- Lot Description
Kennedy, John Fitzgerald (1917-1963) Typed Mimeographed Notes for a Speech with Sections Crossed Out, 13 April 1956.
Six legal-sized sheets, the reproduction of a typed copy Kennedy had with him in Los Angeles, California on 13 April 1956, when he delivered remarks at the Town Hall Luncheon in that city; with the first paragraph crossed out, one underlined section at the foot of the first page, and another at the top of the second page; otherwise unmarked, 14 x 8 1/2 in.
[Together with] a typed press release, four pages, 14 February 1956, recounting the statement of Senator Stuart Symington (Democrat, Missouri) to President Eisenhower, bemoaning the underfunding of the military; with notes in Kennedy's hand on the verso of the last page, approximately eleven lines, 8 1/2 x 11 in.
Kennedy's talk in Los Angeles is entitled, "Colonialism and American Foreign Policy." He begins by citing press accounts of growing anti-American and anti-Western sentiments in Ceylon, Lebanon, South Africa, Indonesia, Cyprus, and Algeria, and goes on to tackle the problem head on. "We fight to keep the world free from Communist imperialism -- but in doing so we hamper our efforts, and bring suspicion upon our motives, by being closely linked with Western imperialism. [...] We have permitted the reputation of the United States as a friend of oppressed people [...] to be hitched to the chariot of the conqueror; because we have believed we could have it both ways. [...] If we are to secure the friendship of the Arab, the African and the Asian, we cannot hope to accomplish it solely by means of military pacts and assistance [...] the strength of our appeal [...] lies in our traditional and deeply felt philosophy of freedom and independence for all peoples everywhere."
Provenance: From the collection of Robert F. Morey, former U.S. Marshall and Kennedy aide; sold in these rooms on November 15, 1997.
Estimate $1,500-2,500
