At his new. conference In Wash-
initan. this week President Ken
nedy cam face to fact with a
quettion that had to M lacea toon
r or later. Th cver-cautioua As
ancialed Press, recognising th po
litical siroifieanc of th question,
put it thu way in its news report
this morning:
"President Kennedy waa asked
(by a reporter) at thi, his 17th
news eonferenc ia Washington,
what had happened SINCE LAST
YEAR to cause Dim to aay imuw
that th United States possesses
unparalleled etrengtn,
The Implications of th question
are clear. I hey are:
"Why did you claim during your
campaign that th United Slates
waa dangerously behind th USSR
in power capabilities for the fore
aeeable future, that this situation
imperiled America and the tree
world, that you intended, if elect
ed, to change this situation and to
cur it, and that in fact a vot for
you was a voti for security we
DID NOT HAVE:
In reply, according to th news
report this morning, th President
noted that a number of people out
aid hia official family had also
aaid in th past that th United
Statea waa in danger of lagging
behind Russia. H quoted former
President Eisenhower aa having
aaid this country was "somewhat
behind in th lonf rang missile
field."
Th dispalrhes add that Presi
dent Kennedy then ticked off a
number of defense moves under
taken in his administration and
aaid that "our judgment "as of
now" is that the United States
need not trade places with anyone
els in the world." He added:
"Th United Stales will maintain
th closest check on th capabili
ties not only of itself but of its
adversaries."
This, of course, is th bald truth:
In his campaign last year. Candi
dal Kennedy indulged in a form
of electioneering that hi not in the
best interests of our country. Such
campaigning is not new. It has
been don often enough before, in
on form or another.
It never was in th best Inter
ests of our country. But, in the
past, we could afford it. Never
oeiore aid we iac powenui en
emy who is dedicated t our des
truction. We can't afford such election
campaigning methods any more.
Th danger is too great that our
enemy may accept aa th truth
statements that are mad to in
fluence votes and attack us be
cause he think w ar weak and
that NOW ia th Urn to strike.
Bui
Let's not b too hard on our
young President. Many others, in
our political history, have done
what he did in his campaign. We
can b reasonably certain that in
his own aecret soul he wishes he
had done otherwise.
He has learned his lesson. It is a
hard lesson. Becaus he has learn
ed it, it may oe accepted as
certainty that he will HEED it
Lessons that ar learned the hard
wsy ar almost certain to be use
ful.
What he has learned in th grim
school of experience csn make
him far better leader In the
troubled yeara we face.

MUST DO IT NOW
ly Charles V. Stanton
Soma of our pacifiat-minded friends point to the Amer
ican Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and other organ
ization of veterans, aa "warmongers.." Having nerved in
uniform, aay these grossly mistaken people, the veteran
seek to lead the country into war.
Certainly nothing could be further from the truth. In
face, the moat ardent disciple of peace in thiat country is the
man, or the woman, who has worn the uniform of hia coun
try particularly the one who hag aeen and participated in
actual combat.
No one ia more anxious to avoid the horrors of war
than one who has known those horrors at first hand. No
one is more anxious to avoid the sacrifices war entails than
those who have made those sacrifices and known their
effects.
Today is Veterans Day
All over the country men and women who have served
in the armed services of the nation are being honored.
The celebration of this holiday takes many forms. Elab
orate parades are held in some localities, with thousands
of men and women in uniform. In other areas, such as
here in Douglas County, the day is celebrated more quietly.
But because we pause to honor those who have served
this country in its military, forces, some people will find
fault. We shouldn't give honor to those who have partici
pated in war, they'll asitert. To honor the military means
that we favor wars.
Defense Essential
We feel sorry for some of these people. They have
high motivation. They are so blinded by their idealism
that they fail to be practical.
But there are others for whom we have no sympathy.
They are the ones who deceitfully seek to arouse the naive,
deluded visionary to a false pacifism.
Because the veteran insists that an adequate defense
is necessary to our national preservation, he is branded
as a "warmonger" by the brainwashed pacifist and the
deceitful communist.
To some of these types, any uniformed body, even the
Boy Scouts, arouses a complaint of militarism.
But the fact is that the veteran is most sincere in his
desire for peace. But he is proud of America, proud of
the fact that he was privileged to serve in defense of his
country. He believes in the American Way. He feels that
the American Way is worth defending and that it can be
best defended by strength.
There is a stirring declaration in the current issue of
the Oregon Legionnaire, the official publication of the
American Legion Department of Oregon.
The statement: (
It Is the Americen Ltetan'i fervent prayer that there nvr
be an American veteran in futvr war. T that and, w of
rh lfin dedicate ourselves te rh tssk f fatrinf treat
natUnal resolve, a unity of aura n rh part of th American
people, that will serve dtrriw ta any wuM-ee aee.re.aor.
On this Veteran Day w remember th dead f these whe have
arrv4 liberty far u. It I ur rtlv t win the battle far
man' minds be In waaed between the cennlctlnf ideeleglas ef
todies communism and th farce ef freedom. Never ha
the chalUne been e freer. W hv dene It baler. W ean
and must de It new.
No Alternative
Some people will probably look upon that statement as
being militant. But it Is not militancy to insist upon one's
freedom and the freedom of one's country, even though
war be involved.
There is another statement that Is being heard over
the world today. That statement is "Better Red than
dead." Then there are those who would reverse the words,
"Better dead than Red." But neither statement leaves
room for compromise.
And that is the way of communism. Kither the in
dividual becomes Red, subservient to Red authority, or he
sutlers death.
Many people of the world have never known freedom.
They have been in subjection throughout centuries. Some
have been subject to nbsolute monarch. Others were, and
are, held in subjection by dictators some benign, some
cruel. Others have lived in colonies, owing. tribute to a
"mother" country. Consequently our talk of freedom often
falls on deaf ears. But the promises of communism offer
more than the past has held. Thus the uneducated are
easy victims for communism. Slavery to them is nothing
new. Politics is of little importance to an empty belly.
But here in the United States we crave freedom. We
want no master. We stand together in our allegiance to
preserve that freedom It is not warmongering to pro-

Editorial Comment
WE WILL GET THE JOB DONE
Pendleton East Oregenian
The chief engineer for the state Highway Commission, W. C.
Williams, recently told the League of Oregon Cities that it would
cost 1)85 millions to completely moderniie Oregon's primary and
secondary highways.
The editor of the Oregon Stalcsmsn, a former governor, Charlrj
A. Sprague, takes a look at Mr. Williams' estimate and aays:
"We shouldn't be frighlercd over estimates of future costs. It is
like looking back over a long grade, and then ahead. If you look
ahead first it seems as though you will not make it to the top.
If you look back and note how much you have climbed you ar
encouraged to push on."
Oregon has climbed far. At last accounting, Oregon had pro
grammed more of its part of the federal highway program than
any other atate. Recalling the evidence we came upon on. a trip
through many states early this year we can readily accept that
statement In no state did we see as much accomplished as has
been done on the two federal highways in Oregon, 30 and 99.
The work on 30 and 9a will be completed because the federal
highway program dictates that it must, and there will be liberal
federal assistance on it. The other highway jobs in the state that
must be done will be done. We say this with assurance because
Oregon has a highways history that assures it. Oregon pioneered in,
financing its highway work with a tax on gasoline. Oregon has
had a highway commission system that has brought into aervic
for the stale its most able men, who have given their experience
;n business and their good judgment to the expenditure of largo
sums of money for highways, without a taint of politics or corrup
tion, which have marred the highway building programs of so many
states.
Oregonians have made it plain for many years that they are
willing to pay for better highways. They know that the expenditures
'or good highwaya save them money in the end. And the program
they want will continue to be administered by the state's most
able citizens. Because of the record of highway commissioners in
thia state it is a service that the most able of Orcongians aspire to.
Mr. Sprague is right. We have come a long way up the hill
and having done that we know we can make our way to th
crest. We will.

nity upon ita completion.
