Fleming, D. F. | December 31, 1960 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the U.S. President Dwight David Eisenhower's quest for peace. Eisenhower deserves great credit for holding the arms budget down around $40 billion. The efforts of the U.S. administration to make out prosperity less dependent on arms spending do not mean that people have been left defenseless. Though the bases abroad are declining in, both politically and militarily, they still enable us to mount devastating attacks on the Soviet Union with both planes and intermediate missiles. Yet the saddest part of Eisenhower's record is his inability to make peace.
