specialty -- specially recorded program is sponsored by the goldwater for president committee. it brings you barry goldwater's campaign in new hampshire. >> i have never seen so many frustrated people as we have had around washington. mostly because they haven't any faith in the american system. they have lost confidence in the fact that a strong nation has to be strong, has to show its strength. it has to let its enemies know what they are going to do. the question in my mind is how can you prevent war with policies that are making communist countries content with communism or four and eight policies that are making them even more content? at the same time, nuclear policies which alienate our nato allies. who hasot stop a man

resolved to bury you by sending him shovels. by feeding and clothing his friends or denying your friends the means to protect you. you can stop him by letting him him by -- can't stop letting him edge of closer to you. the only way to secure the peace without war is to pile on the economic pressures that will disrupt the enemy. friends -- losing his friends with a firm and understandable foreign policy. this leads me up to the suspect -- subject of peace. since president eisenhower left office our foreign policy position has deteriorated and deteriorated until the day we watch almost daily, the slippage of the united states around the world as more and more countries he can to disbelieve us. begin to discuss us.

and begin to look elsewhere for the leadership that must be portrayed if peace is to be obtained and maintained in this world. suspectin on the same -- subject, foreign policy. foreign policy is far and away the greatest interest. it ranks probably eight-10 times above the next issue that seems to be on the minds of the people of new hampshire. you would normally expect more interest on the eastern seaboard in this subject but i find on the west coast and the rocky mountains and the middle west, the same concern for what is happening to america around the world. growing great and desire to see a change that will result in a foreign policy that can guarantee peace in this and ther our lifetime

lifetime of our children and grandchildren. peggy and i have four children and four grandchildren. i don't want to see this country reached the point that the only escape other than surrender to slavery is a war. i think with proper guidance, with sensible guidance, with courage, not cowardice, with firmness, not weakness, that we can contribute to the peace that will keep these children and grandchildren at peace and comfort during their lives. it is just a short hop to washington. barry goldwater has made the trip many times. he puts the flying time to good use, keeping up with national affairs and his many responsibilities as a senator. a familiar sight. and more familiar sights to the veteran campaigner.

was it cold in february, but a touch of cold can't stop a campaign. they came out in droves to see what this candidate had to say and he spoke out on foreign policy, social security, communism, foreign aid, cuba. wherever he went he faced the same issues, the same weston's. he answered them the same way. he told the people he supported social security but was concerned inflation would devalue their social security dollars. he told people only a strong america can guarantee freedom. appeasement and accommodation cannot assure peace. he called for personal responsibility in government because barry goldwater wants to give the government back to the p. he called for a re-examination of the u.n. charter. listen as he speaks out on the u.n..

>> when you set the charter by which you are going to live, particularly an organization like the united nations, devoted to peace. late what i believe to be two of the important covenants. you're not going to engage in aggression or interfere for the internal working for the country. then you have become dishonest and we would not have done this had we not been imposed upon to do it. by the other nations and the united nations who see no wrong in violating the charter. this is the same position when they argue about china coming into the united nations. the charter clearly says no aggressor nation shall belong. andlready have russia that's an academic argument. we say they cannot come in so if we say that, red china cannot be admitted. reasons thatf the

i have repeatedly suggested that the united nations at least have a charter revision. >> now the people of new hampshire speak out for barry goldwater. you,just had to tell shaking hands with the next president. way of speaking. i think he is going to keep his promises. thing, -- i don't think of him as a politician but as a man. i am very impressed with him. i am extremely proud we have an american who is that's enough to put america back where it belongs. >> i am opposed to foreign and economic aid. i never voted for it since i've been in the senate. i would not, even if they divided into the three components that foreign aid is made up of as we mention it. we have military assistance which i think is necessary for

can years to come and i vote for this. we have technical assistance just the best program we have. this is teaching other people how to do things with their hands that we can do. what foreign economic aid since the marshall plan has not in my opinion bought us any friends and i don't think you can buy friendship. i cannot buy yours and you cannot buy mine. if you show me how to do something you know how to do that makes you live better than i do, i will be your friend. that's the way i think we should be proceeding. if we have to have foreign aid, if we cannot live without it, and i think we can, why not try a multilateral approach where some other countries get in the act? we may be the richest country in the world that we cannot support the rest of the world much longer. in the course of barry's campaign he is traveling the length and breadth of the country. literally thousands of miles and wherever they can, his family,

his wife, peggy and their children are joining in his campaign. ,e is meeting the people face-to-face, and they're getting to know him and his family. here is his younger daughter, peggy. and his younger son, mike. it's because he is a devoted family man that barry goldwater presidential race because he believed so strongly and a free america. because he is dedicated to preserving the peace for all american families. wherever he goes he speaks out, fairly and forcefully on the issues. he answers questions and explains where he stands on domestic and foreign policy. everywhere he goes, the people are responding with enthusiasm for this new and different kind. barry goldwater has been on the go. it is a grueling schedule. whenever he can, he catches a quick nap with his daughter. and with his wife.

,oon it is back to the campaign where barry goldwater is calling for courage and integrity in meeting problems. to docalling for an end nothing policies, for progress based on a dynamic principles of the republic. he is calling for a rebirth of individual freedom. upon the free enterprise system. therefore, the ideas of the economic planners in washington, that a group of people sitting in washington can plan what the country is going to make, where it is to be made, the quality of the product, the price of a product, the wages to be paid, the profits to be made, etc.. system, whichhis is in simpler terms called socialism, has never worked in the history of the earth and has not been working today in countries where it has been tried.

thank you very much. thank you. hi, how are you. >> i think mr. goldwater is the man that we need. has gonehis country away from the principles on which was founded, and he is the man that will bring us back to the days of free enterprise and the vigor and youth that this country had, and the enthusiasm this people had. he's far as i'm concerned the only man that should be president because he's the only man who stands for something. >> i think he's the first man to run for president that i've seen in the past 30 years that will stand on the principles of the founding fathers who wrote the federal constitution. contract security is a between the federal government and you.

when i say you, it is all american people paying social security. i don't believe in breaking contracts. neither does the government. timee never at any advocated doing away with social security. , and iam concerned about wish there were more of us in like norse compton and myself who worry about this, is the fact that paying our money and dollars into social security, when we get to the age to get it back, we will not get our dollar back. the dollar today has reduced in value over 50% from what it was a mere 20 years ago. we might see a greater decrease with more inflation. i don't believe in inflation and do not think we should have unusual inflation in this country but to invite inflation by the deficit spending, this is what i'm trying to talk about and social security. i'm trying to get the older and younger people to realize that

this kind of wasteful expenditure, if it continues, when it comes time for them to get their social security, they will not do too well. i don't think you have to go further than ask recipients today of social security if they are living very high off the hog. they are not. ira number when i first went to .ork i read and add retire on $125 a month and they had a picture of a man and his wife sitting under a palm tree or orange tree in florida. i bought one. it is all paid up. retireget to be 605i can -- when i get to be 65 i can finally retire. what the problem is i cannot afford an orange tree. >> in new hampshire and in towns all of the state, coldwater has found a wonderful reception. he has found the people warm, friendly. his wife has been well received. there has been a surging

groundswell of support from goldwater's ideal of individual freedom and growing support for goldwater, the man. sometimes the man has to pause to take a brief breath. his greatick nap, strength and vitality are refreshed, renewed, and he is ready to meet the people once again. everywhere he is urging the voters to get out and vote, to vote for individual freedom on march 10. goldwater: there is a lot of importance to the vote on march with theurge you along others to get out and get your friends to the polls and make your vote count. barry goldwater urges you to take a look at american politics at home and abroad. for an american victory in 1964, photo barry goldwater -- vote for barry goldwater.
