Nixon Reply

Mr.. NixOn-I would say, first
of all, that Senator Kennedy's
statement that he just made is
not going to help our Gallup
polls abroad and it isn't going
to help our prestige either.
Let's look at the other side
of the coin. Let's look at the
vote on the Congo. The vote
was 10 to nothing against the
Soviet Union. Let's look at the
situation with regard to eco
nomic growth as it really is. We
find that the Soviet Union is a
very primitive economy. -
It's growth rate is now what
counts, it is whether it is catch
ing up with us, and it is not
catching up with us. We are
well ahead, and we can stay
ahead, provided we have con-
fidence in America and don't
run her down in order to build
her up. We can look, also, at
other items which Senator
Kennedy has named. but I will
only conclude by saying this:
In this whole matter of pres
tige, in the final analysis, you
are standing for what is right
and getting back to this matter
that we discussed at the outset,
the matter of Quemoy and
Matsu. I can think of nothing
that will be a greater blow to
the prestige Of the United
States among the free nations
| in Asia than for us to take
Senator Kennedy's advice to go
against what a majority Of the
members of the Senate, both
Democrat and Republican, did
| and said in 1855, than to say in
advance we will surrender an
area to the Communists.
In other words, if the United
States is going to maintain its
strength and its prestige, we
must not only bee strong mill
tarily and economically, we
must be firm automatically.
Certainly, we have been speak
ing, I know, of whether we
should have retreat or defeat.
Lets remember that the way
to win is not to retreat and not
to surrender.

able to compete in the market
steel, and all the other basic
commodities abroad. We must
be able to compete against
them, because we always did,
because of the chronological
needs we have to be sure to
maintain that.
We have to persuade the
other countries not to restrict
our goods from coming in, not
to act as if there was a dollar
gap, and, third we have to per-
suade them to assume some of
the responsibility that up to
now we have maintained to
assist the underdeveloped coun-
tries in Latin America, Asia,
Africa, and make an economic
breakthrough on their own.

Commerce. That one must be
stepped up.
Beyond that, as far as the
gold supply is concerned, and
as far as the movement of gold
Is concerned, we have to bear
in mind that we must get more
help from our Allies abroad in
this great venture in which all
free men are involved, of VIM
ming the battle for freedom.
Now, America has been car
rying a tremendous load in this
respect. I think we have been
right in carrying it. / have
favored our programs abroad
for economic assistance and
for military assistance, but now
we find that the countries of
Europe, for example, that we
have aided, and Japan that we
have aided in the Far East.
these countries, some our for
mer enemies, some our friends,
have now recovered completely.
They have got to bear a
greater share of this load OF
economic assistance abroad.
That is why am advocating
and will develop during the
course of the next adminiStra-
tion-if, Of course, I get the
opportunity-a program In
which we enlist more aid from
these other countries on a con-
certed basis in the programs
of economic development fol-
Africa, Asia, and for Latin
America.
The United States cannot
!, continue to carry the major
share of this burden by itself
We can carry q big share OF
it, but we have got to have
more help from our friends
abroad. And these three fac.
tors, I think, will be very help
full in reversing the gold flow
which you spoke about.

Nixon Reply

MIR. Nixon. - Senator Ken
nedy has indicated on several
occasions in this program that
I have been misstating his fig
uses. I shall issue a white paper
after this broadcast quoting
exactly what he said on COM
pulsory arbitration, for ex-
ample, and the record will
show that I have been correct.
Now as far as his figures are
concerned here tonight, he
again is engaging in what I
would call a mirror game of
here it is and here it isn't. On
the other hand, for example, he
suggested that as far as his
medical care program is con-
cerned that that really isn't
the problem, because it is from
social security. But social Sc
curity is tax. The people pay
it. 1t comes right out of your
pay check.
This doesn't mean that the
people aren't going to be pay
ing the bill. He also indicates
that as far as his agriculture
program is concerned that he
feels it will cost less than ours.
Well, all that can suggest is
that all the experts who have
studied the program indicate
that it is the most fantastic
program, the worst program in
sofar as its effect on the farm
ers, that America has ever had
foisted upon it in an election
year or any other time.
And I would also point out
that Senator Kennedy left out
a part Of the cost of that pro-
gram. a Is per cent rise in food
prices that the people would
have to pay. Now, are we 60
ing to have that when it isn't
going to help the farmers?
don't think we should have
that kind of a program.
Then he goes on to say that
he is going to change the in
terest rate situation and we
are going to get some more
money that way. Well, what he
is saying in effect is we are

Kennedy Reply.

Senator Kennedy-Just to
correct the record, Mr.. Nixon
said on depletion that his rec
ord was the opposite Of mine.
What I said was this matter
should be gone thoroughly
into so there are no loopholes
If his record is the opposite
Of that. that means he doesn't
want to go into it.
On the question Of gold, the
difficulty, Of course. is that we
do have heavy obligations
abroad. that we, therefore
have to maintain not only q
favorable balance of trade but
also send a good deal of eul
dollars overseas to pay oul
troops, maintain our bases
and sustain our economy. Ir
other words, if we are going &
continue to maintain our posi-.
sition in the COS, we have tt
maintain a sound monetary
and fiscal policy.
We have to have control ovel
imitation. and we also have tt
have q favorable balance o.
trade. We have to be able tt
compete in the worlds markets
We have to be able to sci
abroad more than we can con
sumo from abroad if we arr
going to be able to meet oul
obligations.
In addition, many Of thi
countries around the world still
keep restrictions against oul
goods. going all the way bacl
to the days when there was {
dollar shortage. Now ther,
isn't a dollar shortage, and ye
many of these countries con

the vote dealing with Red China
last Saturday. we received sup
port on the position that We
have taken of only two African
countries-one Liberia, which
has been tied to us for more
than a century, and the other,
Union of South Africa, which
is not a popular country in
Africa. Every other African
country either abstained or
voted against us.
More countries voted against
us in Asia on this issue than
voted with us. On the neutralist
resolution, which we were so
much opposed to, the same
thing happened.
The candidate who was q
candidate for the President Of
Brazil took a trip to Cuba to
call on Mr.. Castro during the
election in order to get the
benefit of the Castro support
ers within Brazil.
There are many indications.
Guinea and Ghana, two inde-.
pendent countries within the
last three years, Guinea in
1857, Ghana within the last ID
months, both now are support
ing the Soviet foreign policies
at the United Nations. Mr..
Herter said so himself. Laos is
moving in that direction.
So / would say our prestige
is not so high. No longer do we
give the image of being on the
rise. No longer do we give an
image of vitality.

DEBATE
Candidates Split
Widely on Quemoy

ton that the two islands must
be defended.
The American Broadcasting
Co., which originated the de-
bate for all networks, declined
to take sides.
In New York City, John DAILY,
ABC vice president. said the
networks had understood both
candidates would speak "ad
lib without prepared text or
notes"
Mr.. Daily added, however,
that there had been no state
ment about "outlawing of ver-
batim text Of public documents
affecting areas about which
candidates might be ques-
toned"
The Vice President also is
sued a post-debate statement
in an attempt to prove that
Senator Kennedy at one time
recommended compulsory arbi-
tration in national emergency
labor disputes.
Senator Kennedy denied in
the debate that he had ever
suggested this. He said, how
ever, he believed that Govern
ment seizure in certain cases
might we'll be one of several
stronger legal weapons the
President ought to have to
cope with national emergencies
in the labor relations field.
Arbitration Stand Disputed
Mr.. Nixon produced a state
ment he said Senator Kennedy
included in a Fayette City (Pa.)
speech a year ago. The quoted
sentence included compulsory
arbitration among a proposed
variety of presidential powers
for settling labor disputes.
Senator Kennedy's press
secretary, Pierre Salinger, ex-
planned that those words had
been included by mistake in
the original speech draft and
were not delivered. He said
Senator Kennedy spotted this
and we pulled back all the
copies we could get our hands
on"
On the problem of Mr.. Tru-
mans salty campaign language,
Senator Kennedy said he saw
no reason to apologize to Re
publican National Chairman
Thruston Morton or anyone
else. He conceded that Mr..

what he is talking about" on
the subject Of Eisenhower ad-
ministration progress in the
defense area. He warned that
Senator Kennedy's statement
about loss of United States
prestige in the world "is not
going to help our prestige
abroad"
Senator Kennedy fired back
that he did not think Mr..
Nixon could estate the record
in distortion of the facts with
more precision than he did"
He said at another point that:
IT always have difficulty rec
ognizing my positions when
stated by the Vice President. I"
On the Quemoy-M mat
ter Senator Kennedy said he
wanted to make clear he did
not suggest those islands be
turned over to Red China at
the point of a gun. But he re-
peated his previous assertions
that the islands are military
indefensible, that the United
States has no treaty or other
commitment to defend them as
it has in Berlin, and that Mr..
Nixon was going farther than
the Eisenhower administration
in urging defense.
Mr.. Nixon insisted that
Senator Kennedy'S position
amounted to a policy of prac-
tically forcing Nationalist China
to withdraw from the islands
and to leave them to the mercy
Of the Reds. He contended that
such a position not only was
wrong in principle but would
"whet the appetite" of Red
China to demand more con-
cessions and eventually push
this country to the point where
war is inevitable"
In the wake of the debate
Mr.. Nixon accused Senator
Kennedy of breaking the rules
by reading from notes during
the argument over United
States defense of Quemoy and
Matsu.
A spokesman for Senator
Kennedy quoted him later as
denying there had been such
a ban on notes. In any event,
he said, he merely read from
a copy of a letter. He said that
letter of President Eisenhower

Kennedy's Stand
On Oil Depletion

Mr.. McGee-Sendtor Ken
nedy, a moment ago you
mentioned tar loopholeS. NotO.
your running mate, Senator
Lyndon Johnson, is from
Terds, an oil-producing State
and one that many political
leaders feel is in doubt in this
election year, and reports
from there say that oil men
in TeTas are seeking asSur-
dnce from Senator Johnson
that the oil depletion GlloW-
ance ,UiH not be cut. The
Democratic platform pledges
to plug loopholeS in the tar
ld,Ds and refers to tnequitGble
depletion GlloWGnceS as being
a conspicuous loophole. My
question is, do you consider
the 27la per cent depletion
allowance inequitdble and
tDould you ask that it be cut?
Senator Kennedy-Mr. Nc
Gee, there are about 104 com
moditieS that have some kline
of depletion allowance, differ
ent kinds of minerals, includ'
ing oil. I believe all of thoSt
should be gone over in detail
to make sure that no one Il

ought to pay.
That includes oil. 1t include

Kennedy's Price
On His Programs

Mr.. Cater-Mr. Kennedy,
Vice President Niron says
that he has costed the tho
parties platforms and that
yours mould run at least SO
billion a year more than his.
You haze denied his figures.
He has called on you to sup
ply your figures. Would you
do that?
Mr.. Kennedy - Yes. / have
stated in both debates and I
state again that I believe in a
balanced budget, and have sup
ported that concept during my
3 10 years In the Congress. The
only two times when an unbal-
anced budget is warranted
would be during q serious re-
cession-and we had that in
1858 in an unbalanced budget
Of $12 billion, or a national
emergency where there should
be large expenditures for ma
tional defense, which we had
In World War II and during
part Of the Korean war.
On the question Of the cost
Of our budget, I have stated
that it Is my best judgment
that our agricultural program
will cost a billion and a half,
possibly SO billion less than the
present agricultural program.
My judgment is that the pro-
gram the Vice President put
forward, which is an extension
of Mr.. Benson's program, will
cost a billion dollars more than
the present program, which cost
about $6 billion a year, the
most expensive in history. We
spend more money on agricul-
ture in the last eight years than
in the last 100 years of the
Agricultural Department before
that.
Secondly. believe that the
high interest policy that this
administration has followed
has added about SO billion a
year to interest on the debt,
merely funding the debt, which
is a burden on the taxpayers.
I would hope under different
monetary policy that it would
be possible to reduce that in
terest rate burden by at least
a billion dollars.
Thirdly, I think it is possible
to gain $700 million to 81 bill
lion through tax changes.
which I believe would close up
loopholes, on dividend with
holding; on expense accounts.
Fourth, ! have suggested that
the medical care for the aged
and the bill which the Con-
gress now has passed and the
President has signed. If fully
implemented would cost a bill
lion dollars out Of the Treasury
funds and a billion dollars by
the States.
The proposal that I have
put forward and which many
of the members of my party
support is for medical care
financed under the social Sc
curity taxes, which is less than
3 cents a day per person
for medical care, doctors bills,
nurses, hospitals when they
retire. It is actuarily sound.
So in my Judgment we would
spend more money in this ad-
ministration on aid to educa-
ton, spend more money on
housing, spend more money,
and hope more wisely, on
defense than this administra-
ton has done, but 1 believe the
next administration should
work for a balanced budget,
and that would be my inten-
ton.
Mr.. Nixon misstates my fig
ures constantly. which OF
course is his right. but the
fact of the matter is here is
where I stand, and I just want
to have 1t on the public record.
