The people of the world know that. They have known it for two centuries. That is why so many of them have come here and why so many more now try so desperately to reach American shores. If the source of our appeal were milltary strength. the Soviet Union would attract a goodly share of immigrants. since it too is a great power. But no boatloads of refugees risk their lives to reach Soviet soil. Indeed. as we pass laws to keep people out. the Communists build walls to keep them in. Foremost among American ideals is our beliefour faithin the worth of the individual.
