THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
.ty
PEACE WITH A PURPOSE
A Proposal for the Nobel Peace Prize
As courage and competence beget esteem, President Nixon's drive for peace
with a purpose has put him in place for world recognition of his extraordinary
personal effort.
FINANCE MAGAZINE joins with Senator Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania to
initiate the Nixon nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Never a man to sit in a game with a weak hand, our President has put it all
together. What the world has witnessed this year was the sudden conversion of
an idealistic vision of peace into a more realistic version of working together
instead of fighting wars.
The credit for such courage in the subtle but always dangerous game of
great power politics with such unlikely and unpredictable partners as Russia and
China should be marked for the historic record through the Nobel Peace Prize.
There is no doubt that President Nixon commands global respect as a statesman
who can deal convincingly with foreign affairs. And there should be no doubt
that he has put world welfare ahead of political concerns.
When a president, or any person, pursues peace as an end in itself, not as
a current achievement but as a carefully built system of stability for the years to
come, he deserves the supreme recognition for his personal genius at home and
abroad.
At home, we can prove our understanding and appreciation at the polls
where we have the opportunity to show we know the difference between rhetoric
and reality. Abroad, we can spread the word that Richard Nixon and the United
States stand for peace with a purpose.
Our great President has said it for all of us, "In seeking to prevent war, we
seek also to make possible those advances in human well-being, in the arts and
science and philosophy, in the enriching of human experience, that define man's
highest destiny here on earth."
