Overwatering African violets is

It isn't how you water but how

between success and failure, tire

African violets when the soil teeis
dry. They can even be grown in

Public Policy Is Not
Merely q Battle

If proposed laws and pol
icies are described as mere
backgrounds on which indi-
viduals or parties seeking po-
litical power suffer defeat or
achieve victory, then indeed is
the American system distorted
for us and for the world. If
the fortunes of the individual
supporting or opposing a
measure become, in our public
accounts, as important as the
principle or purpose of the
project and its effect upon the
Nation-then indeed are we
failing to develop the strength
that understanding brings. If
the day comes when personal
conflicts are more significant
than honest debate on great
policy. then the flame of free
dom will flicker low indeed.

IS Pct. of People Live
Under Censorship

But recent reports state that
rs per cent of all the people
who inhabit the earth live un-
der censorship. Illiteracy af-
fects vast numbers in many
areas of the globe. And, Of
course, there are language and
cultural barriers. Understand
ing cannot, under these cir
cumstances, be easily or quick
ly achieved. Into the vacuum
caused by censorship and illit-
eracy pours the positive and
poisonous propaganda of the
Soviets. For "a hours each day
it pours in.
The Communist propaganda
machine, for instance. tire
lessly tells all the world that
our free enterprise system in
evitably must collapse in
mass unemployment. indus
trial strife, financial bank
ruptcy. Time and again. COM
munistic propaganda has
shifted and reversed its tao
tics. But this one charge is
firmly fixed in the party line
from Marx to Malenkov.
Our United States Informa-
ton Service, cooperating with
similar efforts by friendly ma
tions, seeks to combat propa-
ganda with truth. Every dol
lar we put into it, when wisely
used, will repay us dividends
in the triumph of truth and
the building of understanding.
But our official information
service is properly limited in
purpose, as it is in size. The
mass of information of us and
to us must flow through the
established publicity media of
the several nations. OF all

edge is a task that cannot be
accomplished solely by our
schools or our churches or
from political platforms. The
malignant germs Of misunder-
standing and misinformation
are at work in the minds Of
men "a hours of every day.
To combat them challenges the
study and the effort of every
individual who occupies any
position of influence on public
opinion.
Every newspaper, every mag
azine, every radio and tele-
vision station has the mission
of bringing home to all our
people. and to as many other
people of the world as we can
reach, the facts of existence
today. But this is not enough.

Facts Must Be Related
In True Perspective

~ iiUS CISPCStVS
Every agency of human COM
munication also must help
people everywhere achieve per-
spective with respect to facts.
Suppose the American press
should faithfully report the
details of every crime COM
mitted in our country, but
should be invariably silent on
the apprehension and punish
ment of criminals. Would there
not soon be created a universal
impression of national laWleSs-
ness, disorder and anarchy?
Facts must be related one to
the other in truthful perspec-
tive. Only within such frame
work shall we reach clear de-
ciSionS in the waging of the
continuous struggle for
stronger America, a peaceful
world.
Domestic unity and strength
as we'll as international under
standing depend, therefore, in
great part, on the free flow of
information, and it's balanced
presentation.
I am not suggesting that the
cause of domestic unity would
be served by any attempt of
yours to slant the news, or to
turn your news columns into
editorials. The consequent loss
of public respect and conf
dence would soon destroy the
influence of the press. But I
do believe most earnestly that
the press should give emphasis
to the things that unite the
American people equal to that
it gives to the things that di-
vide them.
News of events which di-
vide may be more spectacu-
lar than news of developments
which unity. But free press
can discharge it's responsibility
to free people only by giving
all the facts in balance. Facts
in perspective are vital to
valid citizen judgments. Sound
Judgment is crucial to the
preservation of freedom. Hence
a free press can sustain itself
only by responsibly report
ing all the facts and ideas
the spectacular and the un-
spectacular, the unifying facts
and the divisive.
Could not reader under
standing be as powerful a
criterion in newspaper Offices
as reader-interest?
Need these two qualities be
incompatible? I think not.
Certainly. the great journal
lists of our day. in critically
examining and reporting on a
legislative proposal must in
evitably deal with such con-
Structive questions as:
Does it or does it not tend
to sustain our economy; to
provide needed military
strength; to increase our un-
derstanding of others or 9TH
ers' understanding of US? Does
it give us a more secure posi-
ton internationally? Does it
promise to preserve and nur-
ture love of liberty and self
dependence among our people?
Does it improve our health and
our living standards? Does it
insure to our children the kind
of nation and government we
have known?

I trust you do not view my
remarks as an attempt to tell
you how to run your own busi-
ness. I am, however, willing to
take the risk Of your misin-
depreciation. James Madison
once wrote: "A popular gov
ernment without popular in
formation or the means of ac-
quiring it is but a prologue to
a farce or a tragedy or per-
haps both" So we are talking
of a problem that the respon-
Sible governmental official
cannot ignore, just as none Of
you cam close your eyes to it.
We are not moving toward
farce or tragedy. knowledge
of the facts and of their in
terrelationshipS is more than
ever essential to the solution
Of human problems.
I know that to present the
facts in perspective is a diff
f1cult task. The haste of liv-
ing creates reader impatience.
It discourages complete expla-
nation and places a premium
upon cliches and slogans. We
incline to persuade with an
attractive label; or to damn
with a contemptuous tag.
But catchwords are not in
formation. And, most certainly,
sound popular judgments can
not be based upon them
On the steady, day-by-day
dissemination of complete in
formation depends our peoples
intelligent participation in
their own Government. For
them that is no light thing.
The decisions they must make
are crucial in character and
Worldwide in scope. On them
depends all the necessaries
and comforts of life-from the
amount of money in their
pocketbooks, the pavement on
their highways. the housing
in their towns, to the sort of
country they Wilt leave be-
hind as a heritage to their
children and grandchildren.
They need full and accurate
information.
If increased knowledge and
understanding are necessary
to promote the unity of our
people. they are equally neces-
sary to the development Of
international cooperation. At
this juncture in world affairs,
ignorance of each others ca
pacities, hopes, prejudices, be-
liefs and intentions can de-
stroy cooperation and breed
war.
Nowhere on this planet
today is there an impreg-
nable fortress, a continent or
island so distant that it can
ignore all the outer world. II
this is not to be the age Of
atomic hysteria and horror,
we must make it the age Of
International understanding
and cooperative peace. Even
the most rabid Marxist, the
most ruthless worshipper Of
force, will in moments of san
ity admit that. International
understanding, however, like
domestic unity, depends-in

LotDiflg Is the teIt OF President
EiSenhower'S prepared address
last night before the American
Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton:
I am honored by your invi-
tation to speak to you.
The responsibilities and the
constructive influence of the
American press make this a
significant occasion to me; one
that I welcome. From personal
experience. in war and peace,
I have come to recognize your
dedication to truth and to the
welfare of your country. You
deserve the applause Of free
men. everywhere.
You are, of course, cosmo-
politan in thought and char
acter; at least, I am quite
well aware that after sitting
between the st. Louis Post
Dispatch and the Minneap-
oils Star and Tribune, that
you are not members of q one
party press.
Eight years ago-almost to
the day addressed your bu-
reau Of advertising. At that
moment, the horror or war was
a bitter memory Of the recent
past. A revulsion against war
or any reminder of war pos
sessed our people. The atmos-
phere was charged with emo
tionalism that could have de-
stroyed our military strength.
Fortunately. our newspapers
did not then permit us. nor
are they now permitting us. to
forget the ever-present reality
Of aggressive threat.
Aggression is still a terrible
reality, though on all the con-
tinents and the islands of the
earth, mankind hungers for
peace. This universal hunger
must be satisfied.
Either the nations will build
a cooperative peace or. one
by one. they will be forced to
accept an imposed peace, now
sought by the Communist pow
ers, as it was by Hitler.
But free men still possess
the greater portion of the
globes resources and Of the
potential power to be pro-
duced therefrom. They pos
sess scientific skill. intellec-
tual capacity and sheer num-
bers in excess Of those avail
able to the Communists. Con-
sequently. free men can have
a cooperative peace, II with
hearts and minds cleansed OF
fear and doubt, together they
dedicate themselves to it in
unity and in understanding
and in strength.
It is urgent that we try to
clarity our thinking about the
prospect. Let us start with
our own present position. This
Nation is a marvel of produc-
ton, rich in total wealth and
individual earnings; powerful
in a unique combination OF
scientific, military. economic
and moral strength. For gen.
erations our country has been
free from the devastation of
war in her homeland and is
blessed with staunch and
friendly neighbors. We covet
no nations possessions. We
seek only the friendship of
others. We are eager to repay
this priceless gift in the same
coin.
Surely, the United States
by all the standards of history
should possess a genuine
peace and tranquility.
But our Nation today is not
truly tranquil. We, her peo-
pile. face a grave danger which.
in essence at least, all Of us
understand This danger, this
peril calls for two far-reaching
policies or purposes behind
which all in our country should
he solidly united.

lowing Is the tert OF President
EisenhoiDer's prepared address
last night before the American
Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton:
Evening star., 1954-04-23
Stronger America
Must Be Aim of All

They are:
First: All our efforts must be
bent to the strengthening of
America in dedication to lib
erty; in knowledge and COM
prehension; in a dependable
prosperity widely shared; and
in an adequate military pos
ture.
Second: This strength must
be devoted to the building of
a cooperative peace among
men.
These are the fixed purposes
of the vast majority of our
people. But in a world of
theological division. competi-
tive rivalry, turbulent crisis in
one place and political up
heaval in another, their
achievement demands far more
than good intentions or glow
ing words.
If we are to build and main
tain the strength required to
cope with the problems of this
age, we must cooperate one
with the other, every section
with all others, each group
with its neighbors. This means
domestic unity. about which
talk necessarily. Unity does
not imply rigid conformity to
every doctrine or position of a
particular political figure. But
it does require a common devo-
tion to the cardinal principles
of our free system; shared
knowledge and understanding
of our own capacities and op-
portunities; and a common de-
termination to cooperate un-
reServedly in striving toward
our truly important goals. This
type Of unity is the true source
of our great energy-our spir-
itual, intellectual, material and
creative energy.
Furthermore, our people,
strong and united, must CO.
operate with other nations in
helping build a cooperative
peace. Such cooperation re-
quires the American people to
increase their understanding
of their fellow men around the
globe. Likewise. the nations
beyond our shores must come
to understand better the
American people-particularly
our hopes and our purposes.
And, because of the relatively
greater stake we have in world
stability, because history has
decreed that responsibility of
leadership shall be placed upon
this Nation, we must take the
initiative in the development
of that genuine international
understanding on which a CO.
operative peace must be built.
In these truths l find my
justification for this appear
