| Description: | Audio is scratchy In Washington, DC., 1200 National leaders put aside partisanship to join in a day-long citizen's conference to support a strong foreign aid program. Highlighting the occasion are speeches by former president Truman and President Eisenhower. 1200 National leaders gather at a Foreign Aid and Defense conference. CUS - Eric Johnston CUS - House minority leader, Martin. CUS - Secretary of State, John Dulles. MS - National leaders sitting in an audience setting. MS - Former President Truman speaking "... is Economic Assistance for other nations. There is a chance to move foreword. To do something affirmative ... This is our chance to take action against towards peace." President Eisenhower, "It is my convection that urgent as the out lay for our own missiles and other modern weapons may be, a strong program of military and economic aid is equally urgent. This is a strong statement but it is bare plain fact. What the ostrich like opponents of mutal security seem to be is saying is this 'Billions for Arms, but not one cent for Peace.'" | |
