That question is highlighted by one dramatic fact: the

” Khrushchey who one year ago was inyited to visit the nation

It is certainly the same Mr. Khrushchev. He represents
the same Communist system—still dedicated to achieving
world domination. He maintains the same objectives, the
same views and essentially the same tactics.
It is we who have changed our tactics. We tried arguing
' with Mr. Khrushchey in a kitchen. We tried impressing him
1 on a goodwill tour. We tried smiling at him in the spirit
1 of Camp Dayid.
Now we are trying confining him to the
i Island of Manhattan.
But Mr. Khrushchey was not impressed, deterred or confined in his efforts to build a Communist empire.
We have concentrated on standing up to Khrushchey—
/answering his arguments — of reacting to every crisis he

They have exploited anti-American

But we will use all the power, resources and energy at our command
to resist the further encroachment of
communism on freedom — whether
at Berlin, Formosa or new points of
pressure as yet undisclosed.
Second, peace requires an America that is planning, preparing and
striving for disarmament and other
steps toward peace.

an
Amer-
ica standing shoulder to shoulder
with other free nations, united by
close ties of friendship, commerce
and mutual respect.
In the Jeffersonian tradition, we
recognize and welcome the irresistible momentum of the world revolution of rising expectations for a better life. We shall identify American
policy with the values and objectives
of this revolution.
Our purpose is not to buy friends
or hire allies — our purpose is to
defeat poverty. Our primary weapons must be long-term loans, technical assistance and regional development plans and our goal is to once
again influence history instead of
merely observing it.
Fourth, peace requires positive

Fifth, peace requires an America that stands as a model of harmonious relations to all the world

the lot of workers elsewhere.
World trade is more than ever essential to world peace. In the tradition of Cordell
