THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
An early People-to-People reference in a speech which
General Eisenhower recorded in Europe on August 22, 1945,
for ceremonies at Freedom House, New York City.
"To reduce mutual suspicions and antagonisms it is
important that people -- and I mean the people themselves,
rather than only governmental representatives -- learn to
know more of each other. Among the soldiers now re-
turning to our shores from Europe, plenty can be found
who will object to certain policies and customs that they
encountered overseas. But few will you find who have
lived in Britain that do not like the British people. They
appreciate sincerely the hospitality and good humor that
they encountered in the British home and in public. The
same for large sections of Europe! Even though our re-
turned soldiers may complain about monetary rates of
exchange, you will find that almost all think of ordinary
European citizens as people much like themselves, and
in the circle of actual contact are losing those suspicions
we instinctively hold toward strangers. Admittedly a
whole world cannot become international travelers and
so learn these things at first hand. But there is recourse
to education! Particularly is it important that throughout
the world the history of all races and nations be accurately
written and taught. Knowledge of others is important to us.
From the primary grade to the master's degree, educators
must seek objectivity, honesty and a broadly human approach
to subjects affecting all peoples of the earth. In the pulpit,
the press, the radio, and every type of public organization
we should differentiate clearly between patriotism and
jingoism -- we should teach that knowledge leads to CO-
operation; ignorance to disaster!
