Prosperity for All
In q Classics Society

Why do I cite these figures?
Not because they indicate that
the American people have more
automobiles, TV sets, or houses
than the people in the USSR.
In fairness, we must recog-
nize that our country indus
trialized sooner than the Soviet
Union. And Americans are
happy to note that Mr.. Khru-
shchev has set a goal for the
Soviet economy of catching up
In the production of consumer
goods.
We welcome this kind OF
competition because when we
engage in it, no one loses
everyone wins as the living
standards of people through
out the world are raised to
higher levels. 1t also should be
pointed out that while we may
be ahead of you as far as these
items are concerned, you are
ahead of us in other fields-for
example, in the size of the
rockets you have developed fol
the exploration of outer space
But what these statistics do
dramatically demonstrate is
this: That the United States
the worlds largest capitalist
country, has from the stand
point of distribution of wealth
come closest to the ideal of
prosperity for all in a classics
society.
AS our revered Abraham
Lincoln said We do not
propose any war upon capital:
we do wish to allow the hum
blest man an equal chance to
get rich with everybody else. "
The 81 million American
wage earners are not the
downtrodden masses depicted
by the critics of capitalism in
the latter part of the 10Th an6
early part of the Goth cen
turtles. They hold their head
high as they proudly enjoy the
highest standard of living o.
any people in the worlds his
tory.
The caricature of capitalism
as a predatory, monopolist
dominated society, is as hope.

United States is concerned, a!

I am honored on behalf o.
President Eisenhower to oper
this American exhibition ir
Moscow.
Mrs. Nixon and I were among
the many thousands of Ameri-
cans who were privileged to
visit the splendid Soviet exhi-
bition in New York, and we
want to take this opportunity
to congratulate the people Of
the USSR for the great achieve
mentS and progress so magnifl-
Gently portrayed by your ex-
hibition.
We, in turn, hope that many
thousands Of Soviet citizens will
take advantage Of this oppor-
tunity to learn about life in the
United States by visiting our
exhibition.
OF course, we both realize
that no exhibition can portray
q complete picture of all aspects
Of life in great nations like the
USSR and the United States.
Among the questions which
some might raise with regard
to our exhibition are these: To
what extent does this exhibit
ton accurately present life in
the United States as it really
is? Can only the wealthy people
afford the things exhibited
here? What about the inequali-
ty, the injustice, the other
weaknesses which are supposed
to be invitable in a capitalist
society?
AS Mr.. Khrushchev often
says: you can't leave a word
out Of q song" Consequently,
in the limited time I have. I
would like to try to answer
some Of these questions so that
you may get an accurate pic
ture of what America is really
like.

Figures Depict
Progress in U. S.

Let us start with some oil
the things in this exhibit. You
will see a house. a car, a tele-
vision set-each the newest
and most modern of its type
we produce. But can only the
rich in the United States af-
ford such things? If this were
the case, we would have to in
clude in our definition of rich
the millions of Americas wage
earnerS.
Let US take. for example, oul
16 million factory workers. The
average weekly wage of a fac
tory worker in America is $50. "a
With this income he can buy
and afford to own a house
a televiSion set, and car in the
price range of those you see ir
this exhibit. What is more, the
great majority of American
wage earners have done exact
ly that.
Putting it another way
there are A million families ir
the United States. Twenty-Five
million of these families live in
homes or apartments that have
as much or more floor space
than the one you see in this
exhibit. Thirty one million
families own their own homes
and the land on which they
are built. Americas A million
families own a total of Sc mil
lion cars, so million televisior
sets and 143 million radio sets
And they buy an average of 6
dresses and suits and IA pairs
Of shoes per family per year

We Don't Force
Our Way on Others

Time will not permit me to
tell you of all the features of
American life, but in summary
I think these conclusions can
effectively be stated.
The great majority Of Ameri-
cans like our system of gov
eminent. Much as we like it,
however, we would not impose
it on any one else. We believe
that people everywhere should
have a right to choose the form
of government they want.
There is another character
istic of the American people
which I know impresSes itself
on any visitor to our country
AS Mr.. Mikoyan and Mr.. Kozlov
both pointed out after their
visits to the United States, the
American people are a peace
loveing people. There are 9
number Of reasons for this at
! titude: AS this exhibition sc
eloquently demonstrates, We

Exhibits Are Samples
Of Peaceful Future

The Soviet exhibition in New
York and the American exhibit
ton which we open tonight are
dramatic examples of what a
great future lies in store for all
of us If we can devote the ire
mendous energies of our peoples
and the resources of our coun-
tries to the ways of peace,
rather than the ways of war.
The last half of the goth
century can be the darkest or
the brightest page in the his
tory of civilization. The deci-
sion is in our hands to make.
The genius of the men who
produced the magnificent
achievements reresented by
these two exhibitions can be
directed either to the destruc-
ton of civilization or to the
creation of the best life that
men have ever enjoyed on this
earth.
AS I have said on previous
occasions, let us expand the
idea of peaceful competition
which Mr.. Khrushchev has
often enunciated. Let us ex-
tend this competition to in
clude the spiritual as well as
the material aspects of our
civilization. Let us compete. not
in how to take lives, but in
how to save them. Let us work
for victory, not in war, but for
the victory of plenty over
poverty, of health over disease,
of understanding over ignor-
ance wherever they exist in
the world.
Above all, let us find more
and more areas where we can
substitute cooperation for
competition in achieving our
goal of a fuller, freezer, richer
life for every man. woman and
child on this earth.

Americans enjoy an extraordi-
nary high standard Of living,
There is nothing we want
from any other people except
the right to live in peace and
friendship with them.
After fighting two world
wars, we did not ask for or
receive an acre Of land from
any other people. We have no
desire to impose our rule on
other lands today.
Our hearts go out to Mr.
Khrushchev who lost a son, to
Mr.. Kozlov who lost two broth
ers, and to the millions of other
Soviet mothers and fathers
brothers and sisters, sons and
daughters who mourn for their
loved ones lost in defending
their homeland.

III. S. Government
Reflects People

But while it is generally
recognized that the American
people want peace. I realize
that it has sometimes beer
charged that our Government
does not share the attitude Of
our people. Nothing could be
further from the truth.
For seven years I have sal
in the high councils Of oul
Government, and I can tell you
that the primary aim Of oul
discussions has been to fine
ways that we could use oul
strength in behalf of peace
throughout the world.

Desire for Peace
Not Sign of Weakness

But dedication to peace, good
will and human brotherhood
should never be mistaken for
weakness, Softness and fear.
Much as we want peace, we
will fight to defend our coun-
try and our way of life, just as
20 uhave fought so courageous
ly to defend your homeland
throughout your history.
The peace we want and the
peace the world needs is not
the peace of surrender but the
peace Of justice, not peace by
ultimatum, but peace by nego-
tiation.
The leaders of our two great
nations have such tremendous
responsibilities if peace is to be
maintained in our time.
We cannot and should not
gloss over the fact that we have
some great and basic differences
between us. What we must
constantly strive to do is to see
that those differences are dis
cussed and settled at the con-
ference table and not on the
battlefield.
And until such settlements
are agreed to, our leaders must
exercise the greatest restraint,
patience and understanding in
their actions and their state
ments. They must do nothing
which might provoke a war nc
one wants.
The fact that one of us may
have a bigger bomb, a faster
plane, or a more powerful rocket
than the other at any particu-
lar time no longer adds up tt
advantage. Because we have
reached the point in world his
tory where the Biblical injunc.

Freedom Vital
To Progress

Material progress Is impor-
tant, but the very heart Of the
American ideal is that man
does not live by bread alone"
To us, progress, without free
dom, to use common express
sion, is like potatoes without
fat"
Let me give you some ex-
amples of what freedom means
to us.
President Eisenhower is one
of the most popular men ever
to hold that high Office in our
country. Yet never an hour or a
day goes by in which criticism
of him and his policies cannot
be read in our newspapers,
heard on our radio and tele-
vision, or in the halls Of Con-
gresS.
And he would not have it any
other way. The fact that our
people can and do say anything
they want about a Government
official, the fact that in our
elections, as this voting ma
chine in our exhibit illustrates.
every voter has a free choice
between those who hold public
Office and those who oppose
them makes ours a true peoples
Government.
We trust the people. We
constantly submit big decisions
to the people. Our history con-
vinces us that over the years
the people have been right
much more often than they
have been wrong.
AS an indication Of the ex-
tent of this freedom and Of
our faith in our own system,
40 hours of radio broadcasts
from the Soviet Union can be
heard without jamming in the
United States each day, and
over a million and-a-half cop
les of Soviet publications are
purchased in our country each
year.
Let us turn now to freedom
of religion. Under our Consti-
tuition, no church or religion
can be supported by the State.
An American can either wor-
ship in the church of his choice
or choose to go to no church at
all, If he wishes. Acting with
this complete freedom of
choice, 103 million of our citi-
zens are members of 100000
American churches.
We also cherish the freedom
to travel, both within our
country and outside the United
States. Within our country we
live and travel where we
please, without travel permits,
internal passports or police
registration. We also travel
freely abroad For example, II
million Americans will travel to
other countries during this
year, including 10000 to the
Soviet Union. We look forward
to the day when millions OF
Soviet citizens will travel to
ours and other countries in this
way.

u. S. Files Protest
On MIG Attack

The United States has fired
a strong protest at Red China
and North Korea over the June
16 attack by MIG jets on a
United States Navy patrol
plane.
The State Department termed
the incident attempted MUIR
der over the high seas"
The Government demanded
that the Communists act i'm
mediately to prevent further
attacks. 1t asked that those
unprovoked attack over the
Sea of Japan.
Since the United States does
not maintain diplomatic rela-
tions with either Communist
China or North Korea, the
protest was handled through
the United Nations armistice
machinery in Korea.

$l31.49 per month. The day
has passed in the United States
when the unemployed were left
to shift for themselves.
The same can be said for
the aged, the sick. and others
who are unable to earn enough
to provide an adequate stand
ard Of living. An expanded pro-
gram Of social security COM
bined with other Government
and private programs provides
aid and assistance for those
who are unable to care for
themselves. For example, the
average retired couple on social
security in the United States
receives an income Of SIG per
month apart from the addi-
tional amounts they receive
from private pensions and saw
ings accounts.
What about the strikes which
take place in our economy. the
latest example of which is the
steel strike which is going on?
The answer is that here we
have a flrst-hand example of
how a free economy works.
The workers right to join with
other workers in a union and
to bargain collectively with
management is recognized and
protected by law. No man or
woman in the United States
can be forced to work for wages
he considers to be inadequate
or under conditions he believes
are unsatisfactory.
Another problem which
causes us concern is that Of
racial discrimination in our
country. We are making great
progress in solving this prob
lem, but we shall never be
satisfied until we make the
American ideal of equality of
opportunity a reality for every
citizen, regardless Of his race.
creed or color.
We have other problems In
our society but we are confident
that for us our system of gov
eminent provides the best
means for solving them. But
the primary reason we believe
this is not because we have an
economy which builds more
than 100000 houses, produces
100000 cars and 100000
television sets per year.
