FRIDAY JUNE 15 1956
A LESSON in statesmanship:
1 I"I think it can be agreed that
there maybe more than one road
to final consummation of a policy
4 We are not concerned with a
problem in geometry where the
shortest distance between what
we have and what we want is a
straight line We are dealing not
with mathematical postulates we
are dealing with men
"None of us I feel sure have
the whole truth in our understand
init Perfect understanding is an
attribute of God not of man It
Li however certain that we must
continue searching for understand-
ing I know that th'i United States
is
the country where sociological
research is taken most seriously
Much of that research is into the
factors that divide humanity I
would like to see similar research
into the factors that unite human-
ity And there are many I would
like to see research not into the
cultural differentiation of man
but into the cultural unity of man
into the factors which make men
brothers and not just points on
a statistician's graph From Ice-
land to New Zealand from Japan
to New York man is the same in
a :Us humanity When we come to
realize that and realize that the
man is not the same as his per-
sonal iron curtain of prejudices
we are more than halfway to the
fulfillment of our Ideals
"This is a strange world we
have inherited In moments of
frustration I actmetimes feel that
man has reached for the stars and
smeared his hands with primeval
mud We have penicillin and the
wonders of bacterial warfare We

CAP CADETS Vice Pres Richard Nixon shakes hand of cadet Maj Carroll Olney of Honolu-

' A
have rocket-powered bombing air-
craft and ox-drawn plows We
have atom bombs and—half the
world lit by flickering oil lamps
Is it possible that our technical
skill is surpassing our mental
stature? I do not believe so for I
have the profound faith in the po-
tentiality of man What seems ob-
vious is that we have a bad dose of
technological Indigestion and
should really take greater care
with our diet It needs I think
a better balance It lacks a spirit-
ual and moral 'content In inter- -
national affairs we move—or stag-
ger—from expedient to expedient
and never quite catch up with
reality In national affairs we find
it difficult to follow the basic prin-
ciple of doing the greatest good
for the greatest number of people
because we do not know what is
the greatest good Yes it is a
puzzling world a disturbing world
but a supremely challenging world
a hungry man cannot eat a
voting paper We believe in meth
ads and ideals of democracy but
It must be an economic and social
democracy as well as a political
democracy In the midst of want
social inequality and poverty
democracy cannot long exist
This is an excerpt from an
address by President Sukarno of
the Republic of Indonesia before
theNational Press Club in Wash-
ington This young head of the
newest and third largest world
Republic in his recent state visit
to Washington literally captured
official Washington as no other
visiting head of state has in many
years
