we maintain powerful military

Second. we must stay alert to
the fact that undue reliance on

invites an enemy to resort To
another. We must, therefore,

We must. therefore, extend the

Of true partnership among free
peoples.
To advance these many ef-
forts, the Congress must act In
this session on appropriations,
legislation, and treaties. Today
/ shall mention especially our
foreign economic and military
programs.
The recent economic progress
in many free nations has been
most heartening. The productive
ity Of labor and the production
Of goods and services are in
creasing in overwhelming areas.
There is a growing viii to Inn
prove the living standards Of
all men. This progress is impor-
tant to all our people. It prom
Uses us allies who are strong and
self-reliant; it promises q grow

ucts of our mines, our factories,
and our farms.
But only through steady eff
fort can we hope to continue
this progress. Barriers still inn

ital needed to develop each ma
tons human and material re-
sources. Wise reduction Of these
barriers is long-term objective
Of our foreign economic policy
Ia policy of an evolutionary
and selective nature, assuring
broad benefits to our own and
other peoples.
We must gradually reduce
certain tariff obstacles to trade,
These actions should. Of course,
be accompanied by a similar
lowering Of trade barriers by
other nations, so that we may
move steadily toward greater
economic advantage for all. We
must further simplify customs.
administration and procedures.
We must facilitate the flow of
capital and continue technical
assistance, both directly and
through the United Nations, to
less developed countries to
strengthen their independence
and raise their living standards.
Many another step must be
taken In and among the nations
of the free world to release
forces Of private initiative. In
our own Nation, these forces
have brought strength and pos
perity: once released, they win
generate rising incomes In these
other countries with which to
buy the products Of American
industry, labor and agriculture.
On January 10, by special
message, ! shall submit specific
recommendations for carrying
forward the legislative phases
Of our foreign economic policy.

forces abreast Of the advances
Of science. our military planning
must be flexible enough to utilize
the new weapons and techniques
which flow ever more speedily
from our research and Develop
ment programs. The forthcom-
ing military budget therefore
emphasizes modern airpower in
the Air Force, Navy and Marine
Corps and increases the ermpha-
sis on new weapons, especially
those of rapid and destructive
striking power. It seeks continu-
Gus modernizatiDn of the Army.
It assures the maintenance
Of effective. retaliatory force
as the principal deterrent to
overt aggression. It accel-
crates the continental defense
program and the build-up Of
ready military reserve forces. It
continues q vigorous program Of
stockpiling strategic and critical
materials and strengthening our
mobilization base. The budget
also contemplates the strategic
concentration Of our strength
through redeployment of certain
forces. It provides for reduction
Of forces in certain categories
and their expansion In others. to
fit them to the military realities
Of our time. These emphases
in our defense planning have
been made at my personal direc-
ton after long and thoughtful
study. In my Judgment, they
will give our Nation a defense
accurately adjusted to the ma
tional need.
Fourth, pending a world agree
ment on armament limitation.
we must continue to improve
and expand out supplies Of nu-
clear weapons for our land, naval
and air forces while, at the
same time. continuing our
encouraging progress In the
peaceful use Of atomic power.
And fifth, in the administra-
ton Of these costly programs, we
must demand the utmost in eff
flciency and ingenuity. We must
assure our people not only Of
adequate protection but also Of
a defense that can be carried
forward from year to year until
the threat Of aggression has dis
appeared.
To help maintain this kind Of
armed strength and improve Its
efficiency, I must urge the en-
actinent Of several important
measures in this session.

say, therefore, to the 64tn
Congress:
In all areas basic to the
strength Of America, there will be
to the extent I can insure them

lations between the executive
and legislative branches Of this
Government. Let the general
good be our yardstick .on every
great issue Of our time.
Our efforts to defend our
freedom and to secure a Just
peace are. Of course, inseparable
from the second great purpose
Of our Government: To help
maintain q strong. growing econ
omy-arl economy vigorous and
free. In which these are ever
increasing opportunities. just re-
wards for effort, and q stable
prosperity that is widely shared.
In the past two years, many
important governmental actions
helped our economy adjust to
conditions Of peace; these and
other actions created q climate
for renewed economic growth.
Controls were removed from
wages, prices and materials. Tax
revisions encouraged increased
private spending and employ
ment. Federal expenditures were
sharply reduced, making possible
q record tax cut. These actions,
together with flexible monetary
and debt management policies,
helped to halt imitation and
stabilize the value Of the dol
lar. A program Of corporation
and partnership in resource de-
velopment was begun. Social
security and unemployment in
surance laws were hroadened and
strengthened. New laws started
the long process Of balancing
farm production with farm mar
kets. Expanded shipbuilding and
stoclpiling programs strengthen
ed key sectors Of the economy.
while improving our mobilization
base. A comprehensive new
housing law brought impressive
progress In an area fundamental
to our economic strength and
closed loopholes In the old laws

tons. Many Of these programs
are just beginning to exert their
main stimulating effect upon the
economy generally and upon
specific communities and indus

Worlds Free Nations
FORGING New Bonds

Just as nations Of this helni-
sphere. Ia the historic Caracas
and Rio conferences. have closed
ranks against imperialistic COM
munisrn and strengthened their
economic ties, so free nations
elsewhere have forged new bonds
Of unity.
Recent agreements between
Turkey and Pakistan have laid
o foundation for increased
strength In the Middle East.
With our understanding support.
Egypt and Britain. Yugoslavia
and Italy. Britain and Iran have
resolved dangerous differences.
The security Of the Mediterra-
mean has been enhanced by an
alliance among Greece, Turkey
and Yugoslavia. Agreements in
Western Europe have paved the
way for unity to replace past
divisions which have under
mined Europe's economic and
military vitality. The defense
Of the West appears likely at
last to include a free, democratic
Germany participating as an
equal in the councils Of NATO.
In Asia and the Pacific, the
pending Manila Pact supple
ments our treaties with Austria
liza. New Zealand. the Philippines,
Korea and Japan and our pros
pectiye treaty with the Republic
Of China. These pacts stand as
solemn warning that future mill
tary aggression and subversion
against the free nations Of Asia
will meet united response. The
Pacific Charter. also adopted at
Manila. is q milestone in the
development Of human freedom
and self-government in the Pa
cific area
Under the auspices Of the
United Nations, there Is promise
Of progress In our country's plan
for the peaceful use Of atomic
energy.
Finally. today the world is at
peace. It is. to be sure. an in
secure peace. Yet all humanity
finds hope In the simple fact
that for an appreciable time
there has been no active major
battlefield on earth. This same
fact inspires us to work all the
more effectively with other ma
tons for the well-being, the
freedom. the dignity. Of every
human on earth.

clear weapons. This power.
combined with the proclaimed
intentions Of the Communist
leaders to comInunize the world,
is the threat confronting US
today.
To protect our nations and our
peoples from the catastrophe OF
q nuclear holocaust, free nations
must maintain countervailing
military power to persuade the
Communists Of the futility OF
seeking their ends through ag-
gression. II Communist rulers

each Of us may and must exer-
else his high duty to strive in
every honorable way for endur-
ing peace.
The military threat is but one
menace to our freedom and Sc
curity. We must not only deter
aggression; we must also frus-
trate the effort Of COMMUNISTS To
gain their goals by subversion.
To this end, free nations must
maintain and reinforce their Co
hesion, their internal security,
their political and economic
vitality, and their faith in free

J In such a world, Americas
course is clear:
We must tirelessly labor to

We must strengthen the coll

the House and the Senate:
Mr.. President, Mr.. Speaker
members Of the Congress:
First. I extend cordial greet
ings to the 84th Congress. We
shall have much to do together;
/ am. sure. that we shall get II
done-and that we shall do II
In harmony and good VIII.
At the outset, / believe II
would be well to remind our.
selves Of this great fundamental
in our national life: Our COM
mon belief that every human
being is divinely endowed with
dignity and worth and inalien-
able rights. This faith, with its
corollary - that to grow and
flourish people must be free -
shapes the interests and aspira-
tons of every American.
From this deep faith have
evolved three main purposes Of
our Federal Government:
First. to maintain justice and
freedom among ourselves and,
to champion them for others 50
that we may work effectively
for enduring peace:
Second. to help keep our econ
omy vigorous and expanding.
thus sustaining our international
strength and assuring better
jobs, better living. better oppor-
tunities for every citizen;
And third, to concern our
ourselves with the human prob
lens Of our people so that every
American may have the oppor-
tunity to lead a healthy. pro-
ductive and rewarding life.
Foremost among these broad
purposes of Government is. our
support Of freedom. justice and
peace.
It is of the utmost Importance
that each Of us understand the
true nature Of the struggle now
taking place in the world.
It is not a struggle merely Of
economic theories. or Of forms
Of government, or Of military
power. At issue is the true ma
ture of man. Either man Is the
creature whom the Psalmist
described as "a little lower than
the angels" crowned with glory
and honor, holding dominion
over the works" Of his Creator;
or man is a soulless. animated
machine to be enslaved. used and
consumed by the state for its
own Qualification.
It is, therefore, q struggle
which goes to the roots Of the
human spirit, and its shadow
falls across the long sweep Of
mans destiny. This prize, so
precious. so fraught with ulti-
mate meaning, is the true. OBJ
ject Of the contending forces in
the world.
In the past year, there has
been progress justifying hope,
both for continuing peace and
for the ultimate rule of freedom
and justice in the world. Free
nations are collectively stronger
than at any time in recent years.
