President Carter makes his inaugural parade on foot 'We will not behave.in foreign places so as to violate our iules and stdards here at home' From Fred Emerv Wash4igton, Jan 20 Mr;-Jimmy Carter, sworn in today as the thirty-ninth Presi- dent -of the United States, immnediately surprised' and de- lighted his countrymen by walk: ing hand in hand with his wife virtually the whole one-and-a- half miles of bis inaugtiral parade route. Obviously intending, this to be the start of the "people's presidency " he has proclaimed, Mr Carter aband-oned the arranged drive in a protected limousine, and, grinning, strode along Pennsylvania Avenue in sunlit cold to the delighted cheers of the tene'of 1thousands' of people lining the route. Nearing the end, the Carter's nine-year-old daughter Amy joined her mother and -father in the promenade, 'which by that time.was led by virtually the whole of Mr Carter's relatives. - Commenting on live television broadcasts, American reporters expostulated in amazement. Yet Mr Carter was merely imple- menting an inaugural speech pledge " to stay close- to you *.. After the parade Pre~sident Carter dismissed speculudi dtat the wiltk had been inmpromptu. He -had, he ed in- fiomied the seoret service of his I ntentions three weeks ago. In fact security had bcen tight, witnth oil windowss overlooking the route closed by order. In his inaugural speech Mr Carter urged Americans and their friends abroad to be maturely aware of human. limits, but none the less to be bold enlough to join in his " newv beginning ". He would try to shape "a just and peaceful world that is truly humane ". The 52-year-old peanut grower from rural Georgia, who only a year ago was best known as " Jimmy who ? " sounded the main themes of his victorious election campaign-a promise of compassion and compe. tence in government. But his message was soberly restrained, as if seeking deliberate contrast with the exuberant promises to the world of John Kennedy's in- augural 16 years ago. Mr Carter declared "We have learned that 'more' is not necessarily 'better', that even our great nation has its recog- nized limits, and that we can neither answevr all questions nor President Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, walking hand in hand down Pennsylvania Avenue, solve all problems. We cannot afford to do everything, nor can ve afford to lack boldness as we meet the future. So together, in a spirit of individual sacri- fice for the common good we must simply do our best." There was a cheer at this from the huge crowd, over 100,000 strong, thronging the Capitol grounds to glimpse the simple, dignified ceremony of the change of power. The quartet exchanging roles at noon-Mr Carter, Mr Ford, Mr Mondale and Mr Rockefeller- stood wvithout overcoats and hats in the keen wind knifing through the brilliant sunshine. For his promenade, however, Mr Carter Put on an overcoat. The first big cheer came at a different passage, and emanated from a youngish group of people at the rear of the huge crowd. The invited guests of the political establish- ment did not seem to catch on to what was taken-at least by those cheering-to be an anti- war message. Mr Carter declared: "'we are a strong nation and we. dwll maintain strength so sufficient that it need not be proven in combat-a quiet strength (cheers) ba0&d not merely on the size of' an arsenal but on the nobility of ideals." Mr Carter also called for renewed faith in government. Let our recent mistakes bring a -resurgent commitmnent to the basic principles of Our nation, for we' know that if we despise our own Government we have nO future.... The same lesson applied abroad:- "To be true to our- selves we must be true to others. We will not behave in foreign places so as to violate our s'rWes ead standards here at home; for 'we know that the trust which our nation earns is essential* to our strength.,, And tthere followed anotlher pledge. "Because we are free we can never be indifferent to the fate of freedom elsewhere. Our moral sense dictates a clear. cut preference for those socie- ties which share with us an abiding respect for individual human rights. We do not seek to intimidate but it is clear that- a- world- which others can dominate with -impunity would be inhospitable to decency and a threat to the well-being of aU people. T_hat passage, perhaps better than, any other, measures the distance between a guarded Mr C*arter and a Herculean Ken. niedk, ready to "bear any bur. derr.n pay any price-". Mr Carter's opening words had-been for the by-now former President Gerald Ford, who stood at his side, clearly moved. "I-want to thank my predeces. sor for all he has done to heal our land", he said, and affec- tionate applause welled up President Carter took the unusual step of broadcasting a message to the outside worid nn the day of his inauguration. He. said that he wished to assure everyone that "'the rela- tions-of the United States with the other countries and peoples of tlle world will be guided by our desire to shape a world order that is more responsive to human aspirations ". Moscow, Jan 20.-President Podgorny today sent Mr Carter a message expressing " con- fidence that it will be possible to achieve further considerable progress in the relations between the two countries by joint efforts ".-AP.
