freedom.
With these stirring declarations
the best trained and most exper-
fenced candidate ever to stand for
the Presidency, Richard NJ. Nixon,
accepted the 1860 Republican nom
ination. President Eisenhower has
declared: There is no man in the
history of America who has had
such a careful preparation as his
Vice President Nixon for carrying
out the duties of the Presidency"
Dick Nixon, as chairman of the
cabinets committee on price stab
ility and economic growth, under
stands that a sound fiscal policy
is a dynamic policy. Today after
7l2 years of such policy more
Americans than ever before are
working at better jobs, for the
best pay, with the least initiation,
and most security of our time.
AS Vice President, sharing the
decisions of the Eisenhower Nixon
administration, he has frequently
presided over the cabinet and ma
tional security council. AS Chair
man of the Presidents Committee
on Government contracts he has
played a key role in the drive of
this administration to secure rec
ognition of equal rights for all;
regardless of race, color, or creed.
Henry Cabot Lodge is we'll
known to the public because of his
service as United States Ambassa-
dor to the United Nations since
1858. Also, as a representative to
the Security Council, he has help
ed make major decisions on foreign
policy. When necessary Lodge has
used the vocal stiletto to puncture
Communist vtuperatives. thereby
winning the respect of all Amer
leans regardless of political creed.
Ably supported by his wife, Emily,
he has made respected friends of
other nations of the world.
We can have confidence that
Lodge, as next Vice President, will
ably execute his assignments to
coordinate all foreign programs.
Dick Nixon, in giving him this
special assignment, will expand
the already expanded duties of the
Vice President under President
Eisenhower.
The Platform, adopted at the
1860 Convention, is referred to as
a Master Plan for a better Amer
lea. 1t states that the leadership
OF the United States must be re-
sponsible and mature. It's purposes
must ascend to that high ground
of right and freedom upon which
mankind may dwell in progress
and decent security. 1t reaffirms
our determination to defend our
country, to honor our alliances, and
never submit to force or threats.
Our military might must con-
tinue to deter aggression as there
is no price ceiling on American
Security. The main spring of econ
omic growth lies in the private
sector of the economy, not in new
federal spending, and artificial
pump printing and loose money
policies. To foster growth we favor
tax reform and the use of Govern
ments full powers against depres-
sion and initiation.
Industrial harmony can best be
achieved with free collective bar
gaining and minimum of govern
ment Intervention. We support the
right to make union shop agree
ments, the right of members to full
participation of union affairs, and
their freedom from racketeering.
Each person possesses the right to
education with primary respon-
sibility at the local and state level.
We pledge federal aid for school
construction on the basis of need,
college housing assistance, extern
sion of student loan and graduate
fellowship program, strengthened
vocational education and support !
for libraries for all. We are for
local supervision of schools as
against supervision from Washing
ton. We pledge expanded social
security coverage, support OF pro-
grams to utilize the skills of older |
people, a program for the aged
needing it to protect against the
