A New Light
On Cold War

Third: Let us re-examine
our attitude toward the cold
war. Let us remember that we
are not engaged in a debate.
seeking to pile up debating
points. We are not here dis
tributing blame or pointing
the finger of judgment. We
must deal with the world as it
is, and not as it might have
been had the history of the
last IS years been different.
We must, therefore, persev-
ere in the search for peace in
the hope that constructive
changes within the Communist
bloc might bring within reach
solutions which now seem be-
yond us. We must conduct our
affairs in such a way that it,
becomes in the Communists
interest to agree on a genuine
peace. Above all, while always
defending our own vital inter-
ests, nuclear powers must avert
those confrontations which
present an adversary with a
choice Of either a humiliating
retreat or q nuclear war. To
adopt that kind Of course in the
nuclear age would De evidence
only Of the bankruptcy Of our
policy-or Of a collective
death-wish for the world.
To secure these ends, Ameri-
cas- weapons are non-provoca-
tive, carefully controlle d.
designed to deter and capable
of selective use. Our military
forces are committed to peace
and disciplined in self-restraint.
Our diplomats are instructed
to avoid unnecessary irritants
and purely rhetorical hostility.
For we can seek a relaxation
Of tensions without relaxing
ou- guard. And, for our part,
we do not need to use threats
TO prove that we are resolute.
We do not need TO jam foreign
broadcasts out Of fear our
faith VIII be eroded. We are
unwilling to impose our system
on any unwilling people-but
we are willing and able 10 en-
gage in peaceful competition
with any other system on earth.

Two Decisions
Are Announced

/ am taking this opportunity
therefore, to announce two i'm
portant decisions in this re-
gard:
First: Chairman Khrushchev.
Prime Minister Macmillan ]
have agreed that high-level dis
cussions will shortly begin in
Moscow looking toward early
agreement on a comprehensive
test ban treaty. Our hopes
must be tempered with the eau
ton Of history-but with our
hopes go the hopes Of all man
kind.
Second: To make clear our
good faith and solemn convic-
tons on the matter. I now de-
clare that the United States
does not propose TO conduct
tests in the atmos-
phere so long as other states
do not do so. We will not be
the first to resume. Such a
declaration is no substitute for
a formal binding treaty--but I
hope 1t viii help us achieve
one. Nor would such a treaty
be a substitute for disarma-
ment-but I hope 1t will help
us achieve 1t.
Finally. my fellow Americans.
let us re-examine our attitude
toward peace and freedom here
at home. The quality and spirit
Of our own society must justify
and support our efforts abroad.
We must show 1t in the dedica-
ton Of our own lives-as many
Of you who are graduating to-
day will have a unique oppor-
tunity to do. by serving with
out pay in the Peace Corps
abroad or in the proposed Ma
tional Service Corps here at
home.
But wherever we are. we

Kennedy Given Degree
AT AUS Graduation

A crowd Of 10000, distracted
by 9l-degree heat and the buzz
Of planes, listened quietly today
as President Kennedy asserted
the power Of mankind to
achieve peace.
The Presidents plea for a
test ban treaty at the gradua-
ton ceremonies OF American
University was a strong one,
but the heat overrode all other
considerations for the crowd.
Even the Presidents delivery
seemed rather wilted, and his
voice over the resonant loud
speakers did not have its usual
strength and drama.
The President arrived at the
John M. Reeves Athletic Field,
situated In q valley off Massa-
chusetts avenue NV, at 1925
am. He was ushered to the
platform by Mr.. Reeves, chair
man Of the board Of trustees.
and Hurst n. Anderson, presi-
dent Of the university, as the
United States Marine Band
played Hail TO the Chief"
After the Invocation by the
Rev. Charles r. Smyth, head
master Of the Pennington
School. Pennington. N. j., and
the father Of Saundra, one OF
today's graduates. the Presi-
dent began his speech. which
lasted Just under a half-hour.
The President was inter-
rupted by applause five times
upon calling for a test ban
treaty. his promise that the
United States would not test
II other nations didn't, and a
subsequently expressed hope for
general peace. The crowd also
applauded the Presidents oh.
lique reference 10 the civil
rights movement: I'm too
many Of our cities today the
peace rs not secure because
freedom Is Incomplete"
His statement that the gov
eminent and all citizens have
a responsibility 10 uphold "the
rights Of all others and TO
respect the law OF the land"
also was greeted with applause.
Given Honorary Degree
Or. Anderson conferred on
Mr.. Kennedy the honorary
degree Of doctor Of civil law.
The citation reads
John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
President Of the United States,
In our most sincere desire 10
honor YOU, sir, we are deeply
aware that your presence here
today In fact honors us. The

graduating class. We are

Peace Is Matter
OF Human Rights

1t is the responsibility of the
Executive Branch at all levels
Of Government - local, State
and national - to provide and
protect that freedom for all
citizens by all means within
their authority. 1t is the re-
sponsibility of the Legislative
Branch at all levels, wherever
that authority is not now ade-
quate. to make 1t adequate.
And 1t is the responsibility Of
all citizens in all sections to
respect the rights of all others
and to respect the law Of the
land.
All this is not unrelated to
world peace. when a mans
ways please the Lord" the
Scriptures tell us, He maketh
even His enemies to be at peace
with Him" And is not peace,
in the last analysis, basically
a matter Of human rights -
the right to live out our lives
without fear Of devastation -
the right to breathe air as
nature provided 1.-THE right
of future generations to a
healthy existence?
While we proceed to safe
guard our national interests,
let us also safeguard human
interests. And the elimination
of war and arms is clearly In
the interest of both. No treaty,
however much it may be to the
advantage of all, however
tightly it may be worded, can
provide absolute security
against the risks Of deception
and evasion. But it can-if it
is sufficiently effective in its
enforcement and if it is suffi-
GENTLY in the interests Of its
signers-offer far more security
and far fewer risks than an
undated, uncontrolled, unpre-
dictable arms race.
The United States. as the
world knows, will never start a
war. We do not want a war.
We do not now expect a war.
This generation of Americans
has already had enough-more
than enough-of war and hate
and oppression. We shall be
prepared for war, If others
wish it. We shall be alert to
try to stop it. But we shall
also do our part to build q
world of peace where the weak
are safe and the strong are
Just. We are not helpless be-
fore that task or hopeless Of
its success. Confident and un-
afraid, we labor on-not to-
ward a strategy of humiliation
but toward a strategy Of peace.

mainly as an opportunity to
appraise this situation in
new setting.
The decision for President
Kennedy to meet Prime Min
lister Macmillan late this
month in London was directly
related to the scheduling of
the Moscow talks. The British
and American leaders expect
to work out their final instruc-
tons to their representatives
in Moscow when they confer
on June 20 and 30.
Republican Senators Dirksen
and Goldwater were somewhat
critical of President Kennedy's
decision to have this country
join in new test ban negotia-
tons in Moscow and to prom
Use no more testing in the at
moSphere unless others test.
us there anything more than
a speculative hope as he (the
President) contemplates a
high-level conference in Mos
cow" asked Republican Leader
Dirksen.
"Will it be another case Of
concession and more conces-
sion to Khrushchev to achieve
some kind of a test ban
treaty."
Senator Goldwater suggested
the President was treading on
dangerous ground.
Humphrey, Clark Reply
Democratic Senators Hum
phrey and Clark replied to the
Republican comments.
Senator Humphrey said Mr..
Kennedy is well aware of the
hazards involved in any nego-
tiation but should be given
credit for trying.
Senator Clark expressed the
hope that members Of both
parties would stand behind the
President in his efforts TO
achieve some agreement.

The United States will make
no deal with the Soviet Union
at the expense of our nations
and other peoples, not merely
because they are our partners,
but because their interests and
ours converge.
Our interests converge, how
ever, not only in defending the
frontiers of freedom. but in
pursuing the paths of peace.
1t is our hope-and the pur-
pose Of Allied policies-to con-
vince the Soviet Union that
she, too. should let each nation
choose its own future, so long

and In haltlng the arms race.
Agreements to this end are in
the Soviets' interest as we'll as
ours-and even the most hos
tile nations can be relied upon
to accept and keep those treaty
obligations, end only those
treaty obligations, which are
in their own interest.
So. let us not be blind to
our differences-but let us al
so direct attention to our COM
mon interests and to the means
by which those differences can
be resolved. And If we cannot
now end our differences, at
least we can help make the
world safe for diversity. For. in
the final analysis. our most
basic common link is the fact
that we all inhabit this planet.
We all breathe the same air.
We all cherish our children's
future. And we are all mortal,

New Effort Needed
Toward World Law

This will require a new effort
to achieve world lava new
context for world discussions.
1t will require increased under
standing between the Soviets
and ourselves. And increased
understanding will require in
creased contact and commune
cation. One step in this direc-
ton is the proposed arrange
ment for a direct line between
Moscow and Washington, to
avoid on each side the danger
Gus delays. MISUNDERSTANDING
and misreadings of the others
actions which might occur in a
time of crisis.
We have also been talking
in Geneva about other first
step measures of arms control
designed to limit the intensity
of the arms race and to reduce
the risks of accidental war
Our primary long-range inter-
est in Geneva, however, is gen.
eral and complete disarma-
ment-designed to take place
by stages, permitting parable
political developments to build
the new institutions of peace
which would take the place Of
arms. The pursuit of disarma-
ment has been an effort of this
Government since the 1920s,
1t has been urgently sought BY
the last three administrations
And however dim the prospects
may be today, we intend to
continue this effort-to con-
tinue it in order that all coun-
tries. including our own. can
better grasp what the problems
and possibilities of disarma-
ment really are.
The one major area Of these
negotiations where the end is
in sight-yet where q fresh
start is badly needed = is a
treaty to outlaw nuclear tests.
The conclusion Of such a treaty
so near and yet so far-would
check the spiraling arms race
in one Of its most dangerous
areas.
1t would place the nuclear
powers in a position to deal
more effectively with one of
the greatest hazard which man
faces-the further spread of
nuclear weapons. 1t would in
crease our security-it would
decrease the prospects Of war.
Surely this goal is sufficiently
important to require our steady
pursuit, yielding neither to the
temptation to give UP the whole
effort nor the temptation t.
give up our insistence on vita
safeguards.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-06-10

as that choice does not inter-
fere with the choices Of others.
The Communist drive to impose
their political and economic
system on others is the primary
cause of world tension today.
For there can be no doubt that,
If all nations could refrain
from interfering in the self
determination of others, the
peace would be much more
assured,
