English subtitles for clip: File:1958-08-14 Ike Tells UN.ogv

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,240
President Eisenhower makes his first appearance before the United Nations General Assembly

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,560
since presenting his Atoms for Peace plan nearly five years ago.

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,160
Addressing the emergency meeting on the Middle East crisis, the President urges a six-point

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:21,080
plan that includes direct United Nations action and a massive economic development program.

5
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:27,640
It is my earnest hope that this assembly, free of the veto, will consider how it can

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,480
assure that continued independence and integrity of Lebanon.

7
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:40,360
Thus, the political destiny of the Lebanese people will continue to lie in their own hands.

8
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,280
Another urgent problem is Jordan.

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,800
If we do not act promptly in Jordan, a further dangerous crisis may result.

10
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,200
For the methods of indirect aggression discernible in Jordan may lead to conflicts

11
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,040
endangering the peace.

12
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:02,800
This world of individual nations is not going to be controlled by any one power or group

13
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,440
of powers.

14
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:11,720
This world is not going to be committed to any one ideology.

15
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:18,120
Please believe me, when I say that the dream of world domination by one power or of world

16
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:25,040
conformity is an impossible dream, we must then seek with new vigours, new initiatives,

17
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,600
a path to a peace based on the effective control of armaments,

18
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:36,400
on economic advancement and on the freedom of all peoples to be ruled by governments

19
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,280
of their choice.

20
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,800
Only thus can we exercise the full capacity God has given us to enrich the lives of the

21
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:56,160
individual human beings who are our ultimate concern, our responsibility and our strength.

22
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:04,640
In this memorable task there lies enough work and enough reward to satisfy the energies

23
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,997
and ambitions of all leaders everywhere.

24
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,040
The first contingent of Marines to depart from Lebanon embarks on landing ships at a

25
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,416
Beirut beach, almost a month after the landing that electrified the world.

26
00:02:31,896 --> 00:02:37,000
About 1,700 leathernecks are moving out, just over a tenth of the 15,000 American troops that were

27
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,080
moved into Lebanon at the request of the government.

28
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,920
Lebanon's presidential election has come and gone but no official request for a troop

29
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:48,080
withdrawal has been made and the effect of this move is uncertain.

30
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,760
The rebels, still under arms, see it as a token gesture.

31
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Pro-government forces would like to see the Marines stay.

32
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,080
President-elect Chehab kept silence.

33
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,080
Washington attributes no significance to the move.

34
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,360
From one source, an unqualified favorable reaction,

35
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,840
from 1,700 Marines, relieved of an assignment that brought them no excitement but plenty

36
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,142
of trouble, worry, hard work and red tape.

37
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,080
Ten thousand tons of American wheat arrive at Aqaba, Jordan's only port.

38
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,440
One of a series of emergency shipments to relieve the chronic shortages of food in that

39
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,600
beleaguered kingdom.

40
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:30,200
His borders with Israel and Nasser's violently hostile United Arab Republic are effectively

41
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,200
sealed off.

42
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,840
Only American economic aid and British assistance in the form of military and monetary aid have

43
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:43,480
enabled Jordan to survive so far.

44
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Ending a unified economic program for Jordan and all the Middle East, King Hussein's nation

45
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,920
lives literally from day to day, isolated and wholly dependent on the West for its independence

46
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,816
and survival.

47
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,200
The submarine Nautilus receives a gala harbor welcome as she sails into Portland, England,

48
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,186
completing an 8,100 mile, 21 day voyage from Honolulu across the top of the world

49
00:04:11,186 --> 00:04:13,195
under the North Pole.

50
00:04:13,195 --> 00:04:17,400
For the event, her skipper returned by air from Washington where he'd been flown immediately

51
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,549
after the Nautilus emerged from under the Arctic ice cap.

52
00:04:23,595 --> 00:04:28,520
After 96 hours under the ice, the nuclear powered sub surfaced within 10 miles of a preset

53
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,960
target point, an incredible feat of navigation.

54
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,560
Adding to the excitement of her arrival was the use of another atomic sub, the Skate had

55
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,800
also cruised under the pole and that the Sea Wolf, a third, was cruising in the Arctic.

56
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,520
But the glory of the first subpolar transit belongs to Commander William Anderson and his

57
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,920
116 men crew, well deserving of the Presidential Unit Citation for pioneering a new sea lane

58
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,895
across the top of the world.

59
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,840
New York's arrival of the week, composer and singer of the worldwide smash hit song,

60
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:21,843
"Nel blu, dipinto di blu", Domenico Modugno.

61
00:05:53,691 --> 00:05:57,960
His song is a number one hit everywhere in the world, which calls for a gold token of

62
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:04,053
appreciation from Decca Records Executive Vice President Leonard Schneider and Domenico reacts.

63
00:06:08,647 --> 00:06:09,936
Volare! He's flying!
