President John F. Kennedy's "Peace Speech"

President Anderson Members of the Faculty Board of Trustees Distinguished Guests My Old Colleague Senator Bob Bird Who Has Earned His Degree Through Many Years Of Attending Night Law School While I Am Earning Mine With Great Pride That I Participated in this In a city dedicated to the creation of the history and the realization of the public's business by sponsoring this institution with greater learning for all who wish to learn what their color or creed, the methodists of this area and the nation deserve the nation, thanks to all those who are today. From a university he must be a man from his nation, as well as a man of his time and I am sure that the men and women who carry the honor of graduating from this institution will continue to give from their lives of their talents, a high measure of public service and public support there are some more beautiful earthly things than a university wrote John Mayfield in his tribute to the universities of the University of the University and his words are equally true today that he did not refer to the fields of The Spplendids that he did not go to the Splendid Beauth, he was the camp that he was the camp that he was what he was a camp that he was what he was the camp, the splitters, the splitters, the Splended.

Said a place where those who hate ignorance can strive to know where those who perceive the truth can strive to make others see that, therefore, I have chosen this time and place to discuss an issue on which they abound too often and the truth also rarely the truth and that is the most important theme of the

peace

of the earth. Slave, I am talking about genuine

peace

, the type of peace that makes life on Earth worth living and a guy that allows men and nations to grow and expect and build a better life for their children, not only peace for Americans, but that peace for all men and women not only peace in our time, but peace in all time, I speak of the new war of war, it does not make sense in an age where the great war of war They can maintain large and nuclear invulating to nuclear forces and nuclear forces and surface forces without problems.

Forces makes no sense at a time when a single nuclear weapon contains almost 10 times the explosive force delivered by all the allied air forces in World War Weapon weapon that are assured so that the arguments are sure of the purposes of which they assure us that we use them is essential for them to wish, what it is, it is, it is essential, what is that is, that is, essential, what is, that is, it is to say, it is essential that they wish. Keeping of Peace But Surely The Acquisition of Such Ide Stockpiles Which Can Only Destroy and Never Create Is Not The Oss War and Frequently The Words of the Pursuers Fall On Deaf Ears But We have no more urgent task sub Say that is users to speeak of peace or world law or World Disarmament and That will be useless until the leaders of the Soviet Union adopt a more illuminated attitude, I hope they do.

From the Cold War and towards freedom and peace here at home, first examine our attitude towards peace in itself, many of us think that it is impossible for many to think it is unreal, but that is a dangerous belief of a belief that it leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable that humanity is condemned to be largely by the forces that we cannot control that we do not need to accept that our problems Therefore, man can be resolved by man, since it is not the greatest than those we do not want, we do not need ourselves.

And the spirit has often resolved the apparently insoluble and we believe they can do it again. I am not referring to the infinite absolute concept of universal peace and the goodwill of which some fantasies and fans dream. The institutions on a series of concrete actions and effective agreements that are in the interest of all interested parties, there is no single simple key for this piece that there is no great magical formula that is adopted by one or two powers, genuine peace must be the product of many nations, the sum of many acts, it must be a dynamic change to comply with the challenge of each new generation so that it is a process of peace, since the interests of peace will be La Paz Families and Nations World Peace Like Community Peace Does Not Require That Each Man Love Neighbor it Requires Only That They Live Together In Mutual Tolerance Submitting ES Last Forever However Fixed Our Likes and Dyslikes May Seem The Tide of Time and Events Will Offen Bring Surprising Changes In The Relations Between Nations and Neighbors SO Let Us Persevere Peace Need Not Be Practical And War Need Not Be inevitable when defining our goal more clearly by making it more clearly And less remote, we can help all people to see him to attract his hope and advance irresistibly to him and second we re -be re -examine our attitude towards the Soviet Union, it is discouraging to think that their leaders can really believe what their propaganda is what is right.

The accusation that American imperialist circles are preparing to unleash different types of war that there is a very real threat that American imperialists unleashed by a preventive war That a long time ago, the fact that it has not really been, the fact that men were disturbed. is sad to read before soviet statements to perform the extent of the gulf Between us but it is also to warning to warning to the American people not to fall into the same trap as the soviets not to see only a distorted and wassh Impossible and Communication as nothing more than an Exchange of Threats no Government or Social System is so evil that its People Must Be Considering of the Lacking in Virtue as Americans We find commune deeply disgusting as a denial of personal freedom and dignity, but we can still take the Russian people in science in science in science Space in economic and industrial growth in culture in the acts of courage among the many features that the two people in history have not been stronger than that of the main world phrases in the history of history.

At least 20 million lost their lives, innumerable millions of homes and families were burned or farewell to one third of the territory of the nation, including the second bird of its industrial base, it became a moor. Because it would be destroyed in the first 24 hours and even in the Cold War that brings charges and dangers to so many countries, including the closest allies of this nation, our two countries have the heaviest loads because we are dedicating massive sums of money to weapons that could be better dedicated to fighting the ignorance of ignorance and the disease and the disease that are on the rise in a vitoderous and dangerous cycle a part of a part of the suspicious parenting of weapons of weapons like the other time.

In summary, both the United States and their allies, and the Soviet Union and its allies have a mutually deep interest in a fair and genuine peace and in maintaining the agreements of the arms race for this purpose are interests of the Soviet Union, as well as ours, and even the most hostile nations can trust and maintain those obligations of treaties and only the obligations of the treaties that are in their own interest people, but also entrust us to differences. The means by which these differences can be resolved and if we can not finish our differences, at least, we can help make the world safe for diversity, since in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air that we all appreciate the futures of our children and we are all mortal that we let ourselves reexorrate our attitude towards the cold war. of the third part of the third mortal.

Pointing out the finger of the trial, we must deal with the world as it may be and not as it could have been if the history of the last 18 years has been different, therefore, we must persevere in the search for peace in the hope that constructive changes within the communist bloc can bring solutions of scope that now seem beyond us, we must carry out our nuclear affairs in such a way that they occur in the communist interest in accordance with those who remember the genuine peace. The vital interests themselves. An adversary of the option of a humiliating retirement or a nuclear war to adopt that type of course in the nuclear era would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy or a desire for collective death so that the world ensures these purposes of the United States, the weapons of the United States are carefully controlled designed to deter and capable of selective use that our military forces are committed to peace and disciplined in self -esteem are instructions. and diplomats are instructed to avoid and avoid the use of selective use to the Military Forces.

The purely hostility of retention so that we can seek a relaxation of tensions without relaxing our God and on our part we do not need to use threats to demonstrate that we are resolved, we do not need to clog foreign transmission for fear that our faith is eroded. A more effective instrument for peace to develop it in a genuine world security system, a system capable of solving disputes based on the law to guarantee the safety of large and creation conditions in which final Community intervention to the communication of those who invite community intervention to war in war in war in war in the guenina of guenina in the war in the war in which the efforts of the guenina are made.

The Congo in the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent Have Been persistent and Patient Evite Criticism from Boch Sides We Have Also Tried To Set An Example for Others By Seeking To Adjust Small But Significant Differences With Our Own Closest Neighbors In Mexico and Canada Speaking of Other of other nations I wish to make one point Clear We are Bound to Many Nations by Alliances these Alliances Exist sopa operate and aems substantially overlap Our Commitment to Defend Western Europe and West Berlin for Example Stands without decrease due to the identity of our vital interests, the United States will not reach an agreement with the Soviet Union Expenses from other nations and other people not simply because they are our partners, but also because their interests and ours converge our interests converge, but not only in the defense of the borders of freedom, but must also follow the path of peace of peace and the purpose of people's policy with the future of people.

As this election does not interfere with the elections of others, the communist impulse to impose its political and economic system on others is the main cause of world tension today, since there is no doubt that if all nations could refrain from interfering with the self -determination of others, peace will ensure much more that this will require a new effort to achieve a world law, a new context for the world will require understanding between the world Soviets and the increase in life. THE PROPOSED ARRANGEMENT FOR A DIREC LINE BETWEEN MOSCOW AND WASHINGTON TO AVOID ON EACH SIDE THE DANGEROUS Delay Misunderstandings and MISREADINGS OF OTHERS ACTIONS WHICH MIGHT OCD AT A TIME OF CRISIS WE HAVE ALSO BEEN TALKING IN Geneva Limit the Intensity of the Arms Race and Reduces The Risk of Accidental War Our Primary The Long Range Interest insign, Geneva is a general and complete disarmament designed to take place in stages that allow developmentsParallel politicians to build the new peace institutions that would take the place of weapons that the search for disarmament has been an effort of this government, since the 1920s has been urgently that it has been urgently sought by the last three administrations.

Only the main area of ​​these negotiations in which the end is in sight, but where a new beginning is very necessary is in a treaty to prohibit the nuclear test of the conclusion of said treaty, so, so, so close and so far, it would verify the spiral arms race in one of its most dangerous areas, it would place the nuclear powers in a more effective position with one of the largest. It is important enough to return to our constant search that does not provide the temptation to give up all the effort or temptation to renounce our insistence on vital and responsible safeguards.

Therefore, I am taking this opportunity to announce two important decisions in this regard, the first President Kusov, Prime Minister, McMillan, and I have agreed that the high discussions of the levels, according to the hope, in accordance with the hope, in an early agreement in an early agreement in an agreement of the evaluation by the temperatory of hope. Be attenuated with the caution of history, but with our hopes, the hopes of all humanity in second place to make clear our convictions in good faith and solemn about this matter, now I declare that the United States does not propose to perform nuclear nuclear tests in the atmosphere as long as other states do not do it, so we will not be the first to resume such a statement is not a formal treatment.

Replace disarmament, but I hope it helps us finally achieve it, my fellow citizens, let's examine our attitude towards peace and freedom here at home, the quality and spirit of our own society must justify and support our efforts abroad, we must show it in the dedication of our own lives, since many of you who graduate today will have the opportunity to have the opportunity to do without paying in the peace of peace or in the national service or in the national service or in the national service or in the national service or in the national service or in the national But that they graduate today, we will have the opportunity for us to all have that we all serve us without paying lives to life, but that we have a daily life. to the age-on Faith that peace and freedom walk together in too many of our cities today the peace is not secure scholary freedom is incomplete it is the responsibility of the executive branch at all less less than levels of government local state and national to provide and protection Means Within Our Authority It is the Responsibility of the Legislative Bran at All Levels wherever the authority is not now Adequate to make it inmate and it is the responsibility of all citizens and all sections of this country to respect World peace when the path of a man, please, the Lord, the Scriptures tell us that it makes even their enemies in peace with him and is not peace in the lost analysis, basically a matter of human rights, to live our lives without fear that national interests breathe the right to breathe to nature.

Elimination of War and Arms Is Clearly In the Interest of Both No Treaty However Much May Be To The Advantage of All However Tightly It May Be Worded Can Provide Absolute Security Against The Risks of Disection and Evasion But It Can IF It is suffering Suficiently in the Interest of its siners offer Far More Security and Far Fewer Risks Than Anabated Uncontrolled Unpredictable Arms Race the United States as the World Knows Will Never Start a War We do Not Want a War We do not now Expect for War this ALREADY HAD ENOUGH MORE THAN ENOUGH OF WAR AND HATE AND OPPRESSION WE SHALL BE PREPARED IF OThers Wish It We Shall Be Alert To Try To Stop It But We Shall Also do Our Part To Build A World of Peace WHERE THE WEAK ARE SAFE SAFE AND THE STRON Task or Hopeless of its Success Confident and afarid We Must Labor on Not Towards A Strategy of Annihilation But Towards A Strategy of Peace
