—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 8, 1965 4 From Where We Stand... Reader Says U.S. On Road To Communism In response to our editorial on April 24 What Is An “American" Nazi Party 9 a man wrote that he had come across a copy ol our paper in a hotel room m Easton, Maryland (my, don twe get around'l He suggested that our concern over the attention given to George Lincoln Rockwell and his “American” Nazis is unwarranted He said that Rockwell is just a smoke screen laid down by communist inter ests Well, that is possible, and we wouldn't dispute that point without more information. But the reader went on to say that Woild War II and all of the events that lolloped it were part of l a planned pioceas, a blueprint to advance the cause of communism ” This we can not accept Nor can we accept this reader’s view that the official policy of the US. government is to lead the world down the load to communism Unfortunately, his views on this matter are shared" by too many good Americans. While they speak of “com munist smoke screens'’ they are in fact the victims of a far more dangerous smoke screen. They make the age old mistake of accepting anything anti communist as good on the premise that if communism is evil, then anti-com munism must be good. Our own government has a history of following that philosophy with dis asterous results. Following the second world war, we supported tyrants the world over for one reason; they claim ed to be anti-communists. We have been paying for this mistake ever since in lost prestige and. the loss of potential friends. We failed to recognize a world wide trend; the masses are on the move! The communists recognized this fact long ago in many cases they insti gated that movement with their ridicu lous promises of “follow us and you can all live like kings l ” They “sold” com munism, while we apologized for capita lism and tried to support the status quo among the world’s leaders no matter how tryranmcal they were. Have we strayed so far from in dependent thinking that we are willing Agr.

Doesn't anyone have any faith in democracy anymore? We do! And we hope you do America is one of the world's youngest nations, yet we have managed under one form of government longer than any country now in existence' We are engaged in a fight against com munism on all fronts. It is a fight to maintain our position of leadership in the world, it is f t,o a fight for self pienervation 1 kfs wage that battle with positive salesmanship, not with negative apologies and too-little too-lalc actions We've got a pioduct that is uni que in all the world American demo cracy (This does not mean that any other form of democracy is no good; that's another fact we’ve been late in learning) The standard of living and the political and economic freedom enjoyed by our citizens are practically incon ceivable to people in many parts of the world. Let’s sell some of this success to the poor suckers who are presently buying communism because its the only positive philosophy being offered to them, and because its purveyors have established more strategically-located and more aggressive ‘‘distributors”. In the past few years we seem to have made a good approach to the pro blem. Not the least of these is the Peace Corps (but the Administration seems to be jeopardizing that now with its ef forts to mass-produce candidates to satis fy the increasing demand, and by lett ing Sargent Shriver dilute his leader ship with time spent on the so-called Job Corps). The point of this can be summed up simply. Let’s stop our policy of “counter-punching”; of policies based on reactions to communist actions. Few battles were ever won by retreating or by waiting to see what the opposition would do, and then reacting usually America. Let’s make our product known too late We’ve got something good in to nations that need it and if necessary, help them into a position where they can afford to buy it' Communism must not be their only alternative.

In this sin there’s no fun Envy has been called the “last infirmity of noble minds,” mean ing that no person is too noble to have an attack of it. A man may be in most respects a good man, yet his own envy 7 can ruin him. One of the classic stories of envy and what it can lead to is found in the Old Testament story of Saul and David. Saul, the king, hated and envied the young army officer David. There was no rea son for hating him; he certainly did not hate King Saul in return. Saul tried many times to murder David, and failed. David had more than one good chance to assassinate Saul, but did not try. The envy was ail on one side. The details can be found in the Bible in I Samuel from chapter 17 to the end, in Saul’s death by suicide. It is the story of how the soul of an able and at one time good man w 7 as eaten away by the cancer of envy. Most sms have some pleasure attached. Even a murderer may get some satisfaction from Ins victim’s screams; but an envy-ridden man gets no satisfaction at all. Now Is The Time . . .

This is a form of pride, though not the same thing. Prida needs no audience. One can bo one’s own Admiration Society. Arrogance is always against others. There is a gentle and courteous arrogance, as when one “damns with faint praise” what someone else has done very well. There is also the arrogance of street gangs in a groat city, rough and cruel. But arrogance is al ways pride lucking (literally or figuratively) someone else around. This shows up in the case of Saul, who was in fact a textbook case of this dread di sease of the spirrt. He consi dered (rn trme) that being chosen as king was a recognition of his ability, and when he ran into a better man, which David was, he could not be happy about it. He heats David like dirt, and takes it as a kind of insult that God should now favor David over Saul. So the fruit of envy is hatred not hate, which can come in a single flash, hut hatred which lingers long like a slow poison. Side effects <* Cancer has a sneaky way of changing its location, (Doctors call it metastasis.) Driven out from one place, it turns up some where else. What are perhaps called side effects at first turn out to be the main attack. So the cancer of envy has its terrible side effects, notably fear and falsehood. Underlying all envy is a constant gnawing fear , . . . fear that some one else hates me as much as I hate him, fear that the one envy will in the end “do me in"; fear of failing where my “enemy” succeeds, fear of ridi cule, even fear of death. All this came to pass in the soul of Saul. Falsehood was there too. The heart of the falsehood which is a side effect of envy is that the en vious man will never admit what is perhaps plainly the case, that his rival is after all the better man. Further, the envy-infected man can no longer think honestly about himself or those he envies. If you asked him directly, he would tell you he hasn’t a streak of envy in him anywhere, all he wants is justice. Such twisted souls can be saved only by a major operation. The trouble with Saul and with most of those like him, is that the opera tion may be stubbornly resisted till too late.
