Translation

"When President Johnson took control of our country after the tragic murder of President Kennedy, everyone understood that he was taking up a heavy yoke. Everyone admitted that his previous experience in the senate and his familiarity with the inner workings of our country showed that he would be able to hold the rudder of our country steady. He lacks, said some important political observers, experience and familiarity with international problems, but in the first case he demonstrated the he knows how to influence his one-time colleagues in congress to the side of the laws he is interested in, and in his early dealings with important leaders of other countries, he demonstrated the same understanding.

It seems that he will be capable to pass some important new laws through Congress this session. The late President Kennedy laid many hopes on his bill, that it would revitalize the economic situation of our country and reduce joblessness. Now, it seems the bill will be passed, and let us hope that it will in fact better the situation our country's economy finds itself in.

The Civil Rights bill will be harder. Though it has already gone through the House of Representatives, the stubborn, reactionary senators of the southern states have already organized to carry out a drawn-out filibuster in the senate, and do not want to allow this bill proposing equal civil rights to be taken into effect. The question remains, will President Johnson, who is himself a southerner and who will surely be nominated for the presidential seat on the Democrat ticket, influence his one-time senate colleagues from the south to move with the times and not stand in the way of passing the Civil Rights bill.

It should also be said here that reactionary Republicans aid these stubborn southern reactionaries. Pres. Johnson also spoke out very strongly in favor of the medical bill. He emphasized that the bill must be passed in the current session of congress.

We see through these acts that President Johnson is faithful to the program of the martyred President Kennedy and ready to fight with his prestige for the program. In this fight, he will recieve the full support of the Progressive/Liberal and Worker's power in this country.”
