814 ADDRESSES AND STATE PAPERS

The Republican Party reflects reason and profound concern over
the future of a society so permissive it has pointed our nation towards
anarchy. Campus rebellions are symptoms of this permissiveness run
rampant — where students demand and faculties capitulate.

I do not question that a degree of alienation exists. I do not deny
that there is always room for academic improvement. But real or
reasoned progress will never result from the abusive tyranny of stu-
dents who, to quote the University of Michigan daily, "take their
tactics from Gandhi, their philosophy from the classroom and their
money from daddy. "

Of even greater concern are the riots in our cities, caused in all
too many cases not just by evil conditions but by evil conditions and
evil men. We must confront the evil conditions and the evil men that
exploit them. Too often and too long our nation's intellectual, spir-

counseled with such men. If our nation is not to move toward two
societies — separate and unequal, white and black — America must
condemn those extremists whether white or black who prey upon
racism.

Without principle, we have lost all sense of perspective and value.
Free democracy is built upon a single great premise — civil rights must
be balanced by civil responsibilities. Rapidly, this principle has been
corroded. Civil disobedience has inevitably led to civil disorder. Pas-
sive resistance has given way to erosive force. Responsible leadership
has been obscured by the demagogue's harangue. Our valued demo-
cratic process has all but disappeared.

If peace and progress are to replace tension and turbulence in Amer-
ica's cities, law and order must first be restored. The Republican Party
shall make a firm commitment to the American people to work
through law to achieve a new and more perfect order — and we shall
work not out of fear of reprisal but out of certain faith that it is right.

The Republican Party offers an answer to the despair of the ghetto.
We propose to build initiative, not to perpetuate despair and de-
pendence. Our solution is not black power, but green power — the
power of the purse — Negro enterprise and industry. Our way is not
to separate America into two societies — black and white — but to see
that all of society shares the benefits our nation has to offer.

We must have peace at home and peace abroad. Permanent peace
can come only through strength. Too often our nation has lost the
