| Description: | Ike Warns Mid-East on Reds. In a special address beamed to the Middle East, marking the Voice of America's 15th birthday, President Eisenhower restates American foreign policy aims, and warns against international Communism. Ike sits in what seems to be a Voice of America control room and speaks: "I believe that the well-being of the peoples of the Middle East requires the nations of that region to build up and strengthen their economies and their institutions." Record spins on a turntable, perhaps recording the speech? " Now we must face the fact that while we are trying to help build a world of freedom and justice among sovereign peoples, the masters of international Communism are working constantly to tear down that kind of world. Communism, according to all its own leaders, must be a system of international control and conformity. Thus, at is very heart, it is the complete opposite and enemy of any kind of nationalism. Its avowed program is to destroy totally the religions, governments, institutions and traditions of the Christian world, the Buddhist world, the Islamic world, the Judaic world and the world of every religion and culture. Communist rulers then propose to substitute a whole new system of thought and control, dictated from Communist Party headquarters. They think that a few theorists and rulers know what is best for everyone, and they are determined to drive everyone toward that kind of world." Anti-Communist propaganda. | |
