Conservatism The following speech entitled: “What Are Conservatives FiKht- ing For?” was delivered by Con gressman Bryan Dorn before the Human Events Political Confer ence in Washington on .July 1U: Conservatism is positive. Con servatism is Americanism. T h e conservative philosophy points to the future. It conquered the early American frontier. It cun and will conquer the new frontier of limit less space. Conservatism is t h e most modern, progressive, dyna mic, vibrant and successful eco nomic ami political philosophy ev er devised by man. What is Conservatism? Conservatism is a firm belief in the dignity and importance of each individual. Conservatism is a confidence in the individual, his moral ideals and principles. It is a confidence In his desire to rise ul>ove the worship of selfish col lective materialism. Conservatism is a confidence that the human be- this dynamic, progressive and suc cessful conservative philosophy. Conservatives are fighting to move the clock forward. We are fighting I to keep the wheels of progress turning forward. The ultraliberal and the socialist are trying to turn the clock backward to the worn-out decadent socialism of Rome, Greece, Egypt, and the an cient civilizations of the past. They are looking backward to government regimentation, to thought control, to collectivization. Yes, socialism is old. It is worn out. It has been tried and found \yanting for thousands of years. Ultraliberalism and socialism destroyed the Greek Republic. It corroded and corrupted individual initiative. It robbed the Greek citizen of opportunity. Socialism and liberalism shackled the Roman citizen, subjected him to regula tion, to autocracy and economic control. The Roman Republic fad ed into the Roman Empire with ing Is destined for a cultural and tits corruption, persecution, and spiritual enlightenment beyond the animat world. Conservatives be lieve that man is created in the image of God. Conservatives be lieve that man can govern him self. We believe that “the least governed are the best governed.“ Conservatism is dedicated to in dividual opportunity and responsi bility. Conservatives believe that man is capable of thinking for himself, of making decisions and of self discipline. The century old longing of con servatives blossomed forth in its fullest flower with the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and its 8i.ll of Rights. Conservatives today are fighting to preserve the principles enunciated in the Declaration of Independence. We are fighting to conserve for all times the Con stitution of the United States, as written. We are for individual liberty. We are for preserving for future generations our dynamic economic philosophy which flour ished under Constitutional govern ment. This economic order, which created out of the most undevelop od continent in the world the highest standard of living in all history. Yes, Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, and even south ern North America in Mexico had their ancient and highly developed civilizations. The most undevelop ed, the greatest wilderness in all the world was central North Am erica until the coming of the Pilgrim Fathers with a burning desire for individual liberty and economic opportunity—men and women who sought to escape from the ultraliberal and from State control of Europe. Yes, this dy namic philosophy of conservatism created an arsenal of democracy for all the free world. Conserva tism served the cause of freedom in three world wars with its fan tastic industrial production. Con servatism sponsored the profit mo tive, the capitalistic system that became the wonder of the world. We are fighting today to preserve this capitalistic, opportunity, free enterprise system for the United States and for the entire free world. We want our country to continue to be the arsenal of free dom, the heart and core of oppor tunity with pipelines of freedom into South America, Africa, Asia —a pipeline of example, of inspira tion. The conservative American free enterprise opportunity system gave to this most undeveloped con tinent more radios, more tele phones, more TVs, more autos, than all the rest of the world com bined. The highest wages, the best working conditions, and more opportunity for the working man. This system created for the United States a large percentage of the world’s improved highways, rail roads, and industrial capacity. More important, it created in Am erica over half of the world’s churches, schools, scientific labor atories, daily circulation of news papers, magazines, libraries — all of this and more is possible under a government of the people, by the people and for the people. It is possible under a Bill of Rights which guarantees trial by jury, freedom of worship, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, the right to own property, free dom from confiscation by the state , . . This same conservative philoso phy of individual freedom, indi vidual opportunity could develop South America, Africa, and the undeveloped areas of the world to day. It is the only proven philoso phy—political and economic—that can develop the undeveloped areas of the world. We want to move forward with government edict by men rather than by law. The Founding Fath ers of this Republic escaped from a system of state control, unelect- j I'd officials, a system of colleetivi zution where human beings were only grains of sand on the sea shore to be shoveled by the mas ters of the state. Yes. conserva tives of today are fighting to pre serve for the future our dynamic philosophy. The only difference between the national socialism of Adolph Hit ler and the ultraliberal of America today is the goose-stepping Ger man Army. Hitler sought to en force socialism by military con quest. The untraliberal in America today seeks to spread the same philosophy by the Fabian ap proach. There is no real difference between the philosophy of the pseudo-liberal in the United States today and that of Benito Musso lini fucism. Hitler, Mussolini, and the American liberal all advocate socialized medicine, federal control of the schools, strict economic con trols, a rubber-stamp Congress, excessive government spending, a government dominated court, an utter lack of confidence in the in dividual to govern himself at the local level. What are conservatives fighting for? We are fighting today to conserve the great American dream. We are fighting for a sound dollar. We are for a balanc ed budget. We are for reduction of the national debt with its stu pendous ever-growing and rising rate of interest. We are for free dom from excessive taxation, usur pation and confiscation. We are for freedom from fear—fear of a Federal Gestapo, from Federal bureaucratic autocracy. We are for freedom from the excessive edicts and decrees of unelected government officials. We are for States’ Rights, a maximum of freedom in local government. We are for a Supreme Court respon sible to the people. Conservatives are for the free enterprise oppor tunity system of economics. We are for freeing this dynamic force from Federal Government shackles and turning it loose on the pover ty, misery, and ignorance of the undeveloped areas of the world. Yes, we are for discipline—in the home, in the schools, in society, in our relations with one another. We are for a disciplined democracy with duties and obligations as well as privileges and opportunities. We believe this discipline and re straint should be imposed, how ever, by written laws and not by the whims of bureaucratic officials or by a power-mad court. Conser vatives believe that man can gov ern himself. We are fighting to preserve that belief. Conservatism, is a manifestation of a belief in the individual. Liberalism, on the other hand, is a belief in collecti vization, control, and regulation. Liberalism expresses no confidence in the people’s ability to govern at the local level. The foundation stone of liberalism is usurpation, thought control, and regulation of the individual' from the cradle to the grave. Conservatives are fighting to preserve dignity of the individual. We have confidence in his morality. -We are fighting to preserve for future generations the same opportunity we have had as a nation and as individuals. ADOPTION OF DAUGHTER Mr. and Mrs. James P. Fulp are receiving congratulations upon the adoption of a seven pound daughter, Kathryn, born on Mon day, June 18. Mrs. Fulp is the former Virginia Anderson, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Roy An derson. In a recently conducted poll by the National Federation of Independent Business, 69% of the nation’s independent busi ness people expressed approval of the bill introduced by Cong ressman Kohvaski to permit retired people drawing Social Security to earn up to $2400 per year without pen .. allies. | X * * * At present retired peo- pie are per- milted to earn up to $1200 per year. After this, t h e y give up $1 In c. W. Harder benefit for every $2 earned in excess of $1200 per year up to $17(10 per year. After that, they forfeit $1 for every St earned. ♦ * * Thus, at present. If a retired person makes $1700 in a year, he or she loses $250 in Social Security payments. The maxi mum benefit is only $124 per month, the average is $78 Thus, for the average making this amount of money in addi tion to the pension, the monthly benefits are cut to less than $50. * * * Therefore, the btil by Cong ressman Kolwaskl seeks to correct one 0 f the most fantas tic situations of the times. * * * It is quite obvious that most people under today’s prices cannot live In anything ap proaching decency on a pension of loss than $1,000 per year. It is also equally as obvious that the benefits are not a free hand out from government, or man na from heaven, because both the recipient and his or her employers have been com pelled tv> contribute to a fund to pay . ose benefits. ,t\ Nji 1 .nn' (■vnnowv f lUiiltim Thus, severely limiting the amount of additional income a recipient can make is some what akin to the situation that would exist if an insurance company refused to pay on an annuity policy unless the pol icy holder agreed to conditions laid down by the company. * * * Additionally, it is quite odd that retired people should be discouraged from making addi tional income at the same time a drive is on to boost social security deductions on the basis that elderly people can not pay for medical care. * * * In addition, there is a sheer economic waste involved here. People vary greatly in their physical stamina in the late sixties. Many people are quite active for many years after reaching this age. Many wo men in their sixties, experi enced from raising their own families, can earn $1800 per year caring for children. Many men are quite capable of doing light clerical work, serving as watchmen, and serve In a host of other capacities. * * * There is also a human re spect. Many people, if forced t 0 do nothing productive, quick ly fade and die. This is espe cially true if forced to exist on a pension that keeps them on the edge of want. * * a Eskimos of the Ear North, because is requires full vigor merely to exist, have the cus tom of leaving their old people sitting out of the ice to die of exposure and starvation. It would seem that with the re strictions placed on those who are drawing on the Social Se curity fund they have contribut ed to, that there must be a sub stantial number of Eskimos making policy in Washlngtor 1 SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE The Roe# for Spaco ON OCTOBER A 1957, and shortly thoroaftar on Novamber 3, 1957, the Soviot Union stunned the world with ita Sput niks I and II—the first artificial earth aatellitas in history to ba successfully orbitad. In par- forming these magnificent sci entific feats, ths USSR scored tremendous psychological and propaganda victoriea in ths cold war. The USA was caught nap ping, having earlier passed up requests by the Army’s Dr. Wernher von Braun for permis sion to send a satellite space ward with an Army Jupiter mis sile. FOR INSTANCE, the USSR orbited the sun first on Janu ary 2, 1959, hit the moon on October A 1959, and then on April 12, 1961, Soviet Cosmo naut Gagarin reportedly made the first manned flight into space. After our Astronauts Shepard and Grissom made sub orbital flights in 1961, Cosmo naut Titov made 17 orbital flights later in the year, before we made even one orbital flight. SINCE Sputnik I, we have put 229 objects into space as against 42 for the USSR. We have explored more areas of space than the USSR, and, by and large, our space shot ex periments have been more re fined and sophisticated. The rest of the world, however, gen erally has the idea that we rank behind the Soviets in space be cause of their more spectacular achievements. However, this past week, we staged a space spectacular of our own when we sent up a communications satellite which transmitted TV pictures from the USA to Eu rope and then from Europe back to the USA on the following day. The first TV pictures dis played a US flag waving in front of the Telstar antenna with “America, The Beautiful” and “The Star Spangled Ban ner” playing for sound purposes served to stimulate patriotism ; and to emphasize to all viewers ' that this was a USA space spectacular. THE FACT that Telstar was deve’arod by our free enterprise system points up the impel tar.c? of providing a place for free enterprise to operate in space In conjunction with US govern ment space ventures. There la now ponding in tho Senate- stalled by a “liberal” filibuster —an Admlniatratlon-backed bill to provide for tho establish ment, ownership, operation, and regulation of a commercial com munications aatelllta system. OUR achievement with) the Telstar satellite, along with the space-flights by our brave as tronauts and other space ac complishments, emphasises the importance of stressing devel opment of a superior space pro gram. These achievements have done much to offset the com munists' greatest cold war vic tory to date, tho successful launchings of Sputniks I and II. THE ENTIRE race for space superiority is tied directly to the cold war, whether the launches be for military or non military purposes. The hot war of the future may be fought from outer space, and it is even possible that whichever nation controls space or the moon may control the earth. IF WE ARE to maintain our freedom and survive as a na tion, we must properly allocate our national resources. Defense without frills and with the bare minimum of waste must come first in national spending pri orities, and space explorations must also rate top priority bill ing as they are tied in directly with our national security. Ev erything else in the national budget must fall in line behind these top priority items. I DISAGREE with President Kennedy on many domestic is sues which I feel are socialistic in nature and unnecessary. I also dissent on many aspects of his foreign policy, but, on tho whole, he has done well in pro viding a strong national de fense—except for an anti-mis sile capability and the RS-70 bomber program—and he is to be commended for giving great emphasis to space exploitation and achievements.

When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar sifted through a lace doily to achieve pattern. Long coots with matching skirts give fashion-conscious women lots of milage. The overblouse can be print or plain or first one and then another. The plain-colored coat can be worn with a coordinated print dress.

There is an evil angle to it that our Government and our retired people haven’t faced up to yet. “My husband retired nearly two years ago. He went through all the folderol of getting his Social Security payments started on time. And from the day his first Government check arrived—I don’t think he ever really believed it would come—he has been a convert to Social-Security-ism. Boy, is he a convert! “He won’t touch any job. He was offered an advisory position with one company at exactly seven times as much money as Social Security is paying him. He has another chance to go to work on a contract job for one year and get four times what the Social Security check gave us. His mouth v/atered at both offers, but he was afraid. He would lose his Social Security check while he was work ing. He might not get it back. Oh, he couldn’t do THAT! “So what have I got for a hus band? I’ve got a Social Security bum „,. ” • * * “Why don’t you stop writing so much about the retirement glories of Arizona, California and Flo rida? Haven’t you ever heard of Louisiana? Ruston, Louisiana, for instance? “We have ail the advantages the other three states have, and few of the disadvantages. We have just enough cold weather to kill bothersome insects and plant diseases. We have such fine cli mate that there is no season when we want to leave. We don’t have earthquakes, deserts or tropical storms. We do have fishing, boat ing and year-around golf and gardening. We have plenty of room, too • • • “Those wives who don’t enjoy having their husbands home in retirement simply aren’t well ad justed. “My retired husband collects old clocks. He has them all over the house. And they are running and striking all the time. But that’s all right. “I have dogs, and for my sake he likes them. They have muddy feet, and shed hairs all over the furniture. Clocks don’t do this. My husband never reminds me of this ...” • • • “Why should I let a money grabbing lawyer take care of my estate? I have two sons. Each has a key to my house. When I die they can come and go as they please until they dispose of my belongings. Money I have in the bank has been put in the joint names of myself and my two sons. Real estate I own can be rented or sold by my two sons, with the benefits equally shared. What debts 1 have will be taken care of by my two boys ...” (Whew! What a field day the lawyers will have with this one.)
