Oppose Recognition
OF Red China

What our Republican admin
istration has done in these
eight years is, with initiative
and imagination, to stop the
process of retreat before the
Frankenstein monster that its
predecessors did so much to
build up.
We have resolutely opposed
anything anywhere that would
make Com unist regimes
stronger.
That is why, for example, we
have opposed and must oppose
official recognition of Commu-
mist China or its admission into
the United Nations, unless or
until it will give up in a de-
pendable way its aggressive acts
and threats against other coun-
tries; that is, give up commu-
niSm! Recognition and admis-
sion would needlessly present it
with smashing victories. Does it
make sense to build UP an
avowed enemy?

China the tremendous boost of
official recognition does not

Powerful Enemy
Threatens Nation

Overshadowing everything
else as we meet is the hard
fact that a powerful enemy
threatens us on every front.
1t is the most dangerous as
sault upon us in our history,
in part because it is so differ
ent from any previous threat.
And without victory in this
struggle. there will be no sur
vival of freedom for any of us
Democrats or Republicans.
The Republican Party was
born in a time of crisis. 1t was
brought into being by the
strong free spirits of a century
ago, to deal with the gravest
issue Of the 18th century-hu-
man slavery.
In 1860 in this city the Re
publican Party nominated as
its candidate for the Presidency
of the United States a man
who had risen from the hum
blest beginnings to become a
leader in the effort to end hu-
man slavery without destroying
the Union.
He led the party to victory,
the Nation to salvation, and
the people to a rededication to
the sound principles on which
the country had been founded
and had grown great.
We want tonight, both to
honor Abraham Lincoln and to
learn from him.

well with our divided world as
he did with his divided Nation

Human Slavery
Is World Issue

For the gravest issue of our
century is also human slavery
this time not men enslaved
by other men; but, far more
complex and dangerous, masses
Of men enslaved by govern
ments.
More human beings are in
bondage tonight than ever be-
fore in human history. Nine
hundred million abroad are de-
MED by their government the
right to worship, to speak, to
assemble, to join, to own; the
right of a man to choose or to
change his work and to live his
own life with his family and
friends-in freedom.
In this total situation, the
Republican Party stands today
as it has from the beginning

Cites Domestic
Accomplishments

Now let us take a look at our
record on the domestic front.
Undeniably this has been
overall the best seven-year
period in the history of the
United States.
What did we say in 1852 that
we would do? First, we said we
would be a middle-of-the-road
government. We believe that
middle of -the-road government
is, in the long run, the best
kind of government for every
one. For when anybody or any
group. whether at one extreme
or the other, gets all it wants,
it is at the expense of the peo-
pie as a whole.
We promised we would clean
out the corruption that was a
scandal under the previous ad-
ministration and led to more
than 20 convictions of high Of

mean-as has been asserted
by people who ought to know
better-that this administra-
ton has been hiding its head
in the sand, or pretending Red
China does not exist, or trying
to ignore 600 million Chinese.
The exact reverse is the truth.
This administration is acutely
aware of Red China's existence
and the threat it constitutes
to freedom, not only in Asia,
but everywhere. 1t was not this
administration which INDUCED
in the illusion that Communists
in China are democratic agra
rian reformers!
We are not ignoring Red
China. We have been nego-
tiating with its official repre-
sentatives for five years. The
99th such negotiation, unfor-
tunately still fruitless, took
place just last week.

Can our Nations prestige be
raised by tearing it down?
1t is. devoutly to be hoped
because it is our best chance of
avoiding war-that Mr.. Khru-
shchev, in making up his mind
about our actual military, eco
nomic and moral strength, will
depend a lot more on the re-
ports of his own agents than
on the misstatements made in
the heat of the Los Angeles
convention.
1t was claimed that this ad-
ministration has not taken the
initiative in the cold war, that
we have allowed things to drift.
Yet the. orators condemn the
Republican administration for
brilliant examples of success
full initiative. For example, the
U-2 flights. If we had not de-
veloped U-2 and had not been
using it to keep up to date on
military preparations within
the Soviet Union, we could
properly have been charged
with inviting another Pearl
Harbor. The fact that our U-2
operations were so outstand-
ingly successful for four years
should be a source of intense
pride to all Americans. The
U-2s were not provoking war,
they were helping to prevent

KremIin Feared
Eisenhower Visit

Why did the Communists
have to cancel President Eli
senhower's visit to Russia and
resort to su ch violent meas
ures in Japan to prevent his
visit there? Not because of
the ineffectiveness Of the
Presidents visits abroad, but
because of their demonstrated
effectiveness. The Red leaders
saw the vast difference between
Eisenhower's reception in In
dia, for example, and the re-
ceptions given Khrushchev and
Chou En-lai. They didn't dare
let Ike chalk up another tre-
mondous triumph with mil
lions of people in mother Rus
sia itself, and in a key country
like Japan.
1t has been charged that no
previous Presidents or Vice
Presidents ever suffered such
insults abroad-as if somehow
that is their fault. There are
two inescapable answers. One
is that as long as two previous
American Presidents were will
ing to give in to Soviet leaders,
they got along famously with
them. Why should the Com

Points to Peace
With Honor Since 81

Let us deal first with our in
ternational relations.
We said in 1852 we believed
we could get and maintain
peace with honor. We have
done it.
We brought to an end the
fighting in the Korean war
which the Truman adminiStra-
ton would not win and could
not stop.
1t did not make sense to con-
tinue to enlist American youth
and eXhort them to fight well
in the noblest tradition of
Americas greatest heroes-but
not to fight too well because
then they might win, and that
might provoke the enemy. They
should give all they had, their
lives-and over $4,000 did-but
they must not win! 1t was the
first war ever fought-so far as
I am aware-in terms of trying
to please the enemy! To con-
tinue the war was madness.
Then President Eisenhower
took charge. It took time and
patience and skill, but within
nine months. the fighting was
brought to a cloSe-without
dishonor, without sacrificing
the interests of any ally, or
weakenings our security posi-
ton in the Pacific. We Re-
publicans are proud Of that ac-
complishment.
In addition, this administra-
tion has prevented a half dozen
other threats from developing
into war-Trieste, the Mossa-
degh uprising in Iran, Guate-
mala, Formosa, Suez, Lebanon,
Quemoy, West Berlin.
How was it done? Not by
sacrificing our principles in Sc
cret deals under the table, but
by steady, patient firmness and
strength in support of friends
and allies; and, second, whole
hearted support of the United
Nations.
In short, our efforts every
where have been to help build
free nations up; the efforts of
the Communists everywhere
are to pull free governments
down.

Defends President
On Paris Farley

1t has been suggested that
the President should have done
something different or better
about Mr.. Khrushchev's break
up of the Paris conference. Will
they please tell you what they
think the American people
wanted their President to do?
Apologize. and hand over West
Berlin? Blow up and start a
war? OF course not!
The facts are that it has been
the President, himself, and
Secretaries of State Dulles and
Herter who on innumerable oc-
casions have warned the Ameri-
can people against optimism
regarding any conference with
Communists at the summit in
the absence Of any evidence of
change in the objectives and
methods.
Just as Prime Minister Mac
milan said q year ago that he
thought he ought to go to
Moscow to find out If possible
just what the Soviets had in
mind, so the President invited
Mr.. Khrushchev to this coun-
try, and agreed to go to the
Soviet Union; and the Big
Three agreed to meet with
Khrushchev in Paris-all in
the hope of finding ways to get
a settlement that might end
the cold war without betrayal
of our principles, our commit
mentS, or our allies.
At the Paris conference,
everybody hoped that the mir
acle might take place and Mr..
Khrushchev would abandon his
avowed purpose to bury us
one way or another. But there
was no miracle. Mr.. Khrush-
chev killed the hope,

Evidence That Red
Strategy Had Failed

But his ruthless torpedoing
of the Paris meeting was evil
dence Of the failure Of his
foreign policy, not ours. His
strategy for at least two years
had been the old one Of trying
to conquer the West by dividing
it. He tried his best to set our
allies against each other and
against us. He came to our
country and talked about peace
and friendship, trying to whit
tie down our resolution and
soothe us into relaxed slumber.
He did not succeed.
When Mr.. Khushchev knew
before the Paris conference
convened that he had failed
to divide, deceive or soften up
the free powers. He had no
choice but to break the con-
ference up. Otherwise, he would
either have had to back down
on West Berlin, or actually
start a war. Either would have
been fatal to him. His scuttling
Of the Paris conference and
mis- violent efforts to pin the
blame on us were proof posi-
tive, not of our weakness, but
OF our strength.
With the bald deception of
Khrushchev's peace offensive
exposed at Paris by himself,
he had to change his tactics
and make a third effort to
divide and conquer. He is now
moving heaven and earth to
achieve by subversion among
the weaker and more vulner-
able nations of the free world
coalition what he could not
achieve by division of the
stronger powers. He is trying
to upset free governments, one
by one, by ordering into action
the apparatus the Communists
have been Systematically build
ing and training in all other
countries for decades, for the
very purpose now revealed in
Japan and Cuba.

AS we meet tonight in this
Republican National Conven-
ton of 1860 I do not believe
you want me to indulge in the
traditional keynote speech,
blaming the other party for
everything that is bad, taking
credit to ourselves for every
thing that is good, and promis-
ing that if you voters will just
elect us to Office this fall, we
will solve every problem, in
crease every benefit, expand
every existing program, start
a whole flock Of new ones, give
everyone everything he wants
and reduce the national debt
at the same time.
The times in which we meet
are too serious for that.
The problems we face are too
disturbing;
Our country's safety-your
safety and mine - are too
gravely endangered.
What the American people
want to know as they watch us
tonight is: Which party has the
greatest capacity to keep this
country safe and sound?
Which party is the most alert
to and best understands the
powerful forces against us,
abroad and at home?
Which party best understands
the forces for us, abroad and
at home?
Which party has the ablest,
the most experienced, the best
qualified and the finest men to
lead our country through the
pertlouS months and years
ahead?
We do not pretend that our
party is alway right and the
Democratic Party is alway
wrong.

Differ on Methods,
Not on Goals

We know. as do you who are
listening, that both Democrats
and Republicans want q strong,
free and prosperous America
in a peaceful and secure world.
The difference between the two
parties is not over those objec-
tives, but over the best way to
achieve those good objectives-
and keep them.
Some Democrats have reg
ularly tried to make it appear
that Republicans are opposed
to various good endS-such as
security for old age, adequate
medical care, better education,
better housing, protection of
the rights of labor, aid to
agriculture-just because we
do not agree with the solutions
they advocate, believing they are
not the right way to get what
we all want. But 1t is not be-
cause we are against the good
ends; it is precisely because we
are for them that we oppose
measures we believe are un-
sound.
1t is the obligation Of the
Republican Party and its mem
bers to show that loose fiscal
policies, while temporarily graf
flying. in the end inhibit
growth rather than expand it.
Sometimes we are told that
to win elections, we Republic
cans should make countless
promises, like those the opposi-
ton party made at its conven-
ton. Maybe that is a way to
win elections; but we repudi-
ate it, first because it would
not be shooting square with
you, the voters; and second,
it would not succeed. For
there is no chance of our out
promising the Democrats,

to do things for themselves.
Deeply concerned with the
increasing complexity of the
problems of senior citizens,
this administration has eStab-
lished a staff for research into
their problems and how to use
their valuable experience and
talents. 1t has called the first
White House conference on the
aging in our Nations history
for next January.
Bold and dramatic steps have
been taken to expand medical
research in cancer, heart di-
sease, mental illnesses, and
other crippling and killing mall
aides.
Aid to Needy Increased
In the seven years prior to
1883, surplus agricultural prod
ucts distributed in the school
lunch program and to needy
persons. institutions, schools
and Indian reservations totalled
1858 million worth. In the sew
en- years since 1858 the total
distributed is $3.50 million
worth = 31a times as much.
Anything wrong with that rec
ord? This is help to those who
need it.
In short, we have moved
vigorously whenever and where
ever action by the Federal gov
ernment is the proper and best
way to deal with any problem
affecting public safety and the
peoples welfare.
When before did any gov
ernment ever take less from
the people in taxes and give
them more in return?
How was it done? Not by
Government orders, edicts or
controls; and not by Govern
ment handouts.
1t was done not by changing
our principles Of freedom of
enterprise. but by sticking to
them.
1t was done by good Republi-
can management of the Gov
ernment, not management OF
the people.

Cites Defensive
Strength of u. S.

1t does not avail, however,
to be firm in support Of princi-
Piles unless we have the
strength to back it up. This
administration has built up
gigantic strength in our own
armed forces and given vital
assistance in building up the
strength of other nations
standing with us against the
common threat. Ours is a bal
anced power, not all our eggs
in one basket, whether it be a
bomber basket, missile, sub
marine, or any other basket.
President Eisenhower will
perhaps have something to say
on this subject tomorrow night.
I hope the armchair experts
who have thought they knew
more about our armed strength
than he and our Joint Chiefs
Of Staff will listen in, too.
But I am compelled to take
notice of certain charges made
by the opposition party.
1t is claimed that this admin
istration allowed a missile gap
to develop. Not found a mis-
sile gap and has managed to
get it almost closed.
When President Eisenhower
took office in 1853 the preceding
administration had actually re-
tarded work in this field, even
though it knew that the Soviet
Union was making tremendous
efforts. The Truman admins
tration in eight years had put
II times more into price sup
ports for peanuts than for long
range missiles.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton is today putting 40 times
more into such missiles each
month than the previous ad-
ministration did in eight years
1t took the Soviet Union IL
years to develop its long-range
missiles. 1t took this admins
tration six years to get ours op-
irrational. Anything wrong with
that?
Senator Kennedy was report
ed by the press to have said on
February 81 of this year, 1--WE
have the greatest deterrent
force in history, and thank God
for that" He was right!
But it is not enough to have
such vast overall power. Our
primary desire in building such
striking force is not to fight a
war, but to deter one.
1t is not just the strength
that we have, it is the strength
which our enemies, our allie,
and our own people know that
we have, which is our hope oi
deterring war.

most for themSelves-and then

whatever reason, cannot pro-
vide the basic necessities for

I think we can state 1t as a
law, that whenever a govern.
ment does for its citizens that
which they have the capacity.
to do for themselves, individ-
ually and in groups. it begins
to destroy both their capacity
and their incentive to do for
