Goldwater Will
Bring Honesty
To Presidency
The Presidential campaign is already
in the home stretch with voting just 12
days away. On the basis of what the can-
didates have done and said during the past
eight weeks of electioneering and on their
records of the years preceding, The
Echo endorses Senator Barry Goldwater
for President.
Both here at home and in our dealings
with other nations, it is our belief that
Goldwater will furnish more reliable
leadership and will return a measure of
decicivness to the office of the Presi-
dent, something that has been lacking
in the Johnson administration.
In domestic affairs, Goldwater has
emphasized giving more responsibility to
the individual while President Johnson
has taken the opposite approach, advo-
cating more government services — and
the control that goes along — for more
and more people. Goldwater is in favor
of gradually returning agriculture to a
free market and taking the government
out of competition with taxpaying free
enterprise.
And he has backed up his beliefs
with stands that have been unpopular
with many people. He has proposed sell-
ing part of the Tennessee Valley Author-
ity, a government power project in com-
petition with free enterprise. He voted
against the present Civil Rights bill,
not because he felt all citizens are not
due equal rights — he has demonstrated
his support for equal rights on many
occasions — but because he feels, as
many in this country do, that part of
the bill, namely the public accommo-
dations section, violate our Constitu-
tion.
President Johnson, in his 11 months
in office and during the years before
that, has driven for more and more
government programs and control —the
poverty war, his push for socialized
medicine and backing for federal aid to
urban areas, to name the most recent.
Internationally, Goldwater favors aid-
ing Cuban exile groups in this country
to re-take their homeland, cutting off
foreign aid to Communist countries and
taking a tough line with the Communists
with victory, not the status quo, as the
objective. The Johnson administration
has ignored the Communist regime 90
miles from the United States in Cuba,
has sold wheat at a whopping discount,
much of it on credit, to the Communists
who have vowed to bury us and is adrift
in its no-win policy in Vietnam.
In recent months, too, the office of the
President has been shaken with one
revelation after another relating to the
shabby use of influence and power —
from box 13 in 1948 up through Billie
Sol Estes, Bobby Baker and now Walter
Jenkins.
Barry Goldwater will bring to our
country’s highest office what we need
— honesty and a record that all Ameri-
cans can look to with pride and confi-
dence for the future of the United States.

ONLY THE PEOPLE ARE FOR GOLDWATER
By Tom Anderson
/ORA BETTER BUYIN A USED CAR OR TRUCK SEE OUR A-1SELECTIONS
If you are among the millions of Ameri-
cans who still believe that the Republican
Party is the party of Big Business, vested in-
terests and Economic Royalists, you are, to
put it moderately, extremely behind the
times. Daddy Bird Johnson has more Big
Business support than any Democrat Presi-
dent in history. He received a tremendous
reception to his speech at the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce. Big Business is obsessed with
being on the winning side, obsessed with pro-
fits, t obsessed with “success.” These Big Busi-
nessmen are for Johnson because they can
trade with him. (Anybody can, who has the
price.) The government is the Big Business-
man’s best customer. He’ll do whatever, and
whenever and to whomever the government
dictates.
Some of our most dangerous collectivists
are the corporate Socialists who help manage
our planned economy and who wax rich off
foreign aid. Some Big Businessmen have so
many foreign plants that they’re not sure
which side they are on. Profits and patriotism
become synonymous. All they want is the
winning side. Many fatcats have decided that
Socialism is the wave of the future, and
they’ll ride with the tide.
MIDDLE CLASS LIQUIDATION
America is the land of the great middle
class. The collectivists are now urgently
merging the middle and lower classes into
one mass, under them. That’s how collec-
tivist societies must operate. The politicians,
intellectuals and corporate Socialists running
Big Business take over the whole show. The
rest of us take orders. This is tomorrow’s
America unless the people wake up fast and
act.
Lyndon Johnson is running our govern-
ment like nobody’s business. He is spending
more of your grandchildren’s money than
any President has ever done, even in war-
time. Johnson is spending $2 million a day
more than President Kennedy and $50 mil-
lion a day more than President Eisenhower.
Why? To get elected. When campaigning
for the Presidency, John Kennedy claimed
17 million Americans go to bed hungry every
night. Now Johnson says 42 million Ameri-
cans are hungry, but he doesn’t say how it
happened. His “answer” is more billions for
subsidies, welfare. For after all the Big Un-
ionists and Big Businessmen are subsidized,
the politician ponders, “How do we make
the little man, who has the votes, continue to
believe that we’re doing all this for him?”
Make a big play to end “pockets of pover-
ty” and unemployment and to increase wel-
fare.
ANYTHING IT TAKES
Some very uninformed people accused
Daddy Bird Johnson of not being a “liberal,”
to which he replied: “You say I am not a
liberal. Let me tell you I am more liberal
than Eleanor Roosevelt, and I will prove it
to you. Franklin D. Roosevelt was my hero-—
he gave me my start.” Lyndon Johnson is the
new breed of leftist. His commitment is not
an emotional, ideological thing like Humph-
rey’s but is opportunism rooted in lust for
power. Talk moderate and move left is the
creed of the Johnson Power Deal. “The real
Johnson” will not emerge, some say, until
his second term. There is no real Johnson.
Johnson is anything it takes; westerner, sou-
therner, easterner, poor boy, millionaire. The
Communists are for Johnson, the Socialists
are for Johnson, the Negroes are for John-
son, foreigners are for Johnson, Union Bosses
are for Johnson, Big Business is for Johnson.
Who does that leave for Goldwater? Just the
people!

VICTORY OVER COMMUNISM
By Harry Browne
Cures for communism are a-dime-a-dozen.
Everything is advocated from an invasion of
Cuba to greater foreign aid to the Soviets.
Meanwhile, American men are drafted to
fight and die before the dreaded enemy in
Vietnam.
What is communism? In effect, it is the
theory that man exists solely for the benefit
of the state. Its high-sounding phrases about
“victory of the proletariat” and “collective
strength” soon degenerate into simple slav-
ery: man exists for the benefit of the state.
Such a concept is not new. It has existed
since the beginning of time. And all histori-
cal evidence points to the fact that men do
not create and produce abundance in such
a stifling atmosphere. Soviet Russia can be
no exception.
And yet, here we find ourselves today in
a position where our own government takes
$50 billion out of the economy every year
for the purpose of defending ourselves
against the “threat of communism.” And
pundits and thinkers around the world treat
the U.S. and USSR as productive equals.
How?
How could this be? What threat could
come from a weak economic system like
communism? All else equal, ,£he “free enter-
prise” U.S.A. must be a hundred times
stronger than the weak Soviet Union.
But, unfortunately, all else isn’t equal.
There’s a distortion imposed upon this sim-
ple equation. It seems that the 100-1 ratio
has been seriously diluted.
The distortion comes from the fact that
the American taxpayer has been assessed by

his own government to help prop up the So-
viet economy. For a few examples: the re-
cent wheat sale in which the Soviets’ credit
was guaranteed by our government’s Export-
Import Bank; similar sales of critically-need-
ed machine tools where our government has
guaranteed the credit; arming the Yugoslav-
ian Army and Air Force.
Perhaps worst of all is the direct foreign
aid sent to Communist Poland. For Poland
has its own foreign aid program, and one
recipient is North Vietnam. Recognize the
name? That’s the Communist country that’s
waging war against South Vietnam — where
American soldiers are dying.
So our own money is being used to finance
the deaths of our own citizens. And it be-
comes rapidly apparent just why commu-
nism has become such a formidable threat.
What to do
We can now see a much more lasting cure
for communism. The answer isn’t to invade
Cuba, nor to fight to the death in Vietnam,
nor to send more foreign aid to Brazil, nor to
improve the quality of our diplomats.
The total answer to the Communist threat
is to simply stop helping them!
Without our help the Communists couldn’t
keep their inept system going one year. With-
out our nuclear secrets, our agriculture know-
how, our scientific knowledge, and our
money — the Communists would be forced
to either change their system or suffer in-
evitable collapse.
If victory over communism is the goal,
it’s true that there’s a simple solution: stop
helping them.
