FOREIGN POLICY OF U.S.
TRUMAN HITS AT REPUBLICANS
(Rec. 11 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Apl. 16. The former President, Mr Truman, today accused the Eisenhower Administration of playing “political tricks” with the nation’s foreign policy and security. He called for an end to “political bickering” on matters of national survival and urged the Democrats and Republicans to unite behind a foreign policy which would strengthen the free nations and hold them together. He said all Americans should back a foreign policy with these fundamental aims:
“First, let us keep the free nations together for a common purpose, and that is to defend our common freedom, and to uphold the principles of international peace and order. “Second, to strengthen in every way we can the weaker members of the free nations of the world and to develop the underdeveloped areas of the world so that all may have enough to eat, enough to wear, and a decent place in which to live. “Third, we must keep our country strong in every way, militarily and economically.”
