...Different Mission. Having suggested a way in which the people could help, the President summed up: "We shall be conciliatory because our country seeks no conquests, no property of others . . . We shall be firm in the consciousness of your spiritual and material strength and your defense of the right. But we shall extend the hand of friendship to all who will grasp it honestly...
...time Dwight Eisenhower stepped off the Columbine in Geneva, 18 hours later, the people of the U.S. were already beginning to say special prayers for the success of his mission. As Switzerland's President Max Petitpierre welcomed him to the glistening city of the Parley at the Summit (see FOREIGN NEWS), Ike recalled an earlier and different mission to Europe.

Last week he asked the Episcopal Church on behalf of Airaku-en's Christians to establish a worldwide mission to victims of leprosy. By the standards he has set for himself, Aoki regards his life as a heartening success. His proof: although less than 1% of Okinawans are Christian, 34% of Airaku-en's 924 residents are Christian...
