Favors Changes In U.S. Govmt Policies

WASHINGTON (AP)roUow-Ing are the views of Sen. Barry Goldwater o Arizona, Republican piresldential nominee, cm a variety o issues, as expressed in his books, interviews, campaign speeches, statements and other public remarks:Agriculture

*Most 0 our tarro ills have been the product o government price-fixing," Goldwater said in Redding. Calif., on May 25.

He suggested Feb. 12 in Portland. Ore.. that the federal governments only involvement with farmers should be in a loan guarantee program similar to that of the Federal Housing Ad-mlnistrati(xi. to make m<ey available when it really is needed.

TUs is the only idace I see now for the federal government to act directly with the farmers, he said. Youll find that all of the en6 that are kept at a high unnatural price are giving way to fortgn competition.

At LttUeton. N.H.. on Feb. S. he said a federal withdrawal from farm subsidies could be accomplished over a three-to five-year period.

The SO per cent (rf our agii-eulture now under the Presidents support program should be slowly withdrawn from it, so that at the end of a reasonable period of/ibng the law of supply and dmnand vriB determine the prices the farmers receive. Goldwater said Oct. 20, 1963. in response to questions submitted by Ti Associated Press.Civil Rights

Goldwater, commenting on July 13 on the Republican jdat-form plank on civil rights, declared that as president be would enforce the new law end added;

my

I doot think either party should try at this Uixm to go be-y(d the present MU. which Is the law.

Talking of his om>osition to the measure on ctmstitutional grounds, Goldwater said "Its up to the Supreme Court to decide whether I was right or wrong.

He said a presidoit promises to uphold aU tlw laws and "if I didnt beUeve I could do it Id withdraw from the race right now."

On July 10, OMdwater told the Republean platform committee he would not as presldeot seek repeal d the civil rights law. No, be said, "tbat^not in my opini(m the duty of a president.

"Even though I voted with the minority I stand with the majority.

"I sUU feel that two of the titles are uneonstitutlonal. and the Supreme Court will determine that, he said.

Goldwater addisd;

"If I am your president, I win do something about this in more ways than the law.

He said he would uae the preelige of the presidency to seek an end to discrimination (d all sorts.

"This Is fundamentally a matter of the heart, Goldwater said in reply to an Associated Press questionnaire on July 5.

"We now have too much government and too little under-Btanding In these matters; too much mob and too little individual recponsibflity.

Announcing be would vote against the civU righU bill. Goldwater said on the Senate floor June 18; "I am unalterably (gmoeed to discrimination or segregttion on the basis of rsce, color creed; not only my words, but more importantly my tetions have repeatedly de-monsfrated the ^certty of feeling in this regard. Goldwater said he would luctantly vote against the because the publio accommoda-tiooe and Fair Cmi^yment Practtoes Oommissioo sections fly in the face of the Constitu-tlon and require for their execution the creation of a police etate.

"Z think I can tafely say that I oan run on a platform that would contain the civil rights bill that passee Congreee. Goldwater said June 7 in Chester. Pa., adding: I can aasure you it wont be the (ie that la before us now.

In San Diego on May 26, Gold-water said he opposed the pub> lie accommodations and fair employment sections of the dvll rights bill and "the mainstream i the Republican party in Con-greaa feels either tiiey have to go or to be modified.

If theyd take Title 7 out altogether and make Title 2 what It was originally meant to be the traditional right of the stateathan I would go for the MU.

^ Although frankly. be said, **1 think tt'B like a It bUl, its a phoney. Tbere'a only one good Motion, the school integration Becticn, the rest we already have in law.

As your prtsident. he said May 25 in Oakland, Calif.. I would inuMdlately seek to rt-Btora dvll order so that our dls-cuatlon of civil rights could proceed wttb opra hearts and minds.

Ixpisintni a shift in visws be made about U months earlier after eoiuniltinf with legal ad-yimn, Ooldw^r aaid in a tele-visloo interview May 34:

At one time I felt that It was Improper fwr the fedmd government to intervene in a local school aystem as far as integration goes.

I believe now that this is PosdMe, iind 1 believe the msr Miinery 1^ there to do it, and I

used the machinery.

In a campaign poettioo paper issued April 14. Goldwater said: "We muitt always make a sharp distinction between civil rights guaranteed under the Constitution and thoee lights of association that are badMlly moral issues and cannot be resolved by passing unenforceaMe federal laws.

He said the right to vote, to equal treatment before the law. to hold property and to the protection of contracts are guaranteed by the Constitution.

In San Francisco on lirch SI. Goldwater said:

"ru stack my civil rights record with any wMte man in this country. Ive done something about it.

"We never write off votes, be said, "hut I look at it in a realistic way. In the large cities the Negro vote has been about 80 per cent Democratic in national elections.

"I think if any Negro read my record hed fine a better friend in me. Goldwater said in Detroit on March 25.

Goldwater said to Stockton, Calif., on March 18; "I dont believe this problem can be solved by law. As president, be said. "I would continue doing what Ive been dMng as an individual American. I think that moral persuasloo and the prestige of a president can do more to solve this problem than law ever can.

"I d(mt want to see my country destroyed, the Constitution destroyed, in a vain attempt to solve a problem that can only be solved in tbe hearts of men, be said.

At Bristol. N.. on Feb. 19. be said "I cant vote for the civil rights MU with either one of these secticms in it. He was referring to tbe pubUo acccxnmo-datioDs and fair employment practices provisions.

Now if a state wante to pass either one of these it is their prerogative. be said. I would resist It In my own state.

, Goldwater later was quoted as endorsing in a letter a public accommodations ordinance for his home town of Phoenix.

On Feb, 19 in Hanover. N.H., he said be thinks civU rights can become a reality in the South without leglslati<m. "Where it can be speeded up by federal action would be in the schools. be said,

Goldwater said in Globe,

But Goldwater said during his New Hampshire campaign that the United States must take much of the blame. He pointed to the example set by the .S. wheat deal with the Soviet Union.Defense

"Basic strategic concepts for tbe security of this naticm demanded drastic reassessment with the advent of the age of space and missiles. This nation cannot survive, in this new era without mastery of tiie uses of space and heavy reliance on missile systems as against a

Ariz., (m Feb. 14 ttw public ao-commodations section "would force you to admit a drunk or a murderer or an insane person into your place of businesa. Be said that the fair employment section of the MU would lead to a quota system of hiring and "you are going to loae your right to select your employes.

In Chicago on Feb. 8 he said "I couldnt get enough of the Negro vote to worry about what I did on any legltiation. I regret that.

Cuba

re-

bill

"We must Impose, again, an effective e c o n o m i c-milttary blockade (m Cuba. We must enforce our restrietUms and levy pmalties against shipping which attempts to trade with both the United States and Cuba. We must have an equally effective blockade against tbe export M agitators and arms fran Cuba. Goldwater said July 5.

"A tight blockade around Cuba would heavily undermine Castros power, put an unac-ceptably high price on the Soviet aid which is propiting up his police state, and enable tbe people of Cuba themselves tiiose inside the country, together with an exile armyto Uve under freedom once more. Immediate U.8. recognition M a Cuban government - M-exile would be tbe indispensable first step toward Cuban self-Ubera-tion. SuQh a government could ask for every form of UJ. and Organization of American States support-and ought to receive it.

Goldwater sJso said tbe administration is avoiding the intent of Congress that a foreign aid ban "should be used to cMAe off free world trade with Cuba.

"People realize that sooner or later, whether we Uke It or not, were going to have to get rid of communism in Cuba or were going to have a Conununlst Latin America. be said in San Diego Idarch 20.

Jn Lakeport, Calif., on March 18, Goldwater said action must be taken against Castro in con

cert with other Hemisphere nations and If we dont do this ... we ourselves will some day have to repeat what we did in 1898.

When Castro hatted tbe water supply to tbe Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Goldwater, campaigning in Kingston. N.H.. said:

X hope tbs President has tbe courage to teU Castro turn that water back on or were golag to turn it on ourselves . . . turn It on or tbs Marines will turn it on for you and keep it on.

He repotted that poettion in Los Angtlee on May 37. Had I been tbe coromandtag officer of tbe base, I probably would have taken that action, he sakL 1 believe in protecting the American people first and then well worry about what happens afterwards,

He said in Washington on Feb. 9 he would favor the use M U.S. warsbips to halt shipments into CubaIncluding such things as British buses and Frrach products.

"Our allils are le#^lng ua to

mixed forcemissiles, maimed aircraft, and naval vessels of all types. Goldwater said July 5.

"I have raised, and wUl continue to raise until aU the facts are in. fundamental questions about the reliability of our intercontinental baUistic missiles. It is not a question of theoretical accuracy. The fact is that not (me of our advanced ICBMs has ever been subjected to a full testof all c(xnponent systems, including warheadsunder simulated battle (xmditions.

Ita Dallas, June 16, Goldwater said the nation is being fed "packets of lies by the Pentagon about U. S. mlUile strenght.

"Whether we like it or not, we are in second place, be said, and I defy the czar of the Pentagon to dispute that statement.

Reasserting a Icmg-standlng charge, Goldwater said at Chester, Pa., (m June 7 that "unless the United States develops a new manned bomber, 1970 "could find us with between 30 and 40 per cent of our nuclear strike force gone.

In his April 14 position paper, Goldwater said the nuclear test ban treatywhich he oroosed "means that we cannot pr(x>erly test even our present missile systems.

He also complained that the United States has no present programs looking toward primarily mlUtary applications for the environment of space. Goldwater said there is every reason to believe the Soviet Union has such programs.

Championing tbe manned bomber, he said:

"If we place over-reliance on missiles rather than a mixed arsenal, our only reacticms to unacceptable Soviet probes would have to be submissionor aU-out nuclear war. I want to avoicl the necessity of nuclear war...

"In defense matters you are inflexible if you have only one major weapons system at your disposal, be said.

He also lodged again a longstanding complaint against Secretary of Defense Robert S. Me- | amara;

This administration has de- | pended too heavily and too exclusively on untrained civilian officials, while tending to downgrade the advice of skilled and dedicated career members of the military.

In Detroit on March 25, he accused McNamara of "ledger sheet leadership leading to a deterrent gap in the next decade.

In Oceanside. Calif., on March 20, Goldwater protested a U.S.-Soviet bomber burning deal to destroy B47s if the Russians burned badgers Mxnbers,

"WeU stiU have our missiles and theyU have theirs, be said, "and I think theirs are a Uttle more reUable than ours.

I make the flat charge that Secretary McNamara and tbe State Department are engaged in unilateral disarmament at the expense (rf peace and the expense of freedom.

McNamara. Goldwater said Jan. 23, has probably saved the country more money and cost it more morale than any secretary in the past.

The senator said in Franklin. Nil., on Feb. 20 if he were president he would fire McNamara.

once and there are many things the federal government shouldnt be doing at aU. he said.

The budget can be balanced, he said in Chico, Calif.. March 17, "ad Im convinced that I can balance it without damage to any services in this country

"I feel the cost of living increase has wiped out a large part of the benefits to be gained from the tax cut that was passed just a few weeks agao, he said in Paradise. CaUf., on March 71.

Goldwater said in Wiltcm, NJI., March 5 the United States Is doing its best to encourage freer trade but "The trouble is the rest of the world isnt helping us. It might get to the point where we have to lower quotas.

bower foreign policy.

In Minneapolis oo Feb. 8. Goldwater said, "If you get a Republican president you can get foreign policy changes awfully fast. In my case it would be changed to a poUcy not of belligeranee but the same policy as under Eisenhower and DuUes of brinkmanship and the prefer use of our strength.Education

Goldwater said in his April 14 campaign position paper "I have consistently opposed federal aid to elementary and secondary schools as unnecessary anad unwise. Nevertheless, I have advocated that any such aidshould Congress ever authorize itmust in fairness be made available to all schools, pubUc, private or parochial.

Goldwater said he favors tax credits for school taxes and for taxpayers supporting college students.

"We Republicans, seek a government that attends to its inherent responsibilities of maintaining a stable monetary and fiscal climate encouraging a free and competitive ectmomy, and enforcing law and order, from acceptance speech July 16.

General Election

Extremism

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue, from acceptance speech July 16.

Goldwater said in Sacramento, Calif., on March 17 people who make extremism a campaign issue have "no business running for the presidency.

His remarks were aimed at New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, his rival in the California primary. Goldwater called the issue one of "small minds that disregard the real problems facing the nation.

AU I can say is that I will take the suw>ort of any American who is not a Communist, who has not advocated the violent overthrow of our government, and the Birch Society, like the Americans for Democratic Action, extremists on the left, are operating, in my opinion, under their constitutional rights, he said in San Prancis-co on March 15.

"I seek the support of no extremist groups of the left or right, he said in Fresno, CaUf., March 14.

Foreign AidEconomy

In June, Goldwater said be would act to hold down federal spending "by setting priorities clearly stated and clearly un-denstood.

To bold down the federal budget, he said, local govem-menta ahould be taking on more respooalbllltiea In meeting clearly eetabllahed needs.

"Urban renewal and welfare lervlcea are two prime exam-plea of what I mean. he aaid. At the opposite end of the scale of necessary federal respoosi-MUtiesare tbe needa ot defense and national security.

In Dallas. Tex., June 15. Goldwater said "If we continue to enlarge tbe power and the purse ot tbe federal government at the rate we are now enlarging both, we wUl have to institute a new economic systemwe- wUl have to adopt a form of U.8 socialism within tbe next several presidential terms, and maybe sooner than that.

President Johnaon, he said in Monterey. Calif., May 26. has absolutely no regard for the value of tbe doUar. We are headed for about a llO-bUUon deficit.

As your president I would devote more of my interest and Uma to seeing to it that the American d(dlar retains its value," he said.

Goldwater said in his April 14 position paper "What we desperately need are some clearly stated and clearly understood priorities for national programs. "We cannot do everything at

"I am for a sound foreign aid program, he said in a June reissue of his campaign position declaration. He endorsed military aid and technical assistance.

"Soundly based economic loans, granted according to clear criteria, can also be a good Investment for free world security, he said.

"Foreign military aid and technical assistance are valuable adjuncts to our over-all program of mutual securitythe former to protect our friends against Communist aggression, and the latter to help free na-ti(xis free themselves, Goldwater said in an April 14 position paper. "But, as it is presently conceived and adminls-tenj, foreign economic aid raises serious (juestions.

CXir aid will be truly effective only if those we help have the desire and the will to become self-supporting, he said.

Goldwater also said "U.S. assistance to Communist-ruled nations has not helped foster any significant independence fnxn Soviet domination.

"I dont think with the temper of Ccmgress being what it is that the life of foreign economic aid has much longer to go. he said In Globe, Ariz., on Feb. 14.

Instead of pumping doUars into these countries I would pump in educati(Mi and knowhow. Thats what a foreign aid program should be, he said Feb. 10 in Thatcher, Ariz.

Foreign Policy

Goldwater said In Dallas cm June 15 lack of foreign policy and a weak-kneed foreig policy "are leading us into World War m as surely as we were led into World War H by the same kind of stupid ineptitude.

In Los Angeles on May 27 he said: "The greatest way we can help the free world would be to help the people behind the Iron Curtain assert their free wiU. Before Im accused of being a warmonger, I say this can be done without going to war.

In Lebanon. NH., on Feb. 19. he said a firm foreign policy is the best insurance of peaoe. "Were not afraid to risk war because we know by doing this the chances are that we wont have to go to war. he said.

"I dont think Johnson understands the foreign policy of Eisenhower, he said in San Francisco (m Feb. 12. "What his foreign policy is doing is isolating tbe United States by bringing back troops, by bringing back b(wnber8. We are disarming unilaterally and this is certainly not in keeping with Eisen-

Asked whether he can beat President Johnsixi, Goldwater replied at a Florida caucus at the RepubUcan Nataional C(i-vention on July 12: "I wouldnt be to this thing if I thought I was going to get beaten.

On June 30, an interviewer for the German magazine Der Spiegel had asked him, "Do you think you would stand a chance to win over President Johnson In November?

"If you ask that question as of now, and I always like to answer political questions as of now, no, I dcmt think any Be-pubUcan can as of now.

I dont think Id be rash enough to say I could beat Johnson in the South as of now, but come Electic Day theres going to be another horse race, I believe.Income Tax

In his April position paper. Goldwater said. "I share the opinion with virtually every other American that our present tax burden is onerous, often inequitable and in need of reform. But abolition is the answer to nothing.

As president, (xie of my first priority tasks would be to secure a complete overhaul of our

as they are today. We should make this clear to tbe Communists. Perhaps the threat al(me would work. If not. It might require only very limited actions to make our point and make It stick.

Goldwater said in San Diego. Calif., oa May 26: "As president, I wcmld say to my military people. 'How do we stop these suppUes coming down? And we would do that.

The senator said be does not advocate the use of nuclear weapons to defoliate jungle trails or to cut C(iununiat supply lines.

"It could be done, but I d<mt think it should be done, he said. "I feel cimventional weapons would be very, very ade-(juate.

In Los Angeles on May SO, Goldwater charged the administration is sending American airmen into battle in Viet Nam in "old and inadequate equipment.

"The suppUes of the Communist invaders have got to be shut off, Goldwater said in Los Angeles on April 29. He said tbst would mean threatening or interdicting routes from Red China, Laos and Cambodia.

"The opium crops upon which North Viet Nam bases a g(X)d part of its foreign exchange could be destroyed, he said. "The same thing should apply to the North Viet Nam rice crops.

In Peterborough, N.H., on Jan. 22, Goldwater was asked what the United States should do In South Viet Nam.

"I think were doing down there precisely what we should be doing, he said. "I wouldnt advocate involving the United States any more at the present time. Id like to see us encourage the South Vietnamese to be-

"Personally, I dont believe in a graduated tax, I know we cant drop it, he said in Hillsboro, N.H., on Jan. 22. "A graduated tax is a penalty on ambition.

In Concord, N.H., on Jan. 7, Goldwater said an overhaul of the tax code would make possible a rate reducti(m of 10 to 12 per cent in personal Income taxes and about 30 per cent in corporate taxes.

On Dec. 2, 1961, Goldwater said, Get rid of the whole graduated Inccxne tax.

In his book "Tbe Conscience of a Conservative, published in 1960, he said, "Government has a right to claim an eciual percentage of each mans wealthand no more.Labor

In his campaign position paper on labor, Goldwater said, to achieve industrial peace, we must maintain a balance among the rights of employes, employers and the pubUc. Our concern for the individual employe must always be paramount.

"He should be protected from abuse and exploitation-whether such abuse of exploitation stems from actions of his employer or from the tbe actions of unicm officials. he said.

In Hillsboro. N.H., on Jan. 22, Goldwater said of right-to-work legislation: "Personally, I think very favorably o it. I dont think any American should be forced to belong to anything In order to make a living.

"Why, he asked in Kinston, N.C.. on Jan. 17, "should a man be forced to Join a labor union because 50.1 per cent of his fellow workers say they want to join. . .

"I w(der if Industrywide bargaining shouldnt be looked into. he added.Medical Care For Aged

Goldwater opposes medical care for the aged financed through Social Security. He says it would mean socialized medicine. and would push the Social Security tax so high as to endanger that system,

"The Social Security system la not the way to do it effectively. One sure way to wreck the Social Security system would be to saddle It with unnecessary new burdens, such as medicare. We penalize every aged citizen If we thug bankrupt the system which protects them. be told The Associated Press on July 5.

He said on Oct. 20, 1963: "Health care for the aged is already provided for by the Kert^ Mills bill and by private programs. In this whole field of health, I would favor tax credit or tax deduction for any montes paid for the purpose oi taking care of the aged.

Goldwater who voted against the Kerr-Mills MU. now says he thinks this is as far as the government should go.

The policies we have been foUowlni there for tbe past several yean have been proven to be Inadequate. 1 predict that if these policies do not change weU be fighting in Viet Nam for a decade. And. at beei, weU end up with a draw pr as low defeat, Goldwater said on July S.

"The supplies of the Communist invaden have got to be shut off.

"This means threatening or actually interdicting the supply routes from Red China. Lsos

Goldwater, in his campaign position statement, said: "The greatest force for freedom in the world today is the powerful Atlantic Alliance, the NATO community. But tne present administration has allowed NATO to drift into disarrayto the point where it is split, leaderless and badly lagging in its goal of buUdlng and maintaining a soUd barrier against communism,

He opposed the multilateral force concept as a gimmick to give the appearance of NATO unity, and said it would not be workable.

He proposed these steps;

1. Consultation with NATO allies prior to major p(^cy deci-sI(Mis affecting their security.

2. A pledge not to engage in bilateral negotiations with the Soviet Union on matters involving security or Interests of NATO nations.

3. "The sharing of nuclear secrets within the framework of existing law.

4. "The training of aU NATO forces stationed in Europe, regardless of nationality, in the use of battlefield or tactical nuclear weapons, I suggest that the supreme commander of NATO, who is an American officer and probably always will be, have direct command over a NATO nuclear force, trained, ready and equlnted. on European soil.

Goldwater says he was misquoted as saying in Hartford, Conn.. on Oct. 24. 1963 that he wants NATO commanders pluralto have authority over tactical nuclear weapons.

He said he was talking about the supreme commander.

In San Francisco on July 13, Ooldwstor told Florida delegates to the OOP convention:

Ive suggested that we never remove this responsibility from the President but that the commander of NATO have a Uttle more leeway in the selection of weapons and the tlmeUness of weapons.

At Fayetteville. N.C.. <m Jan. 18, Goldwater said;

We cant expect NATO to fight a modem war with World War n weapons, and that Is what were asking them to do. If we have to wait for a consultation at the White Houee before retaUating with nuclear tactical weapons, Im afraid we would lose in a ground attack over there.

"... The greatest bulwark ever erected by free nations, the NATO community. (Prom acceptance speech July 18).

rity system and I want to see it strengthened. I want to see every participant receive all the benefits this system provides. And I want these benefits to be paid in sound lOO-cent doUars. Protecting the value of the benefits is a basic necessity, be said July 5.

Id his position paper earlier, he said;

We wUl not preserve the Social Security system if we saddle it with unnecessary new burdens, such as Medicare. We penalize every aged citizen if we thus bankrupt the system which protects them.

"Nor is the public Interest served by those who label every sincere proposal to correct and perfect the Social Security system as an attack on its basic principles.

"No president could end Social Security, be said in Monterey, CaUf.. on May 25. I cant imagine the Congress in its most wild and stupid momenta voting to end Social Security.

"In Concord, NJH., on Jan. 7, Goldwater said:

"I would like to suggest cne change, that Social Security be voluntary, that if a person can provide better for himself, let him do it. But If be prefers the government to do it. let him. I wouldnt change It. but I beUeve he ^ould be able to Indicate his choice if he wants it. Or if he doesnt, let him say no to his employer. I think we wlU come to something Uke that in 1970.Soviet Union

Nuclear Test Ben

I voted against the treaty because it. in effect, freesee the Soviet Unicm in a superior position to tbe United States as re-garde the uses and effects of high-yield weapons while leaving open the posslblUty of their catching up to us in the field of tactical nuclear weapons, since these weapons can be perfected by underground testo which are not prohibited by the treaty, Goldwater said in his campaign position paper.

"K I were president, I can conceive of situations in which it would be neceesary to abrogate the treaty, he said, "if I found it detrimental to the tnte^ eeto of the United States to continue to adhere to the treaty. I would use the treatys own escape clause to release us from its provisions.

"I also feel there are bnpo^ tant areas (d amendment which should be sought immediately, particularly In the area of peaceful use of nuclear weapons," he said.

In the Der Spiegel interview, Goldwater said: "My disagreement with diplomatic recogni-ti(Mi ^ Russia goes back to the day when we did it in the 1930s. I opposed it then and I never thought that it has redounded to the benefit of the Western world. Today I look upon this as a tool.

In his campaign positUm paper. Goldwater said:

"Our recognition of the Soviet Unicm has been greatly to its advantage. The possibility of withdrawing that recognition ahould be maintained as a bargaining device, as a lever that might be used at a moment most advantageous to the iter-ests of the United States.

"Withdrawal might not come this year or next or at all, but the very threat would be of great value to the United States in its negotiations with the CXsn-munists.

Goldwater said he would ask for Senate advice before breaking diplomatic relations with Russia.

At Milford, N.H., cm Jan 7, Goldwater said; "i never bell eved in recognizing Russia. We lent the dignity of the United States to the fatherland of communism. We know less about Ri^ia today than we knew when we recognized her.

"I dont suggest that we willy nllly. by the ecratob of a pen, break relations with Russia, he said in Los Angeles cm May 27.

his campaign positicm paper, Goldwater said: "I am quite certain that our entire approach to the cold war would change for the better the moment we announced that the United States does not regard Mr. Khrushchevs murderous clique ts the legitimate ruler of the Ruaelan people or any other people.

Goldwater on May 28 protested the consular treaty signed with the Soviet Union. He said at Santa Barbara, CaUf. on May 28 that he wae "rather shaken Johnson did not inform tbe Senate of the treaty details in ad-vaooe.

"I'd like to know what kind of wheeling and dealing le going on under tbe table. be said. "I think the American pec^de are getting a Uttle fed up with se-crH tgreemento secretly agreed to.

to Los Angeles cm June 1, Ooldwstor said: l dont Uke secrecy ... this type of treaty making.

"I believe that we must look beyond the defense of freedom ^ay to its extensin tomorrow.

I taUeve that the COmmunlem which boasts it wlU bury us will Instoad give way to tbe forcee of freedom." (Prom acxeptance speech July 16).

Social SecurityUnited Nations

I favor a sound Social Secu-

Ooldwater made this statement of the United Nations In resnnndlng on July 6 to an As

sociated Press questionnaire:

"I would, at the very least, issue a warning in the foUow-Ing terms: For 19 years now, the Communists have held the united Nations in contempt. They have repeatedly undermined its operations and ito principles. Should tbe Red Chinese now, in effect, shoot their way in, the charter would be all but a dead letter. In that event, the United States in our own best interests, and for the good of the original united nations idea would be forced to undertake a serious reassessment of Its basic commitments.

"The first necessity for strengthening the United Nations, in my Judgment, is to look critically at voting procedures. Some form of weighted voting may have to be seriously considered as a way of bringing the United Nations into line with new world retUties. Many responsible authorities have suggested a system based cm population, on contributions to U.N. costs, or on some combination of factors. I do not have the final solution. But this is one of tbe major problems that must be considered, soberly and candidly, In assessing tbe U. N.s future as both a representative and a responsible organization "I criticize the United Nations because It Is not all that It should be. Even so, it is a useful forum. It can stiU provide machinery for valuable conciliation among natl(His. But I want to see the United Nations do more. I want to see it come closer to achieving its real goals. It can do so. (Hily when aU of its members live up to the spirit of the charter, which many of them quite obviously are not doing now.
