Talmadge Urges
Stronger Policy
Against Russia
Atlanta — (GPS) “Communism
must be swept from the Waestern
Hemisphere” and never again be al
lowed to return, declared U, S. Sen.
Herman E, Talmadge in a speech be
fore the 212th annual meeting of the
Saint Andrew’s Society of Savannah,
just held in the seaport city.
The former Georgia governor, who
was re-elected without opposition in
the recent general election to a sec
ond six-year term in the U, S. Senate.
called for a strong foreign policy re
garding communistic encroachment in
this hemisphere, and a strict enforce
ment of the Monroe Doctrine.
Talmadge supportied President John
F. Kennedy's firm demand that nu
clear missile bases in Cuba be dis
mantled but said he regretted that
strong action against the communistic
Castro regime was so long in coming.
“The missiles apparently are being
moved out, but, in violation of the
Monroe Doctrine, the Western hemis
phere still is menaced by an alien
philosophy,” he asserted.
Issuing a stern warning against “a
weak and vacilitating foreing policy,”
especially in protecting the security
of this hemisphere, the Georgia junior
Senator declared:
“Whenever we have been firm and
unmistakably shown where we are
going and what we are doing, com
munism has retreated.”
However, he added, there have been
Soviet advances whenever the United
States has been “weak and submis
sive.”
Once communism is cast out of the
Western Hemisphere, “we must serve
notice—unequivocably and positively
—that it will never again be allowed
to return,” the Senator emphasized.
Sen. Talmadge also expressed con
cern over fiscal policies of the nationa!
government, citing deficit spending
“in the billions of dollars,” a drain on
U. S. gold reserves which is reaching
“laraming proportions,” and a nat
ional debt of more than S3OO-billion.
Pointing to critical rises in the cost
of living, the declining value of the
dollar and the dwindling of gold at
Fort Knox, Talmadge, who is a mem
ber of the Senate Finance Committee,
declared:
“A pay-as-you-go governmient seemg,
to be a thing of the past. A balanced
budget apparently has been forgot
ten.”

American farmers, each now feeding more than 25
people, will have to meet increased demands . .. Did |
you know that right now over 10 million people have '
jobs handling the products the farmers provide?
And, as American farmers provide food in adequate
amounts, it costs less of your salary than it did a few
years ago .. . P

A Thought for Today - By: Edsel W. Bryan
“And oftentimes, excusing of a fault,
Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse,
As patches, set upon a little breach,
Discredit more in hiding of the fault
Than did the fault before it was so patched.”
—Shakespeare.
