Advice To Youth
The late President Eisenho
wer left a word of advice to
youth: “It will soon be your
country to run. . .When you
have a just and reasonable ca
use, protest all you wish, but
remember that there can and
should be order and decency in
democratic protest. Stand up
and be counted when trouble
makers try to rob you of your
right to an education. If it
becomes necessary for the fo
rces of law and order to move
in and quell such disturban
ces, give them your support.”
At the conclusion of his brief
article, the General and for
mer President of the United
States said, “In this article
I have tried to set forth some
of the guideposts of the Middle
Way. I would hope with all
my heart that during the next
few years our country will unite
under the President In giving
this Common-Sense approach
a chance.”
