Senator Kennedy-Mr. Nixon
shows himself misinformed. He
surely must be aware that most
Of the equipment and arms
and resources for Castro came
from the United States. They
flowed out of Florida and other
parts Of the United States to
Castro IN the mountains. There
isn't any doubt about that,

Senator Kennedy@Mr. Howe,
Mr.. Vice President. First let
me again try to correct the
record on the matter Of Que
moy and Matsu. I voted fol
the Formosa resolution in 1855
I sustained 1t since then. ! said
that I agreed with the ad-
ministration policy. Mr.. Nixon
earlier indicated that he would
defend Quemoy and Matsu
even II the attack on these is
lands, 2 miles of the coast Sot
China, were not part Of the
general attack on Formosa and
the PescadoreS.
I indicated that I would de-
fend those islands If the attack
were directed against Pesca-
dores and Formosa, which L
part of the Eisenhower policy,
I have supported that policy
In the last week, as a member
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, I reread the testi-
mony Of Gen. Twining, repre-
senting the administration In
1859, and the Assistant Secre-
tary Of State before the For
eign Relations Committee in
1858, and I have accurately
described the administration
policy and I support 1t whole
hearedly. So that really isn't
an issue in this campaign. It
isn't an issue with Mr.. Nixon,
who now says that he also sup
ports the Eisenhower policy.
Nor is the question that all
Americans want peace and Sc
curity an issue in this cam
paign.
The question iS-are we NOV
ing in the direction of peace
and security? Is our relative
strength growing? Is, as Mr..
Nixon says, our prestige at an
all-time high, as he said q
week ago, and that Of the Com
munists at an all-time low? ]

Emerging Africa

Africa is now the emerging
area Of the world. It contains
IS per cent Of all the members
Of the General Assembly. We
didn't even have . Bureau Of
African Affairs until 1857.
In Africa south Of the Sa-
hara, which is the major new
section. we have less students
from all Of Africa In this area
studying under government
auspices today than from the
country Of Thailand. II there
is one thing Africa needs, 1t
is technical assistance. and yet
last year we gave them less
than 5 per cent Of all the TECH
nical assistance funds that we
distributed around the world.
We relied In the Middle East
on the Baghdad Pact, and yet
when the Iraq government
was changed. the Baghdad
Pact broke down.
We relied on the Eisenhower
Doctrine In the Middle East.
which passed the Senate. There
Is not one country in the Mid
die East that now indorses the
Eisenhower Doctrine. We
looked to Asia because the
struggle Is in the underdevel-
oped world. Which system,
communism or freedom, viii
triumph in the, next 5 or 10
years.
That is what should concern
us, not the history Of 10 or Is
or 20 years ago.
But are we DONG enough IN
these areas? What are free.
dom's chances in those areas
by 1865 and 1870? viii there
be other Cubas In Latin Amer
lea, which again vote with the
Communists? Are we doing
enough in that area? What
about Asia? Is India going to
win the economic struggle, or
is China going to win 1t? Who
will dominate Asia in the next
5 or 10 years - communism,
the Chinese, or will freedom?
The question which we have to
decide as Americans is-are we
doing enough today? Is our
strength and prestige risingP
Do people want to be identified
with us?

Economic Growth

In dditton to military
strength, we need to see thai
the economy Of this country
continues to grow. 1t has growr
in the past seven years. It car
and viii grow even more in the
next four and the reason thai
it must grow even more is be-
cause we have things to do al
home and also because we are
in q race for survival, Q race
in which it isn't enough to be
ahead. it isn't enough simply
to be complacent. We have tc
move ahead In order to stay
ahead.
And that is why In this field
I have made recommendation
which ! am confident will move
the American economy ahead,
move it firmly and soundly SC
that there will never be q time
when the Soviet Union will be
able to challenge our superior
ity in this field. And so we need
military strength, we need eco
nomic strength, we also need
the right diplomatic policies.
What are they? Again we
turn to the past. Firmness, but
no belligerence, and by no bel
ligerence I mean that we dc
not answer insult by insult
When you are proud and con-
f1dent Of your strength, you dc
not get down to the level oi
Mr.. Khrushchev and his col.
leagues. and that example
President Eisenhower has sci
and we viii continue to follow
But all this by itself is moi
enough. 1t is not enough for u
simply to be the strongest ma.
ton tnilitarily. the strongest
economically and also to have
firm diplomacy. We must have
q great goal, and that is moi
just to keep freedom for our
selves. but to extend it to ali
the world.
To extend it to all the world
because that is Americas des-
tiny, to extend it to all the
world because the Communists
aim is not to hold their own
but to extend communism. and
you cannot fight q victory fol
communism or q strategy oi
victory for communism with
the strategy simply Of holding
the line.
And so I say that our policy
Of military strength, of eco.
nomic strength, Of diplomatic
frmness first will keep thG
peace and keep it without sur
render. We also believe that ir
the great field Of ideals that we
can lead America to the victory
for freedom, victory in the new
developing countries. victory
also in the captive countries
provided we have faith in our.
selves and faith in our prin-
ciples.

Error in Korea

One Of the major errors they
made was the one that led To
the Korean War. In ruling out
the defense Of Korea, they in
vited aggression in that area.
They thought they were going
to have peace. It brought war.
We learned from their mis-
takes. and so in our 2 years we
find that we have been flrm
In our diplomacy, we have
never made concessions without
getting concessions in return.
We have always been willing
to 90 the extra mile to negoti-
ate for disarmament or in any
other area, but we have never
been willing to do anything
that in effect surrendered free
dom any place in the world.
That is why President Eisen-
hover was correct in not apollo
giving or expressing regrets to
Mr.. Khrushchev at the Paris
conference as Senator Ken
nedy suggested we should have
done.
~ That is why President Eisen-
hover was also correct in his
policy in the Formosa Straits
where he declined and refused
to follow the recommendations
Recommendation which Sen
ator Kennedy voted for in 1865,
again made in 1859, again re-
peated in his debates that you
have heard, recommendations
with regard to again slicing of
q piece Of free territory and
abandoning 1t, in effect, to the
Communists.
Why did the President feel
that 1t was wrong and why was
the President right and his
critics wrong? Because again
this showed a lack of under
standing Of dictators, a lack
Of understanding Of Commu-
nistS because every time you
make such Q concession it does
not lead to peace, it only en-
courages them to blackmail
you. It encourages them to
begin a war.
And so I say that the record
shows that we know how to
keep the peace, to keep it with
out surrender.
Let us move now to the fu-
ture.
It is not enough to stand on
this record because we are
dealing with the most ruthless
fanatical leaders that the
world has ever seen. That is
why I say that in this period
Of the SOS, America must move
forward in every area. First of

Senator Kennedy admitted, the

Evening star., 1960-10-22

Just as high an opinion-but
what / 'downgrade. Mr.. Nixon,
Is the leadership Of the Gov
ernnient. not the country.
I didn't make most Of the
statements that you said I
made. / belieye the Soviet
Union is first in outer space.
We may have made more shots,
but the size Of their rocket
thrust and all the rest, you
yourself said to Khrushchev,
''You may be ahead Of US In
rocket thrust. but we are ahead
of you in color television." IN
your famous discussion In the
kitchen. I think color television
is not as important as rocket
thrust.
Secondly, I didn't say we had
the worst slums in the world.
/ said we have too many slums
and that they are bad and we
ought to do something about
that, and we ought to add to
our housing legislation. which
this administration has passed.
! didn't say we had the
worst education in the world.
What I said was that 10 years
ago we were producing twice
as many scientists and engi-
neers as the Soviet Union
and today they are producing
twice as many as we are-and
that this affects our security
around the world.
And, fourth, I believe that
the polls and other studies and
votes in the United Nations.
and anyone reading the paper
and any citizen of the United
States, must come to the con-
clusion that the United States
no longer carries the same
image of a vital society on the
move with its brightest days
ahead as it carried a decade
or two decades ago.
Part Of that is because we
have stood still here at home
because we haven't met our
problems in the United States,
because we haven't had a
moving economy. Part of that,
as the Gallup polls show, is
because the Soviet Union made
a break-through in outer space.
Mr.. George Allen stated that
that made the people Of the
world begin to wonder wheth-
er we were first in science. We
are first in other areas Of SCI
ence, but in space, which is
the new science, we are not
first.

This is a race between tht

able men who could be Secre.

Judgment about who should bt

that Judgment could be made
