Ol a Te em te . @wrlU6F ae | M. A. Jones to DeLoach RE: "JUST FRIENDS AND BRAVE ENEMIES" BY ROBERT F, KENNEDY edd CHAPTER 9: "THE YOUNG AT HEART" From Berlin, the party flew by military helicopter to Bonn. He indicates that the people in Bonn are well-dressed and prosperous looking and their faces do not show the strain and pressure of the Berlin citizens. His two main purposes in going to Bonn were to see Chancellor Adenauer and to address the West German Society of Foreign Affairs. The central theme of his conversation with Adenauer was the necessity that the United States, the leader of the free world, have a faith and an ideal to guide other countries. Adenauer felt that Russia's difficulties with China were just beginning and that with the common market Europe was on the threshold of a new life. Kennedy's speech to the West German Society of Foreign Affairs is produced in its entirety. From Bonn they flew to The Hazue and then on to Paris where he had a meeting with President De Gaulle and discussed the same subjects he had discussed with Adenauer. From Paris, they flew back home. CHAPTER 10 "...LET FACTS BE SUBMITTED TO A CANDID WORLD..." Kennedy states he returned home with the conviction that there is a tremendous reservoir of goodwill toward the United States which will disappear if the potential is not properly realized. He notes that we must put our own house in order, particularly in the field of civil rights and sets forth some examples in our efforts to do so. He states we must recognize that in each of these countries there is a strong and vocal communist opposition to the United States and to our way of life. In all these countries this group is well-organized. He indicates that the amount of misinformation as well as the lack of information regarding the United States and our system of government in these countries is appdling. He suggests sending groups of men and women to lecture mt just about the United States and our form of government, or about democracy generally, but also about history and philososhy and even more practical matters. He would have people talk about some of the successes we've had in the United States and the prote#ms we have had to overcome, He ‘vould tell them more about what we have been able to accomplish. Kennedy indicates that Pete dota many pecple more than qualify for this task and names Frank Church, Eugene McCarthy ~ Hubert Humphrey, Paul Douglas, John Sherman Cooper, Stewart Udall and Orville Freeman, as well as Walter Lippmann or David Brinkley. He would encourages cther free countries of the world to set up their own "peace corps" with the understanding ‘that our organization would cooperate closely with them. a & “PN a
