S GQ D li D 0 lTQ GD LTD n 3 Every newspaper headline makes it clear that this is a testing time for Americans. The Cuban crisis is one of a long and con tinuing series of challenges we face. At a time of challenge, the American future depends upon the American people: what we think, what we do, how we rise as individuals to the task of meeting great challenge with great achievement. We each have a part to play. Yours is described in the timely new citizen action guide "Challenge to Americans" of fered here which puts the crisis of the moment in the true perspective of the struggle which is likely to continue for years. The world situa tion is Mr more complex than the emergencies of daily headlines. As President Kennedy says: "We are challenged by the revolution of communism. The Communists seek power through conspiracy, terror, aggression and deceit. They exploit and corrupt legitimate revolutionary forces, scavenging on poverty, ignorance, despair. "And also we are challenged by the revolution of hope in con tinents long captive to stagnation and despair. "We are challenged by the revolution in science and tech nology bringing new boons and new dangers to humanity. "We ate challenged by the revolution in international relation ships. Nation has begun to work with nation to solve mankind's common problems. New international bodies are exploring un charted paths of world cooperation in the interests of world Wide peace, justice, and freedom." In an age of revolution, we dare not forget that we are heirs to FREEDOM IS N0TA GIFT BUT ATASK a continuing, liberating revoIufion.Ve dare not fail to press that revolution forward.to perfect democracy at home, to make it an example to the world. Only in earning our freedoms over again can we strengthen them. Only by extend ing our freedoms to all mankind can we pre serve them. This we can and must do as individuals. Va must accept our responsibilities as we do our rights, the two are today inseparable.Vle must look upon national challenge whether it is art immediate challenge in Cuba, Berlin, or Asia, or the continuing longer range challenge as a personal opportunity to do something im portant for our country. Y.'e must seek to excef. to stand up, to stand out: in our private lives, our homes, our work, communities, schools, in a!! places, in a' things! A good way to begin is with a mature understanding of what we are up against and what you personally can do about it. You will find exactly that in the timely new booklet, "Challenge to Americans." Endorsed by Presidents Kennedy and Eisenhower, approved by the Department of State, it is an indispensable information and action guide for the purposeful citizen. We need many such citizens. We need them now. We need you your value as an individual, your power as the source of our national strength, your aid in deciding our common future. Your copy of "Challenge to Americans" is free. You can be learning from it and you can be acting upon it in a matter of days. Write CHALLENGE, Box 1776, New York 17, Ne.v York.
