give the President more weap'

Also, as far as religion is
concerned. I have seen COM
munism abroad. I see what it
does. Communism is the enemy
of all religion and we who do
believe in God must join to-
gether: we must not be divided
on this issue. The worst thing
that I think can happen in
this campaign would be for
it to be decided on religious
issues.
I obviously repudiate the
Klan. I repudiate anybody who
uses the religious issue. I will
not tolerate it. I have ordered
all my people to have nothing
to do with it, and I say this
again, to all who may be
listening: Remember, if you
believe in America, if you want
America to set the right ex-
ample to the world, that we
cannot have religious or racial
prejudice. We cannot have it
in our hearts but we certainly
cannot have it in a presidential

the chances that other powers
will begin to possess a nuclear
capacity.
There are indications because
of new inventions that 10, Is
or 20 nations will have a nu-
clear capacity-including Red
China-by the end of the pres
idential Office in 1864. This is
extremely serious. There have
been many wars in the history
of mankind, and to take a
chance now and not make
every effort that we could make
to provide for some control
over these weapons, I think,
would be a great mistake.
One of my diSagreements
with the present administra-
tion has been that ! don't feel
q real effort has been made on
this very sensitive subject. not
only Of nuclear control but also
of general disarmament.
Less than 100 people have
been working throughout the
entire Federal Government on
this subject and / believe it
has been reflected in our sue
cess and failures at Geneva.
Now we may not succeed. The
Soviet Union may not agree to
an inspection system. We may
not be able to get satisfactory
assurances.

dicated in October of last year
that he would even favor COM
pulsory arbitration as one
of the weapons the President
might have to stop a national
emergency strike.
I understand in his last
speech before the Steel Workers
Union that he changed that
position and indicated that he
felt that Government seizure
might be the best way to stop
a strike which cannot be set
tied by collective bargaining.
/ do not believe we should
have either compulsory arbitra-
ton or seizure. think the mo-
ment that you give to the
union on the one side and the
management on the other side
the escape hatch of eventually
going to government to get it
settled, that most of these great
strikes will end up by being
settled by government and that
will be, in the end, in my opin-
ion. wage control. 1t will mean
price control - all the things
that we do not want.
I do believe, however, that
we can give to the President of
the United States powers in
addition to what he presently
has in the fact finding area
which would enable him to be
more effective than we have
been in handling these strikes.
One last point I should make.
The record in handling them
has been very good during this
administration. We have had
less man-hours lost by strikes
in these last seven years than
we had in the previous seven
years by a great deal, and I
only want to say that however
good the record is 1t has got to
be better because In this criti-
cal period of the COS we have
got to move forward. All Ameri-
cans must move forward to-
gether and we have to get the
greatest cooperation possible
between labor and manage
ment.
We cannot afford stoppages

competition with the Soviet

Senator Kennedy-Number
one, in Indo- China, Mr.. Nixon

editors in the spring of 1854
about putting in. and I quote,
American boys into Indo- China.
The reason Indo-China was
preserved was as a result Of the
Geneva conference which par
titioned Indo-C China.
Number two. on the question
of the U-2 flights. I thought
the U-2 flight was made before
the conference was a mistake
in timing because of the
hazards involved If the sum-
nit conference had any hope
for success. I never criticized
the U-2 flights in general, how
ever.
I never suggested espionage
should stop. It still goes on,
I would assume, on both sides,
The Vice President on May
is, after the U-2 fight, in
dicated that the flights were
going on even though the ad-
miniStration and the President
had Cancelled the flight on
May IL.
Number 8, the Vice Presi-
dent suggests that we should
keep the Communists in doubt
about whether we would fight
on Quemoy and Matsu. That
is not the position he is TAX
ling. He is indicating that we
should fight for these islands
come what may, because they
are, in his words, in the area
of freedom.
He didn't take that position
on Tibet, he didn't take that
position in Budapest. he doesn't
take that position, that I have
seen so far, in Laos.
I merely say that the United
States should meet its COM
mitments to Formosa and the
Pescadores but, as Admiral
Yarnell has said, and he has
been supported by most military
men, these islands that we are
now talking about are not worth
the bones of a single American
soldier, and I know how diff
ficult it is to sustain troops
close to the shore under artil-
lery bombardment.
And I therefore think we
should make it clear-the dis
agreement between Mr.. Nixon
and myself-he is extending
the administrators commit
mentS.

Kennedy's Stand
On Arms Policy

Mr.. Cater-Senntor Ken
nedy, you, last tDeeE you said
before we hold another sum-
NIT conference that it iDGs
important that the United
States build its strength.
Modern UeGponS take quite a
long time to build, What
sort OF prolonged period did
did you enUiSage before there
can be a summit conference,
and do you think that there
can be any netO Initiatives on
the ground of nucleGr dis
armament, nucledr control or
Weapon control during this
period?
Senator Kennedy Il think
we should strengthen our con.
ventional forces, and we shoulc
attempt in January, February
and March of next year to in.
crease the airlift capacity o.
our conventional forces. Ther
I believe that we should move
full time on our missile pro
duction, particularly on Minute
Man and on Polaris. 1t may bt
a long period, but we must ge

the question of disarmament
particularly nuclear disarma'
ment, I must say that I fee
that another effort should bt
made by a new administration
in. January of 1861 to renew tht

to it in October. 1858.
have suggested that the
President should be given other
weapons to protect the nation
al interest in case of national
emergency strikes beyond the
injunction provision of the
Taft Hartley Act.
1 don't know what other
weapons the Vice President is
talking about. I am talking
about giving him four or five
tools-not only the fact-find-
ing committee that he now
has under the injunction pro-
visions, not only the injunc-
tion, but also the power Of the
fact-finding o m m isSion to
make recommendations, rec
concentrations which would not
be binding, but nevertheless
would have great force and
public opinion behind them.
One of the additional pow
ers that I would suggest would
be seizure. There might be
others-by the President, hav-
ing five powers, four or five
powers, and he only has very
limited powers today.
Neither the company nor the
union would be sure which
power would be used, and,
therefore, there would be a
greater incentive on both sides
to reach an agreement them
selves, without taking 1t to the
Government.
The difficulty now is that
the Presidents course is quite
limited. He can set up a fact
finding committee, the fact
finding committees are limited.
He can provide an injunction
if there is a national emergency
for 80 days. Then the strike
can go on. Then there are no
other powers or action that the
President can take unless he
went to the Congress. This is
a difficult and sensitive mat
ter, but to state my view pre-
cisely, the President should
have a variety of things he
could do.
He should leave the parties
in doubt as to which one he
should use, and, therefore. there
would be incentive, instead Of

Mr.. Won Fremd-Sendtor

Do you feel that you ope the

for so years: he has been Pres
ident of the United States. II

tion was certainly Of every
thing that he said that Quemoy
could better be defended.
There were too many infan-
trymen, not enough heavy
artillery, and certainly / don't
think there was any implication
in Secretary Dulles statement
that Quemoy and Matsu should
not be defended in the event
that they were attacked and
that attack was a preliminary
to an attack on Formosa.
Now, as far as President
Eisenhower is concerned. I have
often heard him discuss this
question, as / related a moment
ago the President has always
indicated that we must not
make the mistake in dealing
with a dictator of indicating
that we are going to make a
concession at the point Of a
gun. Whenever you do that
inevitably the dictator is en-
coursged to try it again. So
first it will be Quemoy and
Matsu. next it may be Formosa.
What do we do then?
My point is this: That once
you do this, follow this course
of action of indicating that
you are not going to defend a
particular area. the inevitable
result Is that it encourages a
man who is determined to con-
quer the world to press you
to the point of no return, and
that means war.
We went through this tragic
experience leading to World
War II. We learned our lesson
again in Korea. We must not
learn it again. That is why
I think the Senate was right,
including the majority of the
Democrats, a majority of the
Republicans when they re-
jected Senator Kennedy's posi-
ton in 1855. And, incidentally
Senator johnson was among
those who rejected that posi-
ton, voted with the 10 against
the IL.
The Senate was right be-
cause they knew the lesson Of
history and. may I say this
that I would trust that Sen
ator Kennedy would change
his position on this, change II
because as long as he as
major presidential candidate
continues to suggest that we
are going to turn over these
islands, he is only encouraging
the aggressors, the Chinese
Communists and the Sovie'
aggressors to press the United
States. to press us to the poin
where war would be inevitable
The road to war is always
paved with good intentions
and in this instance the gooC

Kennedy Reply

Senator Kennedy The
United States now has a treaty
which I voted for in the United
States Senate in 1855 to de-
fend Formosa and the PeSca-
dores Islands. The islands
which Mr.. Nixon is discussing
are five or four miles respec-
lively of the coast Of China.
Now, when Senator Green, the
chairman Of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee,
wrote to the President, he re-
ceived back on the second of
October. 1858. that neither you
not any other American need
feel the United States will be
involved in military hostilities
merely in the defense of Que
moy and Matsu. That is the
issue. I believe we must meet
our commitment to Formosa,
to support it in the Pescadores
Islands. That is the present
American position.
The treaty does not include
these two islands. Mr.. Nixon
suggests that the United
States should go to war if these
two islands are attacked. I sug-
gest that if FormoSa is at
tackled, or the Pescadores, OF
if there is any military action
in any area which indicates an
attack on FormoSa and the
Pescadores, then, of course, the
United States is at war to de-
fend its treaty.
I must say what Mr.. Nixon
wants to do is commit US, as
I understand him SO we can
be clear for disagreement, he
wants us to be committed to
the defense of these islands,
merely as a defense Of these
islands as free territory, not as
part of the defense of Formosa.
Admiral Yarnell, the COM
mander of the Asiatic Fleet,
has said that these islands are
not worth the bones of a single
American. The President of the
United States has indicated
they are not within the treaty
area, they were not within the
treaty area when the treaty
was passed in 1865. We have
attempted to persuade Chang
Kai Shek as late as January.
1859, to reduce the number Of
troops he has there. This is a
serious issue. And I think we
should understand completely
where we disagree.

I Just do want to say one

it would be completely ire
sponsible for a candidate for
the presidency or for a Presi-
dent to indicate the course of
action and the weapons he
would use in the event of such
an attack.
I will say this, in the event
that such an attempt occurred
and in the event the attack was
a prelude to an attack on
Formosa, which would be the
indication today because the
Chinese Communists say over
and over again that their
objective is not the offshore
islands, that they consider
them only stepping stones to
taking Formosa. In the event
that their attack then were a
prelude to an attack on For
mosa, there isn't any question
but that the United States

case of Berlin, honor our treaty
obligations and stand by our

of the response would be in

inappropriate, it would not be
in the best interest of the
