Even adherence to this Republican conviction finds the f ederal Government carrying immense responsibilities . . . it must develop a national defense in which our citizens can have confidence ... it must manage its fiscal and financial affairs as to protect the citizens savings, 5 pensions and insurance from erosive inflation . . . integrity in government is mandatory-” • NATIONAL DEFENSE -— "Neither effort nor expense has been spared to provide a sure defense . . . our country is, over-all the strongest power on earth, both militarily and economically.’’ • FOREIGN POLICY — “America’s unchanging goal for decades has been the pursuit of peace—through negotiation from a position of strength, in cincert with other nations that share our ideals ... We and our loyal friends are striving to make it possible for the new or less industrialized nations to strengthen themselves ... so that all together can live and prosper in peace."
• WORLD PEACE—“During the sever years just past: South Korea sustained . . . Iran saved . . Trieste resolved . . . Austria free . . . Stability has returned to Jordan and Lebanon. Today there is no war. The international atmosphere recently shows signs of improvement.”
• NEGOTIATION—“Now we seek iron -clad self-enforcing agreements on the grave issues of nuclear test suspension, arms control, the status of Germany and Berlin ... we shall continue to approach the task with patience, firmness and candor.” • FISCAL POLICY—“We must first, make the national need our sole guide for expenditures. Extravagence and security are mutually hosti'e . .'. Republicans believe America is tired of a constantly griwing debt, we want to stop the cowardly habit of passing out own obligations as a mortgage to our children . . do we want to saddle the taxpayer with even greater taxes? Republicans say No ” • EDUCATION—“. . . a program for constructing great numbers of additional classrooms. But, again, the Republican policy is to help the states help themselves—not to allow a Federal take-over.” • HEALTH AND WELFARE—“The Department of Health and Education and Welfare has spent over $1 billion in Federal aid for medical research seeking to find cures for killing and crippling diseases . . . at the same time we are determined that the Federal government is not going to displace the family doctor.” • DOLLAR VALUE—“Many politicians seem to believe that money by the bale can be printed without shrinking—a kind of sanforized dollar. We know better! ... it is the unshakable aim of the Republican Party to make certain that your dollar will buy today and tomorrow as much as it did yesterday.” . • PRICES—“In the seven years just preceding 1953 our general price structure went up an unconscionable 48 per cent. In the seven Republican years since 1953 the price rise has been held to 10 per cent.” • SPENDING AND DEBT—“If we are to hold down pa-ices, one thing *’ we must do is to avoid excessive government spending so that you may have more money for the things you want yourself. The Republican program this year avoids any increase in the debt. Next year that debt will be reduced by a substantial amount.” • JOBS AND WAGES—“More Americans are working than ever before. Real per capita income has never been higher. This is true prosperity.”
• FAITH IN AMERICA—“America’s economic strength is not in Washington, D. C. nor in public spending. It is in the creativeness and [ industry and spirit of our people.” • INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY—“It is our children who live at the forward edge of history ... we must not by our actions or inaction today, tarnish the bright prospects for that future.”
