Sokolsky prestige during tin 1960 Campaign John Kennedy raised the Issue of american prestige. Never before in american history had any candidate for the presidency based Campaign on the decline of the prestige of country. It a Sharp blow at the morale of the country. If the prestige of the United stat. In i960 were compared with i Gbo the picture would have to be that in 1960 our prestige higher. But if the standing of this country in the world were compared a when Theodor Roosevelt president with the last Yea i of the Eisenhower administration one would have to say that we stood High r in Teddy Day. During the Campaign the debate sounded silly to those who held that prestige is unmeasurable. Tho conservatives held that those who possess and use Force have prestige and those who turn the other Che a get slapped twice. Lyndon Johnson running for vice president put tile democratic argument concisely when he said in Boston a under no single administration in am rican history has the position of our nation in tile world declined so far and so fast As it has under the present got administration a ibis is very Tough language and president Eisenhower took to mid denounced the denounces. Nixon though that prestige of tin United states at an nil time High which governor Rockefeller believed an exaggerated statement. So let us have a look at thus word prestige As we reach May in 1961 after the cuban debacle our prestige As a competent and prudent people has a new Low.

It in absurd to suggest that the United states had nothing to do with the cuban rebel activities. The leaders of the cuban rebels were in the United states in new York City in Miami and to a lesser extent in new Orleans. They were known to persons and to Lair activities were almost Public. Some of them discussed their plans with newspapermen. Throughout the period of preparation. The question regularly brought lip As to which of tile various rebel leaders would have the support of the state department and the Cia no secret made of seeking support no secret Mas made of the Ciao a support of the Verona group. Surely every is Rte agent of interested governments Fin the Job getting tins kind fit information and while some it it May have Ben incorrect and exaggerated those who had a right to be informed agreed on Basic data of Cia Aid to cuban rebels. I think that most americans Are pleased j lint the rebels should Haw been aided for two reasons i because Castro is so despised in this country and 2. Because it obvious to the Man on the Street that Catoris noisy courage jacked by real strength. Therefore when Tim rebels made for the beachhead it generally assumed mud the Cia had ample supplies. Ii now turns out that both assumptions Wolf incorrect. The Cia s information concerning Cuba so ins to have been no better than it wa., concerning sue or Hungary or Iraq. Or Summit conference at Paris or the attitude of schoolboys in Tokyo who kept president Eisenhower from visiting that country. It is Clear that the Cia needs an overhauling Ooth As to personnel and method. It employs too Many political philosophers who do their own evaluating and too few Ordinary spa who provide data without evaluation. By the time what Vei t i a s to the Cia reaches a president for a decision it Hae been mulled Over by the Junior political philosophers and is practically valueless. The Hoover commission of which presid it Kennedy father a member looked into the Cia and astonished at what they found. They requested general Mark Clark to make a study and to file a report. That report has been kept secret from the american Congress the american people. B fore president Kenned.
