THE INAUGURAL—'ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY’ What follows is the text of President Kennedy's Inaugural Address delivered in Washington on Jan. 20, 1961. Vice President Johnson. Mr. Speaker. Mr. Chief Justice. President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman. Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens We observe today, not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom—symboliz- ing an end as well as a beginning—signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago. The tvorld is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe —the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the ivord go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and un- willing to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this na- tion has alicays been committed, and to which ice are committed today at home and around the tvorld. Let every nation know, whether it tvishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge—and more. PLEDGE TO ALLIES To those old allies tchose cultural and spiritual origins we slutre. we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of new co- operative ventures. Divided, there is little tve can do—for we dare not meet a power- ful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be re- placed by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own free- dom—and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside. To those peoples in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, tve pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required—not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it can not save the few who are rich. To our sister republics south of our border, tve offer a special pledge—to convert our good words into good deeds—in a new alliance for progress—to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house. LAST HOPE FOR PEACE To that world assembly of soverign states, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of ivar have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support—to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective—to strengthen its shield of the new and the iveak—and to enlarge the area in tvhich its writ may run.
