Reagan is the key to' world peace, us says ,t By GEORGEA KOVANIS Special to the Daily DETROIT - Re-electing President, Ronald Reagan is the most important step in securing world peace, Vice President George Bush, amidst chants of "four more years, four more years," told an audience of about 1,800 yester- day. "I really feel that helping ,President Reagan return to the White House is the most important thing that I personally - or anyone - can do for world peace," Bush told Republicans gathered in Cobo Hall for the Republican Party's state convention. "WE MUST have a strong leader in the Oval Office," he said. "You'll never hear this president or Vice President apologize for the United States of America." And according to Bush, Reagan has been a strong leader. "Because of our, strength, firmness and decisiveness, America is safer today, believe me, it is safer today than at any time in the nuclear age," he said. "Leadership has brought more than new hope for opportunity and prosperity at home. It's also brought new hope for peace, freedom, and democracy throughout the world," Bush said. BUT THIS peace and freedom is dependent on a strong defense, the vice president said. "It is absolutely essential that we be strong enough.. . to keep the peace," Bush told reporters at a press con- ference following his address. "Because we strengthened our defen- ses, we are better able ,to keep the peace because we can deter war," he told the convention. Bush said "we'll continue to stand for peace, freedom, and democracy throughout the world." BUSH STRESSED the steps toward an economic recovery which have been made since the Republicans took office. He said the recovery is due to Reagan's leadership. "That's what trust in the American people can do - trust and one other thing - leadership." Referring to Reagan's Democratic opponent, Bush said, "Walter Mondale said we couldn't bring unemployment down. President Reagan said we could. He did."
