social' security on her own work
record and get wife’s payments j
from her husband’s social se-1
curity account, too 9

much of the war is being waged

Twenty years ago, the enemy

They must understand the nature
and the methods of the enemy.
To be an alert American
against state socialism within,
one does not train on a drill field.
One trains by reading and by
joining together with other con
cerned citizens to study books
that explain how the communitsts
and their secret sympathizers
work.
And when a citizen has learned
how the leftists carry out their
campaigns in lecture hall, press,
pulpit, and textbook, then one
must be active. In the course of
every congressional session, there
needs to be pressure groups for
America There must be citizens
who will write and wire their
congressmen and call for con
servative legislation and a halt to
creeping socialism in American
government.
There needs to be citizens who
will be informed and outspoken
against the muzzling of patriots,
for example There must be oth
ers who will protect against New

The war in which Americans
are engaged is a struggle between
state socialism and capitalist
freedom. Battles in this war in
clude such open struggles as Cu-
ab and Katanga and the less well
understood battles of books,
speeches and legislative action.
Every time a piece oi socialist
legislation gets through Con
gress, the United States loses a
battle. Every time a leftwing
professor, arguing against atom
ic bomb testing or against a free
enterprise economic system cap
tures the minds of some college
students, another battle is lost.
If America is to survive and
win the battle against state so
cialism, it will have to be because
of the home guard—because of
dedicated citizens who give of
their time and energies to in
form themselves and others as
to the issues facing this republic.
The United States needs mis
siles, bombers and submarines
to defend its shores. But military
hardware is no defense against
the pocket-size book on a news
stand rack, a book that presents
capitalism as a decaying sys
tem. Tanks are no weapon
against the leftwing columnist or
the broadcaster who smears
Western nations and presents ev
ery vest-pocket Afro-Asian dicta
torship as the new wave of the
future Divisions of troops will
do nothing to prevent leftists
from infiltrating the most sacred
of American institutions, the
churches that carry our religious
heritage.
Alert Americans at the grass
roots are the first line of defense
in the United States today. And
like all good troops, in order to
be effective they must be trained.
of uprooting sociallxt-conanmnlg
ideas fed into the stream of
American life in recent yean, la
every community, from hamlet
to big city, the time has come for
Paul Reveres who will make their
fellow citizens to the danger of
leftism within.
