tribute to the common enter
prise in whatever way it can.
No nation should be deemed
incapable of contributing in
some fashion to the common
goal.
Ingredients Of Helping
The ingredients. of this as
sistance must be technical
services, private and public
loans, dependable, mutually
helpful trade relationships
grants in emergency situations,
security help in transition
years, and, above all, continu-
ing efforts to build true under
standing among nations and
peoples, without which all else
will fail.
Foreign capital helped our
own country make spectacular
progress during the first three
quarters of the 10th century
capital which over a 40-year
period we repaid with interest.
So too, can private and public
capital, under the right condi-
tons. now assist the less-de-
veloped nations make sound
progress toward the achieve
ment Of their goals. The
right conditions" must include
both an honorable and respon-
sible attitude within the ma
tons needing the capital and
intelligent trade relations
among all free nations.
No other aspiration domi-
mates my own being so much
as this: That the nations of
East and West will find de-
pendable, self guaranteeing
methods to reduce the vast
and essentially wasteful ex-
penditures for ornaments, so
that much of the savings may
be used in a comprehensive
and effective effort for world
improvement.
AS the less-developed ma
tons succeed in establishing
viable economies and raising
their living standards, our own
economy will soar to new
heights and our technology will
be challenged as never before.
Burdensome SURPRISES - even
those of wheat-will disappear.
Indeed, the world may then be
threatened with very real def
cits-in food, energy. minerals.
Enlarged demand throughout
the world will have to be met
by new methods, and more eff
fective use of resources every
where.
The world must learn to work
together-or finally it will not
work at all.
This is not a problem for the
distant future. Within the life
time Of many of you here the
global population will reach 5
billion. You must now help de-

or on the shattering of blissful
self -suff1ciency and the growth
of exacting interdependence; or
on the development of power so
awesome that nations now have
no logical alternative to re-
placing coercion with honest
negotiation and cooperation.
These and other great changes
are obvious, but whether they
will lead us to disaster or to a
new era Of hope and accom-
plishment will depend on the
degree of understanding and
wisdom we apply in solving a
vast array of problems.
Because upon our powerful
Nation the mantle of free world
leadership has fallen, our re-
sponsibility in the search for
solutions is unacceptable. And,
since in our country the basic
social power is in the hands Of
all the people, each citizen bears
directly a part of the RESPONSE
bility for right action. Each of
you here today must help make
the fateful decisions of the fu-
ture. Study of the past and the
present will help to assure that
they are made wisely.
Cites Worlds Growth
Think for a moment of the
type of decision you will be
forced to make in the light of
just one obvious trend in the
world scene.
When you of my age were
youngsters, William Allen
White was disturbed by the fact
that Kansas was losing popula-
ton. What would he say to-
day about the rapid growth of
Kansas and the swelling pop
ulation Of the Nation?
What would his reaction be
to present estimates that while
our country's population is in
creasing to 275 million in the
next 80 years, the worlds pop
ulation will grow to nearly S
billion?
Many peoples of the world,
once dominated and submissive,

involved in a great ferment,

mainly may, in freedom,
achieve stupendous increases in
economic output, and increase
the sum of human happiness
on this earth.
The task ahead is not for
the faint-hearted.
But does anyone of Central
Kansas need be told that our
parents and grandparents who
first worked this black soil
were not faint-hearted? They
had faith-faith in the re-
ligious concepts that dominated
their beings, faith in the vir-
tue and success of their own
labor, faith in their neighbors
and in the inexhaustible poten-
tial of free men.
If they were here today, they
would, I'm sure, wonder
whether we possess for our
time, as they did for theirs,
a comprehension of the con-
cepts and basic principles
which, universally applied, can
lead mankind toward a world
community of free nations,
characterized by peace and JUS
tice.
Allegiance Widened
Our forefathers who pio-
neered this land were concerned
initially with individual family
welfare. Soon, however, they
developed allegiance to larger
communicative State and
Nation-and in doing SO they
did not diminish their devotion
to family or local community;
indeed, they strengthened it.
If they saw the world as it is
today. they would be the first
to realize that peoples every
where must now achieve an
allegiance to the wider, free
world community, and in doing
so they will thereby strengthen,
make more meaningful-their
devotion to family, State and
Nation.
When this library is filled
with documents, and scholars
come here to probe into some
Of the facts of the past half
century, I hope that they, as
we today, are concerned pri-
marily with the ideals, prin-
ciples and trends that provide
guides to a free, rich, peaceful
future, in which all peoples can
achieve ever-rising levels of
human well-being.
Those who have so gener-
ously made possible the con-
struction of this library do not
seek reward or acclaim. Yet, l
profoundly believe that they will
feel deep qualification in the
knowledge that thus they may
have helped in some small
measure to assure the Nations
eternal adherence to these SIM
pie ideals and principles as
free men shape historic trends
toward noble goals.
God grant that this may be
so.

tional structure, a library.
In this library will be placed
initially most Of the written
records of my military and
presidential service. AS time
passes, other documents per-

gradually be added. One i'm
portant addition already adj

papers Of John Foster Dulles

to life in Abilene so years ago.
In spite of the revolutionary
changes that have come to us
during this half century, I be-
lieve they are as valid for today
as they were then.
The generosity of the Ameri-

beautiful structure that will
rise on this land is highly
gratifying to me. No gesture
could touch me more deeply
than centering this meaningful
enterprise in the heartland of
America and having it bear my

The request was included in
a resolution by the Progressive
Citizens Association of George

borhood's former playground
dierctor. Myer Eudell, for "the
fine work he has done" in his
years of service.
Mrs. Edward F. Kirkpatrick,
education chairman of the
association, said Georgetown
residents should have been
consulted about Mr.. Eudell's
transfer.
when an able person like
Mr.. Eudell becomes an integral

said.
She said Mr.. Eudell, 40, had
been extremely able in bring
ing residents out to the play
ground and arranging pro-

Mr.. Eudell, who first learned
of his transfer to the Turkey

returned from his honeymoon

son given was his length Of

George Todd, former assist

promotion, was named to fill
Mr.. Eudell's post.

satisfied with Mr.. Eudell's serv-
ice and wanted to keep him in

T am glad to come again to
Abilene. Whenever I return
here, I invariably sense, in
these surroundings. an atmos-
phere of simplicity and peace.
This is not because Abilene is
any less involved in the turbu-
lent affairs of our interdepend-
ent world than are all the other
places my duties take me.
Rather, 1t is because each
Homecoming causes my mind

We did not then know the
term world tension; life was
peaceful, serene, happy!
1t was here that my parents
spent most Of their lives and
my brothers and I grew to
adulthood. The years of our
youth preceded the exacting
interdependence of the world
as we know it today.
Clarifying an Idea
Even more than the memory
Of those tranquil years, it was
the abiding truths we learned
lat home that prompted my
brothers and me some years age
to give our parents home a
foundation, organized initially
by citizens of this town. Later
as you know. the foundation
brought into being the beauti-
full museum we see across the
street. Their action and ours
were taken not with an inten-
ton of clarifying a name, but
an idea-an idea that visits by
individuals to this simple home
and this museum might serve
to remind us all of some Of the
concepts that underly the
American way.
Our parents, like most Amer.
lean parents of that period
were concerned primarily with
the cardinal features of theil
religious philosophy - beliefs
which shaped their own lives
and their guidance of theil
children. Love of God, fairnes:

the worlds people would be
forbidden to talk with you-a
political problem.
Obviously, a program for
peaceful progress calls for in
telligent economic, educational,
and political cooperation:
Economic cooperation which
promises that peoples every
where may, by concerted effort,
conquer hunger and disease,
and lift their levels Of living;
educational cooperation to de-

which continuously arise in an

a better life.
Now, any reasonable person
will recognize that no one ma
ton, even with the legendary
strength of an Atlas, could
leng support the world on its
shoulders.
Each nation will progress
only if it's own people and
leaders recognize that the
major responsibility for i'm
provement is theirs. Even if
every other nation were as
generous as the United States
has been in recent years, this
would still be so.
But this does not imply that
we or any other fortunate peo-
pie may be Indifferent to the
welfare of others. We cannot

or international life-Yith the
long -obsolete picture Of the
factory owner living on a hill

splendor, wholly indifferent to

tudes in the plains below.
Clearly one objective of
American foreign policy is and
must be to help build a world
economy in which each nation
finds it possible to earn its own
keep and pay its own way, and
do so in a manner which brings
meaning and fulfillment to the
lives of its citizens. Such a pol

ence. individual freedom, and
responsible government.
These increasingly numerous
peoples of tomorrow's world will
multiply those wants-and they
will have at their disposal both
more constructive and more de-
structive capacity than the
world has known before.
How do you believe this ca
pacity will be used? What de-
cisions will you make in this
regard?
Soldering Questions
These are SOLDERING questions.
They deserve our most earnest
consideration.
For If the growing power of
free men is wisely and skillfully
applied toward the common as
pirations of humanity, then a
world of peace and plenty be-
comes a high probability. But if
power is used recklessly, or is
employed in the pursuit of false,
selfish goals, then civilization
will risk its own destruction.
But we need not despair.
We who have faith in God,
and in the ability of men to
mold and shape history, know
that mans destiny is to live
not just to exist, but to live
nobly. You of faith know that
mans constructive desire to
create and build can triumph
over any compulsion to destroy.
You know that the free ma
tons of the world have the
capacity and can develop the
will to overcome together the
powerful, perplexing forces
which for thousands of years
have yielded hate, distrust,
poverty.
Humanity's upward climb
involves complex economic,
educational, and political prob
lens, all of which cry for wis
dom as we seek solutions, as
we search for world under
standing.
I cite one homely example.

has been able to I'LL the de-
mands for places in graduate
profession schools in most
fields through its contract pro-
grams.
But, he added. unless means
can be found to greatly
strengthen existing programs
in certain fields, 1t may be
necessary to rely on the joint
ownership idea Incorporated in
the original board charter.
The SREB held its annual
meeting here today in connec-
ton of the 25th annual meet
ing of the Governors Confer
enee, of which it is an afiliate.
Since States cannot contract
with each other, the board was
created by the Southern Gov
ernors Conference after World
War II as an agency through
which States with good pro-
grams in certain fields of higher
education could make them
available through contract
agreements to students in other
States.
Originally. because Of the
SoHth's DEFICIENCIES in certain
fields, particularly medicine. 1t
was thought that it might be
well for various States to join
in establishment and operation
of needed new institutions. One
or two tentative steps in that
direction were taken, but no
joint project ever jelled.
Now, Mr.. Anderson reported,
once again it appears that such
joint ventures may become de-
sirable or necessary.
SIS Billion Needed
He said estimates indicate
that the South will have to
spend nearly $2.5 billion in the
next 10 years in capital outlay
alone to take care of enroll
ment increases in higher edu-
cational institutions.
And, he said, if the South is
to continue its industrial and
economic growth. it must have
a ready supply of professional
and technical personnel.
To I'LL that need, he reported,
existing schools in those areas
will have to be expanded and
facilities created in new areas.
AS an example, he said despite
the fact that every State in
the region except Delaware has
at least one medical school, the
South is still behind the nation.

Third Party Opposed

on any idea of a third-party
movement yesterday as the pre-

to exchanging views on prob
lens of mutual interest.
