FORD LIBRARY\nOLDER AMERICANS.\nMary Stevens Carroll the Older Americans Coordinator in Montana\ntelephoned the Older Americans Desk this morning to say \"As I listened\nto Jimmy Carter debate the President last night on his conduct of foreign\naffairs, I heard him take on a belligerent tone. He said, \"I would\nconsider another Arab boycott an act of economic warfare and I could\nact accordingly!!' - then I heard the President tell of his. efforts\nto stabilize things in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. I realize\nwe are \"at peace\" thank God! No boy is facing the draft and an awful\nthought struck me. Every war in this century has been under a Democratic\npresident. World War I under Woodraw Wilson, World War II under Roosevelt,\nKorean conflict under Trumann and Vietnam under President Johnson.\nThe peanut farmer from Georgia is appealing but if the debate showed\nanything, it revealed a lack of knowledge and experience in foreign\npolicy by the man from Georgia and his tone when he said, \" I would\nconsider another Arab boycott an act of economic warfare and I will\nact accordingly!!\"\nIt made me realize this is not just another election - would history\nrepeat itself, would we be facing another war, the Democrat would say\n\"No\", but as Al Smith once said, \"Let us look at the records!\"\nJessica Swift from Vermont who is 105 was suggested as an Honorary\nChairman for Older Americans in her state.

He had been to the\nNational Council on Aging meeting to which the President\nand Carter had been invited. Roslynn came and made\na political pitch. The President sent Matthews who\nwas okay but little substance and everyone else\non the ticket was most political--including Senator Church,\nDaley and Governor Pryor of Arkansas who closed it with\nanother political speech. Only Dr. Flemming and\nHruska were there who were ardent Fordites.
