Economic Growth

forces of freedom in the world,
we count on the proved produc-

Despite the lamentations Of
the opposition in viewing the

fact is that our $500 billion
economy finds more Americans
at work, earning more, spend
ing more, saving more, invest
ing more, building more than
ever before in history. The we'll

Foreign Policy

The Republican Party as
serts that the sovereign purpose
of our foreign policy is to Sc
cure the free institutions of our
Nation against every peril; to
hearten and fortify the love of
freedom everywhere in the
world; and to achieve a just
peace for all of anxious hu-
manity.
The pre-eminence of this
Republic requires of us a Wig
orous, resolute foreign policy
inf1eXible against every tyran-
nical encroachment, and mighty
in its advance toward our own
affirmative goals.
The Government of the
United States. under the ad-
ministration of President Eisen-
hover and Vice President
Nixon, has demonstrated that
firmness in the face of threat
ened aggression is the most de-
pendable safeguard Of peace
We now reaffirm our determi-
nation to defend the security
and the freedom of our country,
to honor our commitments to
our allies at whatever cost or
sacrifice, and never to submit
to force or threats. Our de-
termination to stand fast has
forestalled aggression before
Berlin, in the Formosa Straits.
and in Lebanon. Since 1854 no
free nation has fallen victim
behind the Iron Curtain. We
mean to adhere to the policy
of f1rmness that has served us
SO well.
We are unalterably commit
ted to maintaining the security
freedom and solidarity of the
Western Hemisphere. We sup
port President Eisenhower's re-
affirmation of the Monroe Doc
trine in all it's vitality. Faith
full to our treaty commitments
we shall join the republics OF
the Americas against any in
tervention in our hemisphere
and in refusing to tolerate the
establishment in this hemi-
sphere of any government DOM
mated by the foreign Iule Of
communism.

political unions, we would well
come them with our support.
Despite the counterdrive OF
international communism, re-
lentless against individual free
dom and subverSive of the SOW
ereignty of nations, a powerful
drive for freedom has swept the
world since World War II and
many heroic episodes in the
Communist countries have dem
onstrated anew that freedom
will not die.
The Republican Party re-
affirmS its determination to use
every peaceful means to help
the captive nations toward
their independence, and thus
their freedom to live and wor-
ship according to conscience
We do not condone the subju-
cation Of the peoples of Hun
gary, Poland, East Germany,
CzechoSlovakia, Rumania, Al
bania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithu-
ania, Estonia. and other once
free nations. We are not shaken
in our hope and belief that
once again they will rule them
selves as nations.
Our time surges with change
and challenge, peril and great
opportunities. 1t calls us to
great tasks and efforts-for
free men can hope to guard
freedom only if they prove cap
able of historic acts of wisdom
and courage.
Dwight David Eisenhower
stands today throughout the
world as the greatest champion
of peace and justice and good.
The Republican Party brings
to the days ahead trained, ex-
perienced. mature and coura
geous leadership.
Our party was born for free
dom'S sake. 1t is still the party
of full freedom in our country
