But seriously, Gentlemen, I want to say that whichever of
these methods succeeds and as I have said, most of them are being
tested out today - this country of ours will move right along. Our
system is fundamentally sound. This is the greatest governmental
system in the world. Our press has helped to make it so. As I have
said before, our press has done a particularly fine job in making clear
to the people the full meaning of our policy of aid to Greece and Turkey.
Our press can take some share of the credit for the resounding ma jority
which the Greek and Turkish aid bill has just won in the House of
Representatives.
I am not here just to butter up the press. I don't think it
is perfect. But, it is the best press in the world and it is doing a
fine job. It is an integral part of our democracy.
This year there was issued a memorial stamp honoring the
memory of a great publisher - an immigrant, incidentally. One of his
sayings is printed on that stamp. I am glad it is there so it will be
read by everyone in our country. It expresses a profound truth: "Our
Republic and its press will rise or fall together".

Gentlemen, again I thank you for an extremely pleasant and
profitable evening, and I hope that you will invite me back to your
next dinner.
