Inaugural Address Hailed as Historic Bid To Freedom-Loving Peoples
One-World Flavor
Of Speech Sinking
In On Congressmen
' Washington U.R) Con
gressmen today hailed President
Eisenhower's second inaugural
address as an historic bid to the
freedom - loving people every
where to accept America's unsel
fish leadership for peace.
The brief and eloquent speech,
which Mr. Eisenhower delivered
after taking his second term oath
Monday, had a delayed-action
impact on Congres. The lawmak
ers had little time to ponder its
implications until today since
they, like the President, were
caught up in the hectic activity
of the three-hour inaugural pa
rade and the festive inaugural
ball that lasted into the small
hours of this morning.
By today, the strong one
world flavor of the President's
address was sinking in, and with
it, the recognition that Mr. Eis
enhower had staked out for this
nation unprecedented, global re
sponsibilities. Recognize, Accept Involvement
"We recognize and accept our
own deep involvement in the
destiny of men everywhere,"
Mr. Eisenhower had said. "We
must use our skills and knowl
edge and, at times, our substance
to help others rise, from misery.
however far the scene of suffer
ing may be from our shores."
Some conservatives in both
parties privately expressed mis
givings about the sweeping
pledge of long-term, no-strings
foreign aid implicit in those
words.
But their reservations were
drowned out, for the moment at
least, in a public chorus of bi
partisan praise.
"A magnificent speech," said
Sen. Mike Mansfield of Montana,
a leading Democratic member
of the Senate Foreign Relations
committee.
Mansfield said he was par
ticularly gratified that Mr. Eisen
hower had addressed his peace
appeal "to all the peoples of the
world." including those of Rus
sia, over . the heads of their
rulers.
Assures Russian People
Mr. Eisenhower's address,
which the Voice of America
beamed to the world in dozens
of languages, assured the people
of Russia that Americans "wish
them success" in their struggle
for more freedom and economic
improvement, and are waiting to
extend a hand of "friendshp" to
them when the Iron Curtain
goes up.
Some congressmen, while en
dorsing Mr. Eisenhower's broad
objectives, challenged the admin
istration to produce deeds, not
words.
"The words have been spok
en," said Sen. Joseph C. O'Ma
honey (D-Wyo.). 'The time for
leadership and action have ar
rived. It will be difficult.
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) said
Mr. Eisenhower "set forth goals
and objectives with which every
American will agree."
"Our task is to find means
that will achieve those ends,
Johnson added.
Other congressmen offered
praise without qualification.
Laid It On Line
Sen. Alexander Wiley (R-Wis.),
ranking GOP member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, said the President "laid
it right on the line, not only
to the American people but to
the world."
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson CD
Wash.) said "it was a very good
enunciation of a goal for our
foreign policy. We have never
had a goal. We've been flound
ering. He set it up."
Congressmen and diplomatic
observers, analyzing the Presi
dent's 2.000-word address, found
it in these major guidelines to
U.S. foreign policy during the
next four years:
1. America is irrevocably com
mitted to a role of world leader
ship, and will not retreat into
isolationism no matter how dif
ficult or costly our "involve
ment" in distant troubles may
become. Within earshot of for
mer President Hoover, architect
of the "fortress America" con
cept, Mr. Eisenhower firmly tied
his modern Republicanism to the
conviction that "no nation can
longer be a fortress, lone and
strong and safe . . . isolation is
an impossibility."
2. American economic and
technical aid will not be restrict
ed to military allies, but will be
offered, with no strings attach
ed, "wherever in the world a
people knows desperate want."
To those countries, particularly
in Asia and Africa, where na
tionalist pride is touchy and
neutralist spirit strong, Mr. Eis-
hower offered assurance that
they may "honorably receive"
America's help, "for we no more
seek to buy their sovereignty
than we would sell our own."
3. U.S. policy toward Commu
nist satellite nations was spell
ed out in terms designed to reas
sure the Kremlin- that a coun
try which slips the yoke of Mos
cow domination will not auto
matically become anti-Commu
nist or a military ally of the
West. "We honor the aspira
tions of those nations which,
now captive, long for freedom,"
the President said. But "we seek
neither their military alliance
nor any artificial imitation of
our society."
4. America will re-assert its
historic claim to leadership of Revolution "does not fear" the I hopes that we have helped to I the world and working against the revolt within Its ranks of
colonial peoples struggling for "winds of change blowing inspire, we can help to fulfill peace. But international Commu- "men who love freedom,
national independence. The across the world from North 5. International Communism nism is suffering from the blow AJj
birthplace of the American Africa to the far Pacific. "These is the principal force dividing of "a fierce and mighty force" The Community Bisrwt &urktpuee
