We support George C. Lodge as a candidate for the U. S. Senate because his record of performance and our discussions with him make clear to us that:

He stands for civil rights and civil liberties, for an end to discrimination and for an end to any and all restrictions upon individual freedom and opportunity because of race, color, religion or national origin. He does so as a man, as an American, and as a Republican mindful that the Republican Party took its origin in the principles and practices of Abraham Lincoln.

He stands for a vigorous, expanding and progressive economy in which all elements of our people -- labor, management, agriculture, the investor and the small businessman -- participate on a just and responsible basis. He will work toward the achievement of such an economy both as a central objective of U.S. domestic policy and a vital necessity for an effective U.S. foreign policy. He will do so as a man, as an American, and as a Republican mindful that the first truly progressive Administration in twentieth century America was that of the Republican President Theodore Roosevelt.

He stands for a foreign policy in which the United States will apply its resources and power toward the development of a just, peaceful and productive international order, established not through empire but through free and mutually helpful associations of states. He believes that the United States must

strive for peace imaginatively, tenaciously and affirmatively and
must also protect its security and freedom through a cool and
steady resistance to aggression, threats or attempts at domina-
tion from any quarter. He does so as a man, as an American, and
as a Republican mindful of his party's opportunity and duty to
build upon the rich heritage of constructive international leader-
ship bequeathed to it by Republican pioneers in international
statesmanship such as Theodore Roosevelt, Charles Evans Hughes,
Elihu Root and Henry L. Stimson.

Alert to our government's need for help from our univer-
sities, he is equally alert to our government's corresponding
responsibilities: to restore university resources consumed in
government work and to stand with our universities in their
historic and primary missions: to teach, to add to knowledge,
to replenish and deepen the reservoirs of talent, and to uphold
the principle of freedom in thought and inquiry.
