Freedom Must Display Initiative, Says resident The concept of freedom must take the initiative all over the world and maintain it, President Milton S. Eisenhower said yesterday in his inaugural address. Many persons today allow themselves to be put on the defensive and apologize for the fact that the "motive of profit is the foundation,for our system of individual initiative and private enterprise," he. said. "There are two tragic errors in their reasoning," the president stated. "There never has been and never will be such a thing as a wholly social motivated by a purpose whi6 this nation has achieved, with seven per cent of the world's Population, nearly 50 per cent of the world's production—thus lifting the economic level of the ordinary man above that of the political or industrial executives in many countries." He said that instead of meriting criticism or apology, the Ameri can economic system should be acclaimed. If it were not for American economic strength at this moment, "freedom Quickly would be absorbed by statism all over the earth," he said. "It is this achievement of ours," he continued, "that the modern Tamerlane dewises and seeks to destroy. He de spices it in envy and would de stroy it in fear—fear that his subjugated people will learn about it and turn upon him." Guarantee of Peace President Eisenhower said the greatest guarantee of peace and freedom in the world today is a strong United States—strong economically, socially, morally and militarily. Possessing such strength, the nation must put it into action, he declared. The program of cooperating with all free nations "must include greatly expanded efforts to sup plant all ignorance and suspicion with that genuine understanding on which essential cooperation may proceed," he said. The president suggested that economic cooperation—not gift, but the sharing of technical knowledge—be granted to give people the hope that their efforts may help them better their nres (Continued on page two) •.. : By GEORGE GLAZER Tragic Errors zed democracy.

Stoddard hoped that Tenn State, along with other American universities, would promote such ideals and assume a position of national leadership.
