...town, and Darrell Mansell, editorial writer for the Canton Repository says, "This is a strong union area, not in a happy condition. There are a lot of short work weeks, lay-offs, and discontented people." According to Mansell, Eisenhower's "hero" status was a great advantage in Canton and Stark County, but "the New Deal made Canton Democratic...
That the interlude of commercialism disturbed most of the audience is unquestionably true. Whether one condemned it or relaxed and deemed it necessary depended on his own notion of this sort of meeting. Possibly no disarmament rally, however eloquent the speakers and however stark the facts they present, can inspire an audience to immediate action. Possibly no such rally in itself can crystallize the issue in people's minds.

Even to neutralists' skeptic eyes, the contrast between Ike's performance and Khrushchev's was stark. Eisenhower's remarks were not particularly eloquent, and invoked no propagandistic emotions: they were in West Point English, basic, clear, specific.

...self-defeating policy of deterrence. Today the choice before thinking Americans who are concerned about the future of the nation and of mankind is not total surrender versus total annihilation. This idea is either a deliberate invention to support the massive retaliation doctrine and the Cold War, or the stark formulation of helpless fear. The question before the United States today is whether to abandon all initiative in the international situation and continue to be guided by the logic of deterrence and the arms race; or to take up the initiative once again and experiment imaginatively and courageously with ways...
