He Dlomiaed to seek the crea-
tion of nn international climate in
which "the nations cease to live in
trembling: before the menace' of
force."
Prayerfully the chief executive
in a relatively short inaugural ad-
dress pf about 2,000 words said he

to which we tire called and our
strength dedicated," he said.
The chief -executive said the
principal source of world turmoil
today was international commun-
ism, bu. he .expressed belief that
Communist forces had been severe-
ly shaken by the revolt in Hun-
gary. He said he thought recent
to the world "the readiness of men
events in Hungary demonstrated
who love freedom to pledge their
lives to that love."
Takes Second Oath
Mr. Eisenhower spoke before
massed thousands in front of the
Capitol building shortly after he
and Vice President Richard M.
Nixon publicly to<>k their oiiths of
office.
The oath-taking was a repetition
of the private ceremony held Sun-
day in the White House before 80
lelatives and close friends of the
fifi-year-old President and the 44-
year-old vice president.
The President's address cli-
maxed the solemn and ceremon-
ious aspects of the inauguration,
43rd in the nation's history. After
it came a 2Vfe hour parade, ledby
Mr. Eisenhower, from the Capitol
to the White House. The national
jubilee which marks the quadren-
nial occasion stalled Saturday aft-
ernoon and will end with festive
balls continuing into the small
hours of Tuesday.
"We voice our hope and our be-
lief that^we can helo to heal this
'livided world," the President said.
"Thus may the nations cease to
live in trembling before the men-
ace of force. Thus may the weight
of fear and the weight of arms
be taken from the burdened shoul-
ders of mankind."
The Russian People
The President made a particular
point of extending an expression
of potential American friendship
to the people of Russia. He did
not. however, include the leaders
of the Soviet Union in this friend-
ly nhase of his message.
He said the people of this coun-
try "honor, no less in this divided
world than in a less tormented
time, the people of Russia." The
President wished the Russians
success in educational and indus-
trial development, greater intellec-
tual freedom and security, and
"fuller enjoyment of the rewards
of their own toil."
"For as such things may come
to pass," he added, "the more cer-
tain will be the coming of that
day when our peoples may freely
meet in friendship."
The President gave his second
inaugural address a. specific title
—"The Price of Peace."
He explained his reasons for ac-
centing this point:
"Splendid as can be the bless-
ings of such a peace, high will be
its cost: in toil patiently sustained,
in help honorably given, in sacri-
fice calmly borne."
Must Pay ""Price
"We are called to meet the
price of this peace/' he said.
"To counter the threat of those
who seek to rule by force," he
continued", "we must pay the costs
of our own needed military
strength, and help to build the se-
curity of others. We must use our

scene of suffering may be from

The President dealt at length
with his belief that the nations of
the world have become increasing-
ly interdependent, with mutual re-
sponsibility extending far beyond
the borders of a single country.
He said that the economic needs
of all countries made isolation "an
impossibility."
"Not oven America's prosperity
could long survive if other nations
did not also prosper," he said.
"No nation can longer be a for-
tress, lone and strong and safe.
And any people seeking such shel-
ter for themselves, can now build
only 'their prison."
Wants II. X. Stronger
The President pointed out that
the United States must recognize
her "deep involvement in the des-
tinv of men everywhere" and ac-
cordingly, should attempt to
strengthen the authority of the
United Nations.
"In that body rests the best
hope of our age for the assertion
of that law bv which all nations
ranv live in digni;y," he said.
The President ignored domestic
nroblems except as ,they are re-
lated to the international scene.
He concentrated 05 peace.
"We look upon this shaken
earth." he said, "and we declare
oui* firm and fixed purpose the
building of a peace with justice
in a world where .moral- law pre-
vails." .
"The building of such a peace
is a bold and solemn nurpose. To
-proclaim it is easy. To. sei-vc it
will be hard. And to attain it, we
must be aware of its full meaning
and readv to pay its full price."
He said the possession of pow-
erful modern weapons could not
in itself assure po-icte-poace must
be rooted in the lives of nations
through justice and Taw "steadily
invoked and respected by all na-
tions."
He envisioned a United Stales
friendly and helpful to all nations
that nre or would be free.
"When, in time of want or peril,
thev ask our help, they may hon-
orably receive it; for we no more
seek to buy their sovereignty than
we would sell our own—sovereign-
ty is never bartered among free
men."

UN Security Council Meets Monday
To Act On Future Kashmir Status
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Staff Correspondent
India is about to p'.ay the un-
accustomed role of a country that
does not want to talk about the
right of self-determination.
The United Nittioris Security
Council meets' Wednesday to dis-
cuss the future of the state of
Kashmir, which has been in dis-
pute between Indi,*i and Pakistan
since 1947.
Pakistan wants the U. N. to con-
duct a plebiscite so that Kash-
mir's people can decide for them-
selves whether to unite with India
or Pakistan.
P r i 111 e Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru of lndi,-i is one of the
world's foremost supporters of
the right of peoples to self-deter-
mination.
In this Distance, however, Neh-
ru is 011 the other side. He does
not want a plebiscite.
Reason Nehru Is Opposed
The trouble is Nehru knows
that if a plebiscite were held, the
Kashmiris would vote to join Pak-
istan. He said at a meeting of his
governing congress party in New
Delhi last Tuesday that the U. N.
should confine itself to the ques-
tion whether Pakistan has been
the aggressor in the dispute over
Kashmire.
So on Wednesday, the prospect
is that V. K. Krishma Menon, In-
dia's chief delegate to the U. N.,
will argue that the plebiscite issue
should not oven be debated.
When India ,und Pakistan were
given their lYeedom in 1947, what
had been British India was divid-
ed between them. The division
was made on the basis of religion
—Hindu areas to India, Moslem
areas to Pakistan.
Kashmir is a Moslem area
which has long been under the
rule of Hindu maharajas.
After the 1947 partition, both
India ,and Pakistan moved troops
into the area. There was bitter
fighting between Indian and Pak-
istani troops, and tribesmen who
supported one side or the other,
from Octobei, 1947, to the end of
1948.
'Chen the U. N. drew a cease fire
line between the contending forc-
es. India remained in occupation
of two-thirds of Kashmir..Pakistan
stayed in the remaining one-third.
The U. N. called r«r a plebiscite
after both Indian and Pakistani
armies lvul withdrawn.
Nehru agreed to the plebiscite
at one time, but he started to
specify conditions that blocked it.
Chiefly, he deniarids that Pakis-
tani troops get out first. He also
wants troops get out first. He also
wants troops to be stationed in
Kashmir during the vote—ill the
proportion of seven Indian sol-
diers to one Pakistani soldier.
More than '■! million of Kashmir's
4,400,000 people are Moslems.

Wist Germany's importance in
the European political set-up is
growing rapidly.
It is being suggested that West
Germany will be regarded before
long as the strongest power on the
Western European continent.^
The latest evidence of this in-
creased importance is the report
that if German, Lt. Gen. Hans
Speidel, is to be named comman-
der-in-ehi^f of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization ground forces
in the Central European Zone.
In that capacity, Speidel would
command American. British and
French as well as German troops
in '.hat part of Western Europe
which would be the first line in
event of a war with Soviet Russia.
It is reported also that both
President Theodor Heuss and
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer will
make state visits to Washington
this spring.
Prestige Growing
The prestige of West Germany
has been growing steadily for a
long time.
Under Adenauer, the country
has risen from utter prostration
after the destruction of World
War II to solid prosperity. Its'50
million people enjoy full employ-
ment. It is forming an army, navy-
and air force which will add be-
tween .'{00,000 and 500,000 men to
tlu NATO defense alliance.
But West Germany's position
was strengthened especially, as
regards prestige, as the result of
the British-French .invasion of the
Suez Canal one.
That operation, which hurt Brit-
ain and 'France, and resulted in
a breach with the United States
that has not yet been entirely
overcome, made West Germany
look better by contrast.
It seemed a matter of some sig-
nificance that Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru of India made
it a point to stop off at the Dues-
seldorf Airport on his way home
from Washington last month to
confer with Adenauer.
Russia Realizes Strength
No country realizes more than
does Russia the strength and im-
portance of West Germany.
East Germany, which Russia
controls, is a splinter country with
a contemptible puppet govern-
ment. Of the 1ft million people in
East Germany, 1,72.1,000 have
sought refuge in West, Germans
since 1949.
Bocause Russia sees the impor-
tance of the "West German repub-
lic, it is determined not to per-
mit the unification of the country.
