yr, —President Kennedy.
In his 35-minute speech to the nation Tuesday
night—probably the best speech of his political ca-
reer— President Kennedy touched on a number of
basic ideals and goals of the United States.
Because of the tricky Berlin situation—a matter
which has come to the boiling point as no surprise
—the President dealt at length on how the nation
must handle the German situation. In many ways,
he talked tougher than the nation ever has heard ’
from the new Presidert. His bluntness is appreci-
ated.
In an otherwise good statement of intentions,
however, the President devoted only one small para-
graph (see above) to our own hemisphere where,
only a day before his speech, a commercially owned
American airplane was hijacked and its passengers
forced to land with the plane in Havana. The fu-
ture of the $3%2 million dollar plane still remains in
doubt
It is true, from the facts currently available, that
the hijacking of the American plane was done by an
individual and apparertly not by the Castro govern-
ment.
Without detracting from the seriousness of the
Berlin situation, we believe President Kennedy
could well have put into action the words he spoke

worth of American-owned property and investments
have been seized in Cuba The United States has
done nothing but plan a poor invasion, ending in
miserable failure and. then only after months had
passed from the time of the actual seizure.
In his Tuesday night speech, the President spoke
often of the Atlantic community and what it means
to the peace of the world. He called on us for help
to avoid war. But these words seem somehow shal-
low when, at the very moment, still more American
property had been seized without valid reason.
The nation seems solidly behind the President in
his firm words regarding Berlin. It will remain sol-
id so long as words are followed up with deeds.
We must exert strong influence to keep Berlin
free. But we must also be strong in our own hem-
isphere for the sake of freedom. So far, the lack of
action regarding the Cuban situation has given no
hint that we will do any better in Berlin unless the
President himself acts as boldly as he talked Tuesday
night.

They gradually found them-
