CPYRtT rJban Argument
of the Editor: Congress-
man MacGregor has re-
cently been announcing to
the world that he has been
right all along on Cuba,
by. his advocating of the
"search and seizure" meth-
od, while I was supposed
to be wrong because I ad-
vocated a policy of back-
ing the President, and that
the President would be in
a better position to know
what is necessary than a
relatively uninformed con-
gressman.
The President has access
to the Information from
the intelligence services,
from th4l CIA and the Na-
tional Security Council.

if I, am, elected,. I prom-
ise not to be guilty of
exploiting public passions
in exchange for votes. I
will not offer military ad-'

publicly condemn the Pres-

while he has access to' all
the facts. , The time has

I promise a. return to that
