for
themselves and their families.

that about 5000 of the latter

"The problems of hard core
unemployment are found mainly
in certain industries, such as
coal mining and textiles, and
certain one-industry towns, and
their problems have never been
actually solved" Mr.. Mitchell
said.
Solutions in the past were
postponed when the outbreak of
war resulted in a sharp increase
in the demand for both goods
and labor, but the day of reck-
oning cannot always be post
poned.

Two years ago on q warm
August day in Boise, Idaho,
Gen. Eisenhower, the Republic
can nominee for President,
spoke to 10000 people from the
steps of the Capitol. He told
the crowd that his philosophy
of government was a middle
of-the-road philosophy.
AS ! read this speech the
next morning, I thought that
this is a philosophy of govern
ment which almost every
American can accept.
In recent months, I have
been asked time and time
again two questions: what
specifically is the Presidents
middle-of -the-road philosophy
with respect to human welfare?
What does this philosophy
mean to the well-being of
Americans?
The keystone of the Presi-
dents philosophy is a recogni-
ton of the basic struggle of
mankind for individual free
dom and for a better way Of
life.
Our Cover ment was
founded upon these principles
of freedom and dignity for the
individual, promotion of the
general welfare, and protection
Of certain and inalienable, per-
sonal rights. And the great
leaders of our country, down
through the years, have boil
stored these principles and
carried them forward with the
changing times.
Abraham Lincoln said: 1.-THE
object of government is to do
for the people what needs to
be done, but which they can
not by individual effort do at
all. or do so we'll"
AS a nation, therefore, we
are concerned with people and
human problems. People who
live in cities, small towns, and
rural areas-people who work
in factories, gas stations, lum-
ber mills, grocery stores, hospi-
tails. offices. and on farms.
AS a nation, we are con-
cerned, too. with how we can
improve schools for our Chill
dren, how we can secure ade-
quate medical care, and how
we can establish for ourselves
economic security in old age.
This is the framework for
the Presidents philosophy.
