There's No Quick
And Easy Solution

Therefore, I, as President
and Commander-in-Chi and
all of us as Americans, are
moving through serious days.
shall bear this responsibility
under our Constitution for the
next three and one-half years,
but l am sure that we all, re-
gardlesS of our occupations, will
do our very best for our coun-
try, and for our cause.
For all Of us want to see our
children grow up in a country
at peace, and in a world where
freedom endures. I know that
sometimes eve get impatient,
we wish for some immediate ac-
ton that would end our perils.
But I must tell you that
there is no quick and easy So
luton. The Communists con-
troll over a billion people. They
recognize that if we should
falter. their success would be
imminent.
We must look to long days
ahead, which If we are cour-
ageous and persevering can
bring what we all desire,
In these days and, weeks I
ask for your help, and your ad-
vice. I ask for your suggestions,
when you think we could do
better.
All of us I know love our
country, and we shall all do
our best to serve it.
In meeting my responsible
ties in these coming months as
President, l need your good
will and your support - and
above all, your prayers.
Thank you, and good night.

Extra 7 axes
May Be Needed

| The addition of. $207 million
in civil defense appropriations
brings out total new defense
budget requests to $3.454 bill
lion. and a total of $47.5 billion
for the year. This is an increase
in the defense budget Of Sc
billion since January, has re-
suited in official estimates of a
budget deficit of over IS billion.
The Secretary Of the Treasury
and other economic advisers
assure me. however, that our
economy has the capacity to
bear this new request.
We are recovering strongly
from last winters recession.
The increase in this last quar-
ter of our total national output
was greater than that for any
postwar period of initial recov-
cry. And yet, wholesale prices
are actually lower than they
were during the recession. and
consumer prices are only "a
of per cent higher than
they were last October. In
fact. this last quarter was the
first in eight years in which
our production has increased
without an increase in the
overall price index. And for
the first time since the fall of
1859, our gold position has i'm
proved and the dollar is more
respected abroad. These gains,
it should be stressed, are being
accomplished with budget de-
ficits far smaller than those
of the 1858 recession.
This improved business out
look means improved revenues:
and 1 intend to submit to the
Congress in January a budget
for the next fiscal year which
will be strictly in balance.
Nevertheless, should an increase
in taxes be needed to achieve
that balance in view of these
or subsequent defense rises,
those increased taxes will be
requested.
Meanwhile, to help make GER
tain that the current deficit is
held to a safe level, we must
keep down all expenditures not
thoroughly justified in budget
requests. The luxury of our
current post office deficit must
be ended. Costs in military
procurement will be closely
scrutinized-and in this effort
I welcome the cooperation of
the Congress. The tax loop
holes I have specified-on ex-
pense accounts, overseas in
come. dividends. interest, CO.
operatives and others-muSt be
closed.
I realize that no public re-
venue measure is welcomed by
everyone. But I am certain that
every American wants to pay
his fair share, and not leave
the burden of defending free
dom entirely on those who bear
arms. For we have mortgaged

many, to the unity Of Western
Europe, and to the faith of
the whole free world. Soviet
strategy has long been aimed,
not merely at Berlin, but at
dividing and neutralizing all
of Europe, forcing us back to
our own shores. We must
meet our oft-stated pledge to
the free peoples of West Berlin
and maintain our rights and
their safety, even in the face
of force-in order to maintain
the confidence of other free
peoples in our word and our
resolve. The strength of the
Alliance on which our security
depends is dependent in turn
on our willingness to meet these
commitments.

Civilian Defense
Beinq Pushed

We have another sober re-
Sponsibility. To recognize the
possibilities of nuclear war in
the missile age, without oul
citizens knowing what they
should do and where they
should go if bombs begin tt
fall, would be a failure OF
responsibility. In May, ]
pledged a new start on civil
defense. Last week, I assigned
on the recommendation of my
civil defense director, basic re-
sponsibility in this program te
the Secretary of Offense, tt
make certain it is administered
and co-ordinated with our con-
tinental defense efforts at the
highest civilian level.
Tomorrow, I am requesting
of the Congress new funds fol
the following immediate OBJ
jectives: To identify and mark
space in existing structures
public and private-that coulc
be used for fall-out shelter;
in case of attack; to stock
those shelters with food, wa
ter, first-aid kits, tools, Sani.
tation facilities and other min
imum essentials for survival;
to increase their capacity; tc
improve our afraid warning
and fall-out detection systems
including a new household
warning system now under de-
velopment; and to take other
measures that will be effective
at an early date to save mil
lions of lives if needed.
In addition, new federal
buildings will include space
suitable for fall-out shelters
as well as normal use.
In the event of an attack
the lives of those families which
are not hit in a nuclear blast
and fire can still be saved
if they can be warned to take
shelter and if that shelter is
available. We owe that kind
of insurance to our families

Kennedy Says Firmness Can Help Free Men Preva

FOLLOWING is the prepared
feTt of President Kennedy's
TV-rGdio broadcast to the
Nation last night:
Good evening.
Seven weeks ago tonight I
returned from Europe to re-
port to you on my meeting with
Soviet Premier Khrushchev and
others. His grim warnings
about the future of the world,
the aide-memoire he presented
me on Berlin, the subsequent
speeches and threats which he
and his agents have launched.
and the increase in the Soviet
military budget he announced
have all prompted a series of
decisions by this administra-
ton and consultations within
the Atlantic community. In
Berlin, as you recall, he in
tends to bring to an end,
through a stroke Of his pen,
first. our legal rights to be in
West Berlin - and secondly,
our ability to make good on our
commitment to the two mil
lion free people of that city.
That we cannot permit.
We are clear about what
must be done-and we intend
to- do it.
] want to talk frankly with
you tonight about the first
steps we shall take. These ac-
tions will require sacrifice on
the part of many citizens. More
will be required in the future.
They will require, for all of us,
courage and perseverance for
many years to come. But If we
and our allies act out of the
strength and unity of our pur-
pose-with calm determination
and steady nerves-using re-
stfaint in our words as we'll as
our weapons = I am hopeful
that both peace and freedom
viii be sustained.
Evening star., 1961-07-26

and to our country. In contrast
to our friends in Europe, the
need for this kind of protec-
ton is new to our shores. But
the time to start is now. In the
coming months. I hope to let
every citizen know what steps
he can take without delay to
protect his family in case Of
attack. I know you would not
want to do less.

We Recognize
Duty to Mankind

But I must emphasize again
that the choice is not merely
between resistance and retreat
between atomic holocaust and
surrender. Our time mil
itary posture is tradionally de-
fensive: but our diplomatic
posture need not be. Our re-
sponse to the Berlin crisis will
not be merely military or mega
tive. 1t will be more than mere
ly standing firm. For we do moi
intend to leave it to others t..
choose and monopolize the
forum and framework of dis
cuSSion. We do not intend tC
abandon our duty to mankind
to seek a peaceful solution.
AS Signers of the U.N. Char
ter, we shall always be pre-
pared to discuss international
problems with any and all ma
tions that are willing to talk
and listen-with reason. II
they have requestS-not de-
mands-we shall hear them. If
they seek genuine understand
ing-not concessions Of oul
rightS-we shall meet with
them. We have previously in
dicated our readiness to remove
any actual irritants in West
Berlin-but the freedom ot
that city is not negotiable. We
cannot negotiate with those
who say: Whats mine is
mine; What's yours is negoti-
able" But we are willing to
consider any arrangement OF
treaty in Germany consistent
with the maintenance Of peace
and freedom, and with the
Legitimate security interests ot
all nations.
We recognize the Soviet Un.
ions historical concerns about
their security in Central anC
Eastern Europe, after a serie.
of ravaging invasions-and We
believe arrangements can bt
worked out which will help tt
meet those concerns, and make
it possible for both security
and freedom to exist in this
troubled area.
For it is not the freedom oi
West Berlin which is "abnor.
NAL" in Germany today, but
the entire situation in that
divided country. II any enc
doubts the legality of our rights
in Berlin, we are ready to have
it submitted to adjudication
If anyone doubts the extent tt
which our presence is desired
by the people of West Berlin
compared to East German
feelings about their regime, We
are ready to have that question
submitted to a free vote ir
Berlin, and if possible, among
all the German people. And lei
us hear at that time from the
2-and-a-half million refugees
who have fled the Communist
regime in East Germany-vot-
ing for Western-type freedom
with their feet.
