shortly to follow. The statement
read:
Our country might coneeivably be
overwhelmed by superior military
forces, but our democracy will never
be imperiled by outside attacks. De-
mocracy is always weakened from
within. only its own feebleness or
complacency destroys 1t. II dies I'M
less IL draws life from every citizen
The job Of those who believe in the
democratic process is to be positive,
not negative, to build IT up, expose
and correct its mistakes, keep II
alive
Mr.. President, whether the de-
mocracy we live in be as small as
Czechoslovakia or as large as
United States, this task remains
an essential one: to improve and
increase the strength and vitality
Of our democratic processes.
No conscientious observer who
has ever examined the Ameri-
can scene has failed to put his
finger on our greatest national
weakness: the gap between our
pretensions and our performance
in the field of civil rights.
By civil rights we mean the per
sonal, political and economic
rights and privileges guaranteed
under the Constitution and the
law, and implicit in the demo-
cratic way of life-rights and priv
ileges which are. morally the heri-
tage Of every human being, re-
CARELESS Of his membership in any
ethnic group.
To be specific, I believe these
rights include the right to work,
the right to education, the right
to housing, the right to use of
public accommodations, of health
and welfare services and facilities,
and the right to live in peace and
dignity without discrimination
segregation, or distinction based
on race, religion, color, ancestry,
national origin, or place of birth.
These are the rights and priv
ileges without which no indivfd-
ual can participate freely or
completely in our democratic So
ciety. These are the rights which
government has the duty to de-
fend and expand.
I appreciate, Mr.. President, that
even the statement 1 have just
made will not attract the unani-
nous concurrence of my col
leagues. I am aware that the 90
members Of the United States
Senate come here from widely

A Moral Issue

For myself, Mr.. President, hui
man rights is not basically a social
issue, an economic issue, a politi-
cal issue, or even a legislative is
sue. It is primarily a moral issue.
and II is for that reason that !
feel as / do about il. / know, of
course, that it is an issue, and q
very real one, in all Of those other
contexts. Most particularly in the
past few years il has become an
issue which has begun TO affect
with a sudden and dramatic i'm
pact the conduct Of our foreign
policy. Brotherhood and equality
Of opportunity have now become
central aspects Of the image we
cast abroad.
just as Lincoln decided upon
emancipation Of the slaves, not
only as an "act Of justice" but
also as a military necessity"
so the achievement in America
Of racial equality Is now urgent
" needed on both Of these
grounds.
We know, too, Mr.. President,
that this is an issue which has
taken on new force and meaning
for the millions of uncommitted
peoples throughout the world. We
know that their spokesman, Ma
hatma Ghandi, once asked of An
glo Saxons everywhere, What can
conquer your objectionable pride
Of racer" We know in our hearts
that we must answer him: and we
know, too, that the Kremlin gloats
every time our answers seem hesi-
tant and insincere
Nevertheless, il seems TO me.
Mr.. President, that world reaction
is a shallow and insufficient mott
walton TO impel US to take the
great strides which are required
Of us. We shall not even convince
others IL our motivaticns are es-
sentiaIly tatical or political in ma
ture.
Our proper response, both to the

falter and 10 the millions Of people
in Asia and Africa who want to
believe in us, but are undecided, Is

scattered localities, backgrounds,

differences are legitimate, and il
is the first major purpose of the
legislative structure to allow these
differences to be expressed.
1 believe it is equally true, Mr..
President, that the second major
purpose Of the legislative structure
is to provide for action, once these
differences have been reasonably
accommodated and balanced.
1t is self-evident that Senators
are sent to Washington to repre-

equally true that we share COM

possibilities may and in this

know fun well that some OF us
would prefer not to face these
problems; but the fact of the mat
ter is, Mr. President, that the
problems are facing us. The fact
of the matter is that they must be
dealt with. Since we must deal
with them, let us hope that we
may approach them in the spirit of
liberation and understanding
rather than with recrimination or
bitterness.

From the point of view Of the practicing

problems unsolved sss. It is no wonder

Reform
Inquiry Loses

Efforts of reform group In
the International Union OF OPP
Grating Engineers to force Pres
ident William Z. Maloney TO
make an accounting of union
funds apparently have failed.
The unions l2-member board
of governors ended a stormy
five-day meeting yesterday in
which four or five members re-
portedly demanded the account
ing.
Despite the failure OF the
faction seeking the accounting,
there were indications yesterday
that q Senate investigation may
force top officials Of the union
TO explain how they have used
union funds. Robert f. Kennedy,
council for the Senate's select
committee investigating labor
and management. said the COM
mittee had received complaints
Of misuse Of union resources.
Mr.. Kennedy said the COM
mitJee would look into the COM
plants. He noted that books of
a Long Island N. Y, local were
suDpoenaed last week. 1t has
been charged that the local was
run by management group
rather than union officials.
