Here’s What Nixon, Kennedy Say—In Their Own Words—On Major Issues
By The Associated PressWASHINGTON — Seldom has
the United States had two such articulate opponents for president as Republican Richard M. Nixon and Democrat John F. Kennedy.
It may well be that they said so much—in so many places, in so many ways—that voters have forgotten some of the distinctions in their respective positions.
With the election at hand, here is an Associated Press compilation of salient statements on some of the major issues, foreign and domestic, in the candidates’ own words:
PRESTIGEKENNEDY —No amount of
oratory, no amount of claims, no unjustified charges can hide the harsh fact—behind the soothing words that our prestige has never been higher and Communist prestige never lower—that American strength relative to that of the Sino-Soviet bloc has been slipping and that of Communism has been advancing steadily.
NIXON—We have responsibility in avoiding resort to statements which tend to divide America and which tend to disparage America, and which in any way would encourage Chairman Khrushchev and his fellow dictators to believe that this nation, the leader of the free world, is weak of will, is indecisive, and is unsure of and hesitant to use her vast power.
★ ★ ★STRENGTH
KENNEDY —I think the United States is now as strong, certainly, as the Soviet Union, and stronger economically. What’s wrong is that they are getting stronger and we are standing still.
NIXON—We’re not perfect, but this is just the best country in the world, that’s all. It is the strongest military. . .economic
ally, they aren’t going to catch up with us in 70 years.
★ ★ ★QUEMOY, MATSU AND WAR
NIXON—To suggest that we will surrender these islands or force our Chinese Nationalist Allies to surrender them in advance is not something that would lead to peace; it is something that would lead, in my opinion, to war.
KENNEDY—To commit ourselves rigidly to defending these indefensible islands only ties our hands, plays into Communist hands, and brings the whole world closer to war. A peace- loving people do not want a trigger-happy president in the White House.
NIXON—I have opposed drawing a line because I know that the moment you draw a line, that is an encouragement for the Communists to attack—to step up their blackmail and to force you into a war that none of us want.
KENNEDY —The President’s judgment has been that we should defend the islands if. . . the attack on these islands should be part of an over-all attack on Formosa. I support that. The first position you (Nixon) took, when this matter first came up, was that we should draw a line and commit ourselves, as a matter on principle, to defend these islands.
★ ★ ★U2 FLIGHTS
KENNEDY—The U2 flights were proper from the point of view of protecting our security. But they were not in accordance with international law. And I said that I felt that, rather than tell the lie that we told, rather than indicate that the flights would continue. . .that it would have been far better if we had expressed regrets—if that would have saved the summit.
NIXON—When the president of the United States is doing

something that’s right, something that is for the purpose of defending the security of this country against surprise attack, he can never express regrets or apologize to anybody, including Mr. Khrushchev.
★ ★ ★CUBA
KENNEDY—First, work. . .to promote collective action against communism in the Caribbean. . . Second, we must consider more stringent economic sanctions. . . Third, we must attempt to strengthen the non-Batista democratic anti-Castro forces in exile, and in Cuba itself, who offer eventual hope of overturning Castro.
NIXON—Sen. Kennedy’s policies and recommendations for the handling of the Castro regime are probably the most dangerously irresponsible statements that he has made. . .We would lose all of our friends in Latin America, and to engage us in what would be a civil war, and possibly worse.
★ ★ ★EXPERIENCE
NIXON—I have sat in the National Security Council. I have been in the Cabinet. I have met with the legislative leaders. I have met with the President when he made the great decisions with regard to Lebanon, Quemoy and Matsu, other mat- teTs. . .My experience has been in the executive branch. His has been in the legislative branch.
KENNEDY—There is no guarantees that if you take one road or another that you will be a successful president. I have been in the Congress for 14 years. I have voted as a senator in the last eight years. . .1 have met decisions over 800 times on
matters which affect not only the domestic security of the United States but as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
★ ★ ★KENNEDY’S CATHOLICISMKENNEDY—I believe in an
America where the separation of church and state is absolute— where no Catholic prelate would tell a president, should he be a Catholic, how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote.
NIXON—I accept his statement on it, and I think it should be accepted without any further question by people since he has stated it categorically. . .If the two candidates refrain from raising the issue, refrain from discussing it, that means that at least to that extent it won’t be in the news.
★ ★ ★RECESSION
NIXON—If we do get into a recessionary period we should move on the part of the economy which is represented by the private sector—and I mean stimulate that part of the economy that can create jobs—the private sector of the economy. This means tax reform and if necessary, tax cuts that will stimulate more jobs. I favor that rather than massive federal spending programs.
KENNEDY—If we move into a recession in ’61 then I would agree that we have to put more money into the economy, and it can be done by either one of the two methods discussed. One is by a program such as aid to education, the other would be to make a judgment of what’s the most effective tax program to stimulate our economy.

A MODEST PROPOSAL
A movement is afoot—a shocking, startling movement—to solve the problem of overcrowded colleges by the simple expedient of refusing admission to women at coeducational schools!
It is argued by proponents of this plan that in today’s world a college education is absolutely essential for a man, while for a woman it is merely a pleasant interlude between adolescence and housewifery. There is simply not room enough for both men and women in our overburdened colleges; therefore, in all fairness, women who have far less need of a degree than men, must yield their places.
Well sir, when I heard this drastic proposal, I was so shocked that I sat right down and lit a Marlboro. I always sit right down and light a Marlboro when I am shocked. I also always sit right down and light a Marlboro when I am not shocked. There is no time, no condition, no mood, no estate when it isn’t a source of soul-deep gratification to settle back and have a full-flavored smoke—Marlboro, the filtered cigarette with the unfiltered taste —Marlboro, the jewel of cigarettes—Marlboro, the pinnacle of the tobacconist’s art—Marlboro, my comfort, haven, and snug harbor.
Well sir, I sat smoking my Marlboro and thinking over the shocking proposal to keep women out of coed schools, and hoping fervently that another solution can be found. If the calamitous day ever comes when women are banned from coed colleges, I will gnash my teeth and rend my garments and take to my bed without supper. Like any other Marlboro man, I love women. I love the sight and sound of them, the cut of their jibs, their beauty and grace, their cunning little spitcurls, their sleek dimples, their middy blouses, their aura and effluvium. Moreover, I freely admit that when jt comes to brainpower, they can give the average man cards and spades and big casino too. It would be a shame, a disgrace and a catastrophe to keep these beautiful, intelligent creatures out of college.
However, it is always wise in time of fair weather to prepare for foul. What if the advocates of keeping women out of college begin to gather strength? We who abhor this fiendish plan must be ready with a substitute ... and it just so happens I have one—and a mighty ingenious little plan it is, if I say so myself.
Granted that classroom seats are in short supply, and granted that men need degrees more than women, it is still not necessary to bar women from college. Let them go to college but—here is the beauty part of my plan—don’t let them go to class!
This solution, it seems to me, answers every requirement. If releases hundreds of thousands of classroom seats to needy males. At the same time, it does not deprive women of the rich and varied benefits of campus life. They can join sororities, shoot pool at the Union, build bonfires for Homecoming games, pour at the Dean’s tea, plait daisies in their hair, organize drag races, sculpt in ice, hook rugs, walk their cheetahs, play Monopoly, find love —in short, they can do anything except go to class.

Classroom space is short, but smoking pleasure is in abundant supply. Try Marlboros—or Marlboro’s unfiltered sister cigarette—mild, flavorful Philip Morris, now available in regular size or the sensational new king-size Commanded. Have a Commander—welcome aboard!
