DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday by THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT CO.. INC. Entered at the Decatur, Ind., Port Office as Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller. Jr. President John G. Heller Vice-President Chas. Holthouse Secretary-Treasurer A Clear Voice, And Loud Finally, a leader of the western world has spoken up in defiance of Russia. President Kennedy, in his statements on America’s attitude toward the Cuban situation, has left no room for doubt in anyone’s mind. Whether they agree with the President’s thoughts on the subject or not, anyone hearing them can have no question as to what he believes. This in itself is heartening. So many times, in answer to the rantings of the Kremlin, the western leaders have spoken out in wishy-washy nondescripts that make the hearer wonder just what they said, or if anything was said. But more heartening is the fact that President Kennedy made a clear statement of policy. Without mincing any words, the President told the world in general and the Kremlin in particular that Americans would only be pushed so far, and that limit had almost been reached. He also added what Would happen if the limit was reached. It is not a fact we like, but nonetheless, their is only one language the Russians understand — and that language was used very clearly by the President. President Kennedy has no intention of letting the United States be used as a continual “fall guy” for Russian foreign policy. If the Russians think we will meekly stand by and watch little bits of Latin and South America be whittled away by the bloody knife of communism, then they are mistaken. And if the Russians think we will hang our heads and be ashamed of the democratic way of life, they are also sadly mistaken. Editorial Writer Today Dick D.
