munists insult them as long as
they were getting what they
wanted?
Naturally Khrushchev would
prefer not to negotiate with a
Republican President who he
has learned will not be taken
in or intimidated or tricked
into any concessions, no mat
ter how innocent looking, that
would weaken the free world.
The second answer is that no
previous President has faced q
Communist conspiracy that was
strong and arrogant enough to
take such action as Mr.. Khru-
Shchev took.
And how did the Commu-
mist conspiracy get so strong
and arrogant? That cannot be
laid at the door of Republicans.
Look again at the record.
I would rather not go over
the mistakes Of the past;
there's more than enough to
be charged with inability to
deal with the forces Of aggres-
sion which those who make the
charges helped to build up, then
we owe it to the truth to set
the record straight.
The trouble we are in with
the Communists is exactly the
trouble that Republica n S
warned for years before 1852
would develop if we followed
the course that was followed.
1t wasn't Republicans who
recognezed the Soviet Union in
1888 and gave it acceptance
into our country and world So
ciety as If it were a respectable
and dependable member
thereof.
1t wasn't Republicans who,
at Teheran. against the urgent
advice Of Mr.. Churchill, agreed
to give the Russians a free hand
in the Balkans.
1t wasn't Republicans who
secretly divided Poland and
gave half Of it to the Soviet
Union.
1t wasn't Republicans who
agreed to the Communist take
over Of a hundred million peo-
pie in Eastern Europe who are
not Russian.
1t wasn't a Republican ad-
minstration which at PotSdam
gave the Soviet Union East
Germany and left West Berlin
cut off from the rest Of the
free world.
It wasn't a Republican ad-
miniStration that publicly
promised that Manchuria would
go back to its rightful owners,
the Chinese. and then secretly
at Yalta gave control Of Man
churia to the Russians.
1t wasn't a Republican ad-
ministration that divided Korea
and gave control Of North
Korea to the Communists.
1t wasn't a Republican ad-
miniStration that gave to the
Soviet Union the Kurile Islands
which had never been any,
body's except Japan's, thereby
endangering both Japan's and
our own security in the North
Pacific
1t wasn't a Republican ad-
ministration that rightly put
its hand to the plow in Korea,
but then when victory was in
sight turned back, allowing the
Reds to recover so they can
make still more trouble in the
future.
1t wasn't a Republican ad-
ministration that fell for the
Communist offer of truce in
Korea without requiring that
the North Korean aggressors
lay down their arms and the
Chinese Communists get out of
Korea where they had no busi-
ness to be.
In summary, it wasn't under
Republicans that 600 million
people disappeared behind the
Iron Curtain in the first five
years after World War II.
In fact, the record will show
that Republicans opposed these
steps every time they were
taken.

World Civil War
Tests Our System

6ADl dlldh hIIlCO4I1 dI CeIIyS-
burg said, Nov we are engaged
in a great civil war, testing"
testing, among other things,
whether government Of the
people and by the people and,
therefore, for the people can
long endure.
Lincoln and the Republican
Party led our country through
the crisis of 100 years ago. Now
we are engaged in a greater
conflict-the whole planet Is
in the throes Of the mightiest
conflict in all history. 1t Is a
world civil war. What is it
about? 1t Is about exactly the
same things as then: Is gov
ernment of the people, by the
people, and therefore for the
people to perish, literally, from
the earth?
During the fiery trial Of Lin
coins day he warned solemnly
that this Nation could not ex-
ist half-slave, half-free. The
Republican Party succeeded in
restoring unity and freedom to
the Nation.
Can this whole wide world Of
our day go on indefinitely half
slave, half-free? Deep down in
our hearts, we know the an
swer is no.
The reason why it has not
proved possible to get any real
agreement with the Commu-
mist world all these years is be-
cause the Communists are not
pursuing the same objectives
as we are pursuing. And why
are they not pursuing the same
objectives? Because they do not
believe the same things we be-
lieve - about man, about the
universe, about God.
If we in America Of what
ever political opinion at the
moment. are to prove worthy of
this most terrible testing in our
Nations life, we too must re-
solve with Lincoln, That.
under God, this Nation shall
have a new birth of freedom"
1t was under God that our
freedom was born. Only under
God can there be a rebirth.
Lincoln's View Of Past !
What then is our role to be-?
Listen again to Lincoln in his
message to the Congress in
1862, THE dogmas Of the quiet
past are inadequate to the
stormy present. The occasion
is piled high with difficulty, and
we must rise with the occasion.
AS our case is new, so we must
think anew, and act anew. We
must disenthrall ourselves, and
then we shall save our country" Z"
There it is.
Under God, a new birth Of
freedom;
A new and deeper under
standing Of it;
A new and deeper dedication
to it.
With such a rebirth within
you and me, and within our be-
loved party, we shall deserve TO
be entrusted by the people with
the awful responsibilities Of
governing this great land. And
they will turn to us and the
will be saved.
And now let US get to workI

Basic Principles
Of Freedom

Obviously I cannot try here
to outline our detailed pro-
poSals for the years ahead. I
have not mentioned vitally i'm
portant areas like education,
health, agriculture, conserva-
tion, taxation, and a dozen
other issues which would re-
quire almost a separate speech
each. They will be covered be-
fore this convention is over.
But there are some basic
principles, tested principles of
freedom - which we believe
it is necessary for us to under
stand and follow, If we are to
meet successfully the challenges
OF the future.
Differ Over Method
Many Americans have come
to think that our two major
parties are, after all, Just about
the same. But it is not so. The
main difference between them,
as I said in the beginning, is
not over good ends. The dif-
ference, and it is q profound
one, is over means. Which are
the right ways to get the good
ends?
We Republicans deeply be-
lieve that the first function of
our government is to protect
the liberty Of the individual
citizen, not to take 1t away.
There have never been but
two basic PHILOSOPHERS Of gov
ernment-government from the
bottom up, and government
from the top down. Our fathers
believed and so do we Repub-
licans, that most problems can
best solved by the people them
selves.
One philosophy puts its pri-
mary faith in Government Of
flcials. The other puts It's pri-
mary faith in the good sense
and the capabilities of our
people.
Against More Central Rule
One group begins with the
assumption that the more COM
plex and complicated a society
becomes, the more it's control
and management must be CEN
tralized in an increasingly
powerful government.
We Republicans begin with
the same premises and come
to exactly the opposite con-
cluSion; namely, that the more
complex and complicated a So
city. the more impossible it is
for any centrally located group
Of men-no matter how able
or devoted or sincere-even to
grasp all the details Of the COM
plicated problems, to say moth
ing Of handling those details
from Washington.
We are not against adequate
Federal Government. There
must be such government to
prevent abuses Of power. We
merely want to keep it limited
to its proper fields, so that the
liberty of individuals will be
protected. The Republican
Party stands for liberty.
Wilson's Principle
In the Democratic convention
you heard a lot about Wood
row Wilson. What did he, a
real student Of government,
think on this issue? In a speech
in New York in 1912 he said.
Liberty has never come from
the government. Liberty has
always come from the subjects
OF the government. The history
Of liberty is a history of re-
sistance. The history Of liberty
is a history Of the limitation of
governmental power, not the
increase Of It,"
Nobody has said 1t better
than that. Yet we now see
those who claim to be the fol-
lowers of Wilson insisting that
the way to expand liberty is
to increase the powers of gov
ernment.

Evening star., 1960-07-26
Must Develop
Victory Strategy

surely IL is now plain 10 all
that since the Communist
world conspiracy remains the
same, and since we don't in
tend to surrender, and since
nobody wants a hot war, there
is only one alternative left. We
must win this cold war. To do
this we must have leaders who
understand this enemy and its
tactics, and will mobilize all
our resources for the struggle.
We must use more effectively
our strongest weapons, the
values and virtues of a system
of Government which has
given freedom and dignity and
better living standards to hu-
man beings than any other
system ever has. How many of
us understand our own system
well enough to sell it to others
with contagious enthusiasm, as
the Communists are so well
trained to sell theirs?
Freedom Force Vital
We must let loose in the
world the dynamic forces OF
freedom in our days as our
forefathers did in theirs,
causing people everywhere to
look toward the American
dream.
Men have always found ways
to bring down tyrants in the
past; men will find ways to
bring down today'S tyrants, il
only we don't build up the
tyrants! In short, we have a
good strategy for holding. But
we cannot hope to win in the
end just by holding. We must
develop a strategy for victory
A new chapter has now been
opened by Khrushchev. The
Soviet Union stands naked
before the world today. self
exposed, its detectives and its
unchanging methods Of de-
ception and trickery revealed
by its own acts.
New Approach Needed
It is going to require stronger
approaches, different strategies,
new tactics by someone who
has proved he understands
communism.
America has the brains, she
has the wealth, she has the
weapons. Who can best galva-
nize into rocklike f1rmness her
will?
I am confident that the
nearer our people come to elec-
ton day next November, the
more they will become con-
vinced that the course of wis
dom and Sureness is to con-
tinue to entrust the destiny of
our Nation to steady. compe-
tent, experienced. principled
Republican hands.
The man who will be nomi-
mated in this convention as our
candidate will be incomparably
the best qualified to deal with
the relentless cold war which
we have tried our best to avoid,
but which we now have no
choice except to win.
1t has been said by Mr.. Ken
nedy that the most important
issue in this campaign is for
eign policy. We agree and well
come the test.

pleasure painting, we might
understand why 10 million
American adults take in
struction in the arts.
This intense. self reward
ing activity tells us some
thing about man impelled to
be lmage-maker, at what
ever level of excellence. 1t
may be rarely said but this
urge to imagery is as human
and as universal as the urge
to music, the urge to make
it. the need to experience it.
With the new leisure of
our society, millions of us
have found the chance to let
this urge assert itself. These
pleasure painters and sculp-
tors and ceramists are not
blindly, seeking a way to
keep occupied. Not in this
TV age.
They have. at last, be-
come aware of a long-sup-
pressed faculty which exists
in all of us. They seek, not
status, but a satisfaction
which, 10000 years ago made
even a bone dart incomplete
to the eye of man without
an adornment of pattern.
The adornment did not make
the dart more efficient in the
Ice Age.
1t did satisfy an early
hunger of mans spirit. 1t is
with us still.

the reason for the increasing

No change of status awaits
the dogged efforts of 10 mil

Why?
Possibly, because our lei
sure society. with its 4O-hour-

productivity of man and
woman, cannot and does not
satisfy many of us, status or
no status.
Creative Urge
And possibly, also, because
the generality of mankind is
irresistibly impelled to create
and to commune with be-
lievable images. .
This was true for the men
in the caves of the earliest
cultures. When only a few
were found who could pro-

Star Record Critic

Who will be the Horowitz,
Serkin and Rubinstein Of the
rising pianistic generation?
1t is a bit early to tell yet,
but the candidates are busy
putting forward their claims,
both in concert halls and in
a steady stream of recordings.
Access to the recording STU
dio is an advantage which to-
days aspiring virtuoSos have
over those of the past. In an
earlier day a man rarely was
invited to inscribe his inter-
pretive ideas for posterity un-
til after he had reached the
top.
OF course. there is also a
liability attached to the hos
pitality of recording directors,
for once a performance is on
plastic there it stays. Doubt
less there are times when the
would-be RubinStein wishes it
wouldn't. But on the whole,
the results are probably bene-
fetal all around.
Disc Evidence
This conclusion is bolstered
by the current crop of piano
discs. Not only. generally
speaking, are they exception
ally we'll played. but they also
show enterprise. Today's
younger pianiSts are aware
that there is something
around besides the Tchaikov-
sky B fiat minor concerto to
exercise their talents.
An example is an Epic disc
by Leon FleiSher. 1t couples
Liszt's B minor sonata and
an E minor sonata by Weber,
with Weber's familiar Invi-
tation to the Dance as an
encore.
How often does one en-
counter LISTS sonata. let
alone the almost forgotten
one by Weber? The latter
may not be essential to a
music appreciation course,
but it makes highly interest
ing listening. LISTS work, of
course, is a masterpiece, and
Fleisher plays both with mu-
Sical comprehension and
technical flourish.
FleiSher is back on more
familiar ground on an Epic
issue coupling the Schumann
and Grieg concertos, with
George Sell and the Cleve-
land Orchestra as collabora-
tors. The performances have
eXpreSsiveness and poiSe, and
the sound is unusually in
gratiating. The Stereo review
disc arrived with ugly surface
blemiSheS, hoWever-Some-
thing hardly in keeping with
the surroundings.
Philippe Entremont, pre-
cociouS French pianist, can
be heard in able readings of
