which would repeal our present
Judging reservation. I sup
port that resolution and urge
its prompt passage. If this is
done, I intend to urge similar
accpetance of the courts juris-
diction by every member of the
United Nations.
Here perhaps it is not amiss
for me to say to the members of
the Congress. in this my final
year of office, a word about the
institutions we respectively rep
resent and the meaning which
the relationships between our
two branches has for the days
ahead.
I am not unique as a Presi-
dent in having worked with a
Congress contrHlled by the op-
position party-except that no
other President ever did it for
quite so long! Yet IN both per-
sonal and official relationships
we have weathered the storms
of the past five years. For this
! am grateful.
My deep concern in the next
II months, before any successor
takes office, is with our joint
congressional-executive duty to
our own and to other nations.
Acting upon the beliefs I have
expressed here today, 1 shall
devote my full energies to
the tasks at hand, VIII ether
these involve travel for pro-
noting greater world under
standing, negotiations to re-
duce international discord, or
constant discussions and COM
munications with the Congress
and the American people on
issues both domestic and for
eign.
In pursuit of these objec-
tives, I look forward to, and
shall dedicate myself to, a
close and constructive associa-
ton with Congress.
! Every minute spent in irrele-
want interbranch wrangling is
precious time taken from the
intelligent initiation and adop-
ton Of coherent policies for
our national survival and prog
resS.

New Opportunity
For Peace Arises

Over the past year the Soviet
Union has expressed an interest
in measures to reduce the COM
mon peril Of war.
While neither we nor any
other free world nation can
permit ourselves to be misled
by pleasant promises until they
are tested by performance, yet
we approach this apparently
new opportunity with the ut
most seriousness. We must
strive to break the calamitous
cycle Of Illustrations and crises
which, if unchecked. could
spiral into nuclear disaster; the
ultimate insanity.
Though the need for depend
able agreements to assure
against resort to force in set
ting disputes is apparent to
both sides yet as in other is
sues dividing men and nations.
we cannot expect sudden and
revolutionary results. But we
must find some place to begin.
One obvious road on which
to make a useful start is in the
widening of communication
between our two peoples. In
this field there are, both sides
willing, countless opportunities
most of them well known to
US all-for developing mutual
understanding, the true foun-
dation of peace.
Another avenue may be
through the reopening, on
January II, of negotiations
looking to a controlled ban on
the testing of nuclear weapons.
Unfortunately, the closing
statement from the Soviet
scientists who met with our
scientists at Geneva in an un-
successful effort to develop an
agreed basis for a test ban, gives
the clear impression that their
conclusions have been politi-
cally guided. Those of the
British and American scientific
representatives are their own
freely-formed, individual and
collective opinions. I am hope
full that as new negotiations
begin, truth-not political op-
portunism-will be the guiding
light of the deliberations.
Still another avenue may be
found in the field of disarma-
ment, in which the SovietS
have professed a readiness to
negotiate seriously. They have
not, however, made clear the
plans they may have, if any,
for mutual inspection and veri-
fication-the essential condi-
tion for any extensive measure
OF disarmament.
There is one instance where
our initiative for peace has
recently been successful. A
multi-lateral treaty signed last
month provides for the exclu-
sively peaceful use of Ant
arctica, assured by a system of
inspection. 1t provides for free
and cooperative scientific re-
search in that continent, and
prohibits nuClear explosions
there pending general interna-
tional agreement on the sub
ject. The Treaty is significant
contribution toward peace, in
ternational cooperation, and
the advancement of science.

Following is the prepared
stdte-ot-the- Union message,
Mr.. President. Mr.. Speaker.
members of the S6th Congress,
my fellow citizens:
Seven years ago I entered
my present Office with one long
held resolve overriding all
others. I was then, and remain
now. determined that the
United States shall become an
ever-more potent resource for
the cause of peace-realizing
that peace cannot be for our
selves alone, but for peoples
everywhere. This determination
is shared by the entire Congress
indeed, by all Americans.
My purpose today is to dis
cuss some features of Americas
position. both at home and in
her relations to others.
First, l point out that for
US, annual Self-eXamination is
made definite necessity by the
fact that we now live in a di-
vided world of uneasy equilib-
rum. with our side committed
to its own protection and
against aggression by the other.
With both sides of this di-
vided world in possession of
unbelievably destructive weap-
ons, mankind approaches a
state where mutual annihilation
becomes a possibility. No other
fact of today'S world equals
this in importance-it colorS
everything We say. plan and do.
There is demanded of us.
vigilance, determination and
the dedication of whatever por-
ton of our resources that will
provide adequate security, es-
pecially a real deterrent to
aggression. These things we are
doing.
All these facts emphasize the
Importance of striving inces-
sanity for a just peace.
Only through the strength
ening of the spiritual, intellec-
tual, economic and defensive
resources Of the free world can
we. in confidence, make prog
reSS toward this goal.
Second, we note that recent
Soviet department and pro-
nouncements suggest the posi-
BILE opening of a somewhat less
strained period in the relation
ships between the Soviet Union
and the free world. If these
pronouncementS be genuine,
there is brighter hope of di-
minishing the intensity of past
rivalry and eventually Of sub
stitutlng persuasion for coer-
cion. Whether this is to be-
come an era of lasting promise
remains to be tested by actions.
Third, we now stand in the
veStibule Of vast new techno-
logical age-one that, despite
its capacity for human destruc-
tion, has an equal capacity to
make poverty and human
misery obsolete. If our efforts
are wisely directed-and if our
unremitting efforts for de-
pendable peace begin to attain
some success we can surely
become participants in creating
an age characterized by justice
and rising levels OF human
well-being.

Education BosicoW
Local and Personal
We cannot be complacent
about educating our youth.

We cannot be complacent
about educating our youth.
But the route to better
trained minds is not through
the swift administration of a
Federal hypodermic or sus-
tained financial TRANSMISSION.
The educational process, essen
TALLY a local and personal re-
sponsibility, cannot be made to
leap ahead by crash, central
lied governmental action.
The administration has pro-
posed a carefully reasoned pro-
gram for helping eliminate
current deficiencies. It is de-
signed to stimulate classroom
construction, not by subStitu-
ton of Federal dollars for
State and local funds, but by
incentives to extend and en-
courage State and local efforts,
This approach rejects the no.
ton of Federal domination or
control. 1t is workable, and
should appeal to every Ameri-
can interested in advancement
of our educational system in
the traditional American way
I urge the Congress to take
action upon it.
There is one other subject
concerning which I renew q
recommendation l made in my
state-of- -the-Union message last
January. I then advised the
Congress of my purpose to in.
tenSify our efforts to replace
force with a rule of law among

abroad. I am convinced thai
purpose is widely and deeply
shared by other peoples anC
nations of the world.
In the same message, I stated
that our efforts would include 6
re-eXamination Of our own rela.
ton to the International Cour'
of Justice. The court was estab.
liShed by the United Nations tt

putes between nations. In 194t

only gradually earned; there is
no easy and quick way to fol-
low from the ox-cart to the jet
plane.
But. Just as we drew on Eu-
rope for assistance in our ear
lier years, so now do those
new and emerging nations that
have this faith and determina-
ton deserve help.
Over the last Is years, 20
nations have gained political
independence. Others are doing
so each year. Most of them are
woefully lacking in technical
capacity and in investment
capital; without free world
support in these matters they
cannot effectively progress in
freedom.
Respecting their need. one of
the major focal points Of our
concern is the South Asian
region. Here. III two nations
alone, are almost 500 million
people, all working, and work
ing hard. to raise their stand
ards. and in doing so, to make
of themselves a strong bull
wark against the spread OF
an theology that would destroy
liberty.
l cannot express TO you the
depth OF my conviction that. in
our own and free world inter-
estS, we must cooperate with
others TO help these people
achieve their legitimate ambi-
tions, as expressed in their
different multi year plans
Through the World Bank and
other instrumentalities. as well
as through individual action by
every nation in position to help
we must squarely face this
titanic challenge.
All of us must realize, o1
course, that development ir
freedom by the newly emerging
nations, is no mere matter oi
obtaining outside financial
assistance. An indispensable
element in this process is a
strong and continuing deter
mination on the part of these
nations to exercise the national
discipline necessary for any
sustained development period
These qualities of determine
ton are particularly essential
because of the fact that the
process of improvement will
necessarily be gradual anc
laboriouS rather than revolu-
tionary. Moreover, everyone
should be aware that the de.
velopment process is no short
term phenomenon. Many years
are required for even the most
favorably situated countries.
l shall continue to urge the
American people, in the inter-
ests of their own security. pros.
perity and peace, to make sure
that their own part of thi'
great project be amply anc
Cheerfully supported. Fret
world decisions in this matter
may spell the difference be-
tween world disaster and worlc
progress in freedom.
Other countries, some O.
which I visited last month
have similar needs.

In the management of the
huge public debt the Treasury
is unfortunately not free of
artificial barriers. Its ability
to deal with the difficult prob
lens in this field has been
weakened greatly by the un-
willingness of the Congress to
remove the archaic restrictions.
The need for a freer hand in
debt management is even more
urgent today because the costs
Of the undesirable financing
practices which the Treasury
has been forced into are
mounting. Removal of this

hope that these will be among
the matters to be seriously con-
sldered in the current session,
trust that Congress will thus
signal to the world that our
Government is striving for
equality under law for all our
people.
Each year and in many ways
our Nation continues to un-
dergo profound change and
growth.
In the last 18 months. we
have hailed the entry of two
more States of the Union -
Alaska and Hawaii. We salute
these two Western stars
proudly.
Our vigorous expansion
which we all welcome as a sign
OF health and vitality, is many
sided. We are, for example
witnessing explosive growth in
metropolitan areas.
BY 1875 the metropolitan
areas of the United States will
occupy twice the territory they
