is a reassuring document. There
is nothing namby-pamby about it.
It seems to come straight from
the shoulder.
f I f jF I n7 n 3 n a a n r n
For example, he says:
"We dare not forget today that
we are the heirs of that first
revolution (which created our na
tion) Let every na
tion know, whether it wish us
well, or ill, that we shall pay
ANY price, bear any burden,
meet any hardship, support any
friend or oppose any foe in order
to assure the survival and suc
cess of LIBERTY."
If we still have that kind of mor-
communism will be met and de -
feated. It is up to US to prove
we have it.
He soes on
"To those old allies whose cul
tural and spiritual origins we
share, we pledge the loyalty of
faithful friends. United, there is
little we CANNOT do,
Divided, there is little we CAN
do for we dare not meet a pow
erful challenge (if we are) at
odds and split asunder."
That sounds reassuringly like
the spirit of Benjamin Franklin
when at the solemn ceremonies
attending the signing of our Dec
laration of Independence he stood
up and said to his associates in
the draiting of that immortal doc
ument: "We must all hang to
gether or assuredly we shall all
hang SEPARATELY."
He says:
"To those new states whom we
now welcome to the ranks of the
free, we pledge our word that
one form of colonial control shall
not have passed merely to be re
placed by a far more IRON tyran
ny. We shall not always expect
lo find them supporting our every
view. But we shall always hope j
to find them always supporting
their own freedom and to re
member that in the past those
who foolishly sought to find pow
er by riding on the tiger's back
inevitably ENDED UP iNbiuti.
That's a reference to the "smil
Ing young lady of Niger who went
for a ride with a tiger." Those
familiar with the jingle will re
call that "they came back
from the ride with the lady in-i
'side and Uie smile on the face
of the tiger."
. There he's speaking to the neu
trals and some of our weaker-
kneed allies who seem to think
thev can play along with- com
munism and come out smelling
like a rose. He is reminding them
that it CAN'T BE DONE.
Of disarmament, he says:
"Let both sides formulate for
the first time serious proposals
for INSPECTION and CONTROL
of arms."
There he's speaking flatly and
directly to Mr. Kroosh. He's say
ing: "WE WON'T STAND FOR
HIDING OUT ANY GUNS." ,
To our neighbors in the Western
Hemisphere and to the world at
large, he says:
"Let them know that we shall
join with them lo oppose aggres
sion ANYWHERE IN THE AM
ERICAS, and let EVERY OTH
ER POWER know that this hem
isphere intends to remain master
in its own house."
That's a declaration that THE
MONROE DOCTRINE STILL
LIVES.
It is an inspiring message.
Our new President got off to a
good start.

Non-Communist World
Hails Kennedy Speech
LONDON (AP) - The non-Com-
munist world today hailed Presi
dent Kennedy's inaugural speech
as a stirring message of hope and
challenge. It gave special cheers
to his bid for renewed East-West
negotiations.
Hopes that Kennedy can ease
cold war tensions were also ex
pressed by three top Communist
leaders Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev, East Germany's Wal-
ter Ulbricht and Yugoslavia's'special friend, a feeling dating:
President Tito. In other Red sec
tors Kennedy was denounced or
ignored.
Cuban Prime Minister Fidel
Castro greeted Kennedy's speech
with an offer to make peace but
on his own terms. He said thp
United Stales must change its
"mistaken and absurd" policy to
ward his regime before any recon
ciliation is possible.

Appling said that the McNary,

the state would like to get as
much of it as it could.
'We have on many occasions
urged federal officials to hasten
the transfer of the lands in ques
tion," Appling said. "We shall
continue to do so."
Barton also criticized the board
for investing $10 million in gov
ernment securities at 3 per cent
interest instead of investing them
in loans at 5V per cent interest.
Barton, who is chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, also
suggested that the legislature
should increase the percentage of
land value on which loans can be
made.
The law now permits the land
board to loan up to 50 per cent
of the value of rura) land, nothing

"I certainly agree," Appling
said, "that the Oregon laws which1
restrict the Land Board's lending
authority are archaic.
"However, the Land Board, as
purely an administrative body,
can merely attempt to operate
within thoje legal restrictions un
til the legislature sees fit to

Appling said he was glad that,

Kennedy lacked legal experience for the post and de-
manded a standing vote on the nomination. He alone
voted against it.
All other Cabinet members were approved unani

The President submitted I
the nominations to the Sen

committees had held hear

In addiiim to Kennedy, the new
Cabinet consists of Secretary ol

The Whita House arranged a
special afternoon- ceremony for,
the new Cabinet members to take
their oaths of oflice.
Senators of both parties joined
in praising the Cabinet selections.
But Allott described Robert
Kennedy as a man who is not

Allott contended. He said Unit

Ho said he was not opposed to
Kennedy's appointment because
he is the President's brother, but
said their relationship "may come

of the objectivity of a Cabinet
member's relationship with the
president
But warm words of praise came
from other senators.

The President's order calls for

As under the present program
the addilional supplies will be

At present this program oper

said.
Currently the distribution in

Bailey succeeds Sen. Henry M.

resigned after sue months in the
job to devote his whole time to

Bailey was one of the early
backers for the election of John

His name was placed in nomi

meeting by John M. Golden, na

necticut. Golden described the
new chairman as '"my own can
didate as well as that of the
President." He called Bailey a
'political scientist."
Gov. David L. Lawrence of
Pennsylvania seconded Bailey's
nomination and said he had the
experience needed for the job.
Like President Kennedy and
similar to all Democratic chair
