The best possible proof that RADIO FREE EUROPE is doing its job ... telling the truth to combat communist lies! The truth hurts the Reds. It loosens their strangle hold on the oppressed countries of East Europe. Exposes their lies. Helps the Free World. V • / But RFE needs your dollars to stay on the air. Dollars that pay for transmitters, supplies, news analysts, announcers. Keep the truth alive! rr STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT EISENHOWER o • V -4 / V v “The Crusade for Freedom is part of America’s historic championship of human liberty. Its mission is two fold. It Reminds us of the deadening restrictions on the individual imposed by those political systems which can not tolerate freedom. Through its support of Radio Free Europe it helps to assure the people of the satellite V countries that their aspirations ‘for truth and justice find strong support in our land.” — : t .. TEN YEARS OF THE CRUSADE <* t Since 1950 the American people have been supporting the Crusade for Freedom, which enables Radio Free Europe to earn on ’round-the-clock truth broadcasts to the captive peoples behind the Iron Curtain. The en slaved people of Eastern Europe continue to struggle against the oppppssion of their Communist leaders. To keep t from being inundated by the constant flow of Communist lies, they turn to Radio Free Europe for the truths During these ten years. Radio Free Europe has broken the Communist monopoly on information, to East Euro peans. r By providing the means for combatting Red lies and distortions, Americans have helped to frustrate Soviet efforts to turn the 76,000,000 inhabitants of the sotelli te nations into Communist robots of aggression. To strengthen the hope of peace, we must keep the principles of freedom alive among these victims of Soviet op pression. This work must go on so long as Communist op pressidn, lies and aggression go on.
