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

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.
Sincerely,
(^ot printed at government expense)

A pin-striped suit in crisp seer
sucker? Wear it with a dark
sweater and a bright scarf on a
day you’re driving out in the
country.
Soft effects for suits are achieved
with lingerie blduses, one with a
lace-paneled front or a lacy, low-
necked sheer. Accessorize these
with a white, dainty hat for a
white blouse.
Bulky-type, fancy-knitted sweat
ers in a cardigan style are good
toppings for skirts. To dress them
up, wear one of the new two or
three strand colored necklaces
with several different types of
beading.
Want to look sophisticated either
in a basic dress or three-piece
suit. Hang a sautoir (a necklace
with a tassel) on the overblouse
and add earrings which go with
the necklace.

IT TAKES ALL KINDS—WHEN RETIREMENT COMES
Helen’s Favorite:
Lazy Spice Cake
1 cup canned applesauce
Milk
1 package white cake mix
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 egg
Substitute applesauce for 1
cup milk and mix according to
packaged cake mix directions.
Add egg and spicei during mix
ing. Bake in a rectangular
9x9x2-inch pan In a moderate
(350-F.) oven for 45 to 50 min
utes. 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.
IT takes all kinds, when retire-
1 ment comes—
"Sodel Security has become a
narcotic to many of our retired
people. 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.)
