Eisenhower's Cross of Iron Speech 1956

Found in The Gazette and Daily front page and continued on page 63, in York, Pennsylvania on Friday, 26 October 1956, Eisenhower's Cross of Iron Speech 1956.

Found on Newspapers.com

From page 63 of The Gazette and Daily, York, Pennsylvania, 26 October 1956, Friday, we clipped this concerning Eisenhower's Cross of Iron Speech.

Eisenhower had contended all along that a ban on H-bomb testing could jeopardize national security. Stevenson had argued, on the other hand, that there need be no such risk. Because any violation of the agreement would be quickly detected and the U.S. research could continue as always.

And, Eisenhower said, his administration would "go steadfastly on seeking safe and sound means for disarmament - so that history can never say that this generation left humanity to be crucified upon a cross of iron."

In his speech, the President mentioned struggle against Soviet domination in Hungary as well as in Poland, and said those engaged in the struggle for freedom "are men and women whom America has never forgotten - nor ever will."

Eisenhower painted an optimistic picture of the American economy, as well as the outlook for eventual enduring peace int he world.

Asking "how true is it that the opposition enjoys some monopoly on the invention of new ideas," the President went on to inquire:

"Was it they - or we - who inspired and launched the greatest highway building program in our history? (The Democratic highway bill was the bill passed in Congress in 1955.)

"Was it they - or we - who proposed the program of atoms-for-peace?

"Was it they - or we - who conceived our boldest proposal for disarmament - the 'open skies' offer mutual air inspection? "Was it they - or we - who went to Panama for the first conference of chiefs of state in oner-american history?"
