Nixon Praises Private Enterprise as Progress Engine
RICHMOND AP Nixon called private enterprise the nation’s greatest engine of progress and urged Americans to rely on enterprise rather than government to solve problems. He spoke to the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and later at Washington and Lee University predicting George Wallace’s third party bid would falter in fall. He defended U S policy in Vietnam, warned against violence, and urged a peace with troops home on a pace that avoids mobilizing teens. He criticized government spending and global balance of payments while stressing anti communism and world stability.
