...word has got around, said Ike, that his request for a five-year extension of the reciprocal trade act was just a bargaining point. "I would like to set the record straight. It is a proposal dictated by the facts." Among the facts: six principal nations of Western Europe are embarked on a program of tariff reduction that will result in a tariff-free common market expected in 1962-and the U.S. will need the powers set out in the reciprocal trade act to bargain with the common market area to mutual advantage...

Not church, he held, but scripture is the true channel of grace-the Word and man's will lead to faith, and faith in Jesus Christ will redeem man from his sins. So sure did he feel of "justification by faith" that in his translation of the Bible he dared to insert the word "alone"' on his own authority. Against what he saw as a privileged caste of priests, he maintained "the priesthood of all believers...
