The speech was Mr.. Khru-
Shchev's first since his return
yesterday from a visit to
Austria where his attacks
against the West prompted the
United States and West Ger
many to protest he had
violated Austrian neutrality.
The Soviet premier reversed
the charge:
If somebody is interfering
in the internal affairs of an
other country, then it is the
United States in Cuba.
THE United States is now,
evidently, scheming perfldiouS
criminal measures against the
Cuban people. 1t is clear to
everyone, that the economic
blockade by the American mo-
nopolistS might mark the
beginning of preparations for
intervention against Cuba.
"The socialist Communist

Cuban people in their just

succeed in enslaving the

premier described as a fragrant
example of "monopolist men

"The people of Latin Amer

nopolists are living in rich

Mr.. Khrushchev made it
clear he still believes in the
usefulness of heads Of govern
mentings. He said his talks

asserted that the Austrian trip
proved "once again the vitality
of the idea of peaceful coex-
istence between states with
differing social systems and the
usefulness of contacts between

eminent must undertake a
program, we look, wherever
possible. to the State and local
governments to assume the re-
Sponsibility. The Federal Gov
eminent undertakes only those
necessary. tasks which, cannot
otherwise be accomplished.
But even so, the central gov
eminent finds itself deeply in
volved, and the proper perform
ance Of these duties requires
time, resources, experience and /
Judgment.
1t is an irresponsible mis-
representation for any party to
allege that all the human and
economic problems of this Ma
ton can be overcome in a short !
time, or accomplished by mere
spending of our grandchil-
dren'S reSources-and without
increasing taxes or mourning
new deficits.
We demand that the Federal
Government give needed assist
ance cheerfully, but in ways
that will protect the tradi-
tional relationship between
Federal and local government,
and promote the dynamism of
our total economy. Republi-
cans support the concepts that
animated the FoundingI
Fathers, who feared nothing
else so much as they did the
concentration of power and re-
sponsibility in the central gov
eminent.
Our record proves that we
have lived and worked in these
convictions.

u. S. Proud
OF Achievements

Over and above strictly ma
terial accomplishments, the
American people have every
reason to be proud of their
many domestic achievements
during these Republican years.
Our educational structure
has been expanded and assist
ed to perform its traditional
functions.
A higher percentage Of

In science and technology,
advances have been unprece-
dented.

me that funds going into re-
search and development are

than seven years ago.
Fifty million more Ameri-
cans have been covered by pri-
vate medical and hospital in
Surance.
Medical research has ex-
panded five times.
Seven and a half million
more of our people have been
covered by social security.
And. in the face of all the
efforts of the reckless spenders
to thwart the administration, a
budgetary surplus has been
achieved, fiscal responsibility
maintained, and confidence re-
stored.
Such results are the fruit OF
sound, deliberate policies-in-

Members of this convention,
your guests, and my fellow citi-
Zens across this broad land.
From our hearts. Mamie and 1
thank you for the warmth Of
your greeting. My friends,
there is no individual who has
been in political life for five
minutes that hasn't felt at
times encouragement and dis
appointment. But such a dem
onstration after seven and one
half years is indeed tribute
that warns our hearts. We
shall never forget it.
The enthusiasm 1 find
throughout this convention evil
dences your support of the do
nestle and international lead
ership that has been provided
by Republicans during the past
seven-and-one-half years.
1t means to me that, under
sound Republican direction, you
want, first Of all. to stimulate
never weaken-the sturdy self
reliance and self-confidence Of
the American citizen, and suS-
tain his equality before the law;
> That you believe moral law
to be the sure foundation of
every constructive human ac-
ton;
That you want to continue to
foster a strong, expanding econ
omy;
That you are determined to
continue the maintenance of a
national security position, Sec
ond to none;
And that your deepest hope
is that each of us may do his
or her part in furthering the
age-old dream Of mankind-a
universal peace with justice.
And, finally, that each of you
is ready to roll up your sleeves
and work tirelessly and in every
conceivable and honorable way
to help achieve these great
purposes.
I have come before you in
this assembly to testify to my
great pride in the America of
today; and my confidence in
the brightness of her future.
I glory in her moral, economic
and military strength. in the
ideals that she, upholds before
the world, and in her readiness
to assist the less fortunate of
the earth to obtain and enjoy
the blessings of freedom.
To this convention, I bring
no words of despair or doubt
about my country-no doleful
prediction Of disaster.
In this election campaign Of
1860, ! pray that Republicans
will always remember the great
ness of our Nation and will talk
only the truth about her-be-
cause in spreading the truth,
we are not only being true to
our national ideals but we are
planting the fertile seeds of
political victory.

Cites Difference
Between Parties

Here we encounter a major
difference between the two
parties: We, as Republicans, re-
ject the argument that healthy
growth can thus be bought
from the funds of the Federal
Treasury. Republicans instinc-
lively distrust those who are so
intent upon watching an eco
nomic 'speedometer that they
don't keep their eyes trained
where they should be-on the
road ahead.
We believe profoundly that
constant and unnecessary Gov
ornamental meddling in our
economy leads to a standard
lied. weakened and tasteless So
,ciety that encourages dull medi-
ocrity; whereas private enter
prise, dependent upon the vigor
of healthful competition, leads
to individual responsibility,
pride Of accomplishment, and,
above all, national strength.
This has always been, is now
and I pray will always be
basic Republican doctrine.
Our total picture of economic
well-being contains another fact
vitality important to every citi-
zen: The amazing growth in
national prosperity since 1858
has been accompanied by a
radical reduction in the rate of
imitation.
Inf1ation-the most insidious
and cruel form of taxation ever
devised-drove prices up 40 per
cent in the previous admins
tration, thus robbing millions
of our people of savings and
purchasing power.
In the last seven-an-a-half
years, we have succeeded in
keeping the total price rise
below II per cent. And-this
is my fixed opinion-this rec
ord could have been even bet
ter if I might have had the
privilege of working, all these
years, with a Republican Con-
greSs.

No Distortion
OF the Facts

We need not and we shall
not distort or ignore the facts.
The truth--the whole truth
will lead the American people
to wise decisions in selecting
the men and women to occupy
positions of responsibility in
Z Government, including the man
who will ride with me up Penn
sylvania avenue next January
to be inaugurated as the next
President.
If we present the facts fer
vently, persistently and widely,
the next President Of the United
States will be a Republican,
and that will be blessing for
America.
2 In this campaign-which is
nothing less than a vast edu-
cational endeavor-we will be
presenting to citizens the evil
, dence they need in order to
arrive at their individual judg-
ments on the issues and the
candidates.
Whoever misleads by calcu-
lated use of some but not all
the facts, whoever distortS the
truth to serve selfish ambition,
whoever asserts weakness
where strength exists-makes
a mockery of the democratic
process and misrepresentS our
beloved country in the eyes of
the watching world.
The irrefutable truths are
that the United States is en-
joying an unprecedented pros
perity; that it has, in co-opera-
ton with its friends and allies,
the strongest security system
in the world, and that it is
working ceaselessly and effec-
lively for a peace with justice,
in freedom.
Our own mounting living
standards and the history of
these Republican years, pro-
vide the proof that these are
facts.
It's not my purpose tonight
to review the detailed story of
these past seven-and-a-half
years. But our people are so
deeply and naturally interested
in the status and progress Of
American economic. military
and foreign activities that to
these fields I direct my partic-
,ular attention.
Our foremost objective is the
pursuit of peace with justice.
To make any progress toward
this goal we must have both a
strong economy and adequate
military strength. I will talk
first of these two essential con-
ditionS.

struggle in which we are en-
gaged-a struggle to preserve
the basic concepts which under
grid our free way of life.
Great Progress Made
In this vast effort we have
experienced a great sweep of
progress. In such a gigantic
program, working toward such
great goals as these, we of
course encounter some disap-
pointments-witness the diff
ficulties in Cuba, the unrest in
the Congo, and Communist
inspired mob violence in Japan.
But such as these we have to
expect, and each is a spur to
harder work-never shall we
cease or tire in this task.
In the pursuit Of world peace,
I have personally journeyed
more than 10000 miles during
the past year, and visited the
peoples of more than a score
of nations on four continents.
I have heard the insistent de-
mandS of men everywhere for
the right to live their lives in
peace, and I have seen and
taken part in many impressive
American initiatives directed
toward this crucial goal.
In Europe. our friends are
more prosperous and stronger
than at any time in history,
and NATO stands more solidly
united with greater resources
Of strength than ever before.
The independence of South
Korea endureS, as does that
Of South Wet Nam and Taiwan.
The Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization, organized in 1854,
manifests our deep interest in
the freedom and welfare of ITS
million people in that quarter
of the world. as does the new
security treaty between Japan
and ourselves.
Hemisphere Closely Knit
The American family of ma
tons is more closely knit than
ever before, with new inStru-
mentS for effective co-opera-
ton. We have created the
Inter-American Development
Bank with out Latin American
friends. We have established
the development loan fund in
order to avoid placing unreason-
able burdens upon developing
nations, and we have increased
the lending capacity of the
Export Import Bank by approx
imately So billion. Despite the
lawlessness and violence in one
area Of this hemisphere, there
has been an increased recog-
milton of the mutually Of in
terest of the countries of the
Americas in cultural, economic
and military ways; our i'm
portance one to another has
been reaffirmed.
We have given of our
strength, our skills, and our
material abundance in the task
Of building a strong, stable,
secure and powerful community
of free nations. From this
work we shall not be deferred,

is one economic comparison
that has particular interest in
this election year. 1t involves
what the economists call the
gross national product. Con-
corning it we are fed a great
deal of information-and much
more Of misinformation. The
interesting fact is that in these
past seven and a half years the
annual gross national product
has increased by 500 billion, or
Is per cent.
This figure. though stupen-
douS, is asserted by some to be
unnecessarily low. What would
they say If they knew that dur
ing the almost eight-year dura-
ton of the prior Democratic
administration the gross ma
tional product actually declined
in every single peacetime year
save one.
Are we not justified in draw
ing some appropriate 3onclu-
Sions from this fact? And, by
the way. I may remark, the
facts I am giving you are in
terms of constant dollars.
1t is clear that whatever eco
nomic growth was realized dur
ing the previous administration
occurred mainly under wartime
circumstances. Surely it is not
suggested that this is the way
for the United States to seek
prosperity!
During all the years of this
administration, I've heard
much from the opposition
especially from its free-spend-
ing clique-about increasing the
rate of economic growth, by
depending principally on Gov
ornamental activity, with vastly
increased Federal expenditures.
