In France, leftist student an archy mushroomed into a Com munist-led labor demonstration that brought the nation to a halt. In the United States, the same kind of student activity threatens to cast sparks into the tinder of the multi-million dollar Poor People’s Campaign in Washington. No one would have suspected only a few weeks ago that the Communist Red Flag would soon be flying over scores of French schools, universities, factories, and even ships in har bor. So too. many people are hoping and praying that the Washington camp-in will be non-violent and without inci dent. Yet, under the surface calm of events, the presence of black and white militants offers the same potential for mob manipulation and crowd dynam ics that brought France to its greatest domestic crisis in ten Years. THE TECHNIQUE The basic technique progres sively multiplies frustration and popular involvement until an archy grows to such proportions that force alone can put it to an end. The original grievances are but a strategem to incite retaliation and arouse sympa thy for the rioters. In the United States, this technique succeeded at Columbia Univer sity, where, after months of planning, a tiny minority of 150 revolutionaries belonging to the Students for a Democratic So ciety stopped the functioning of the university for 17,500 stu dents. It U m coincidence that the •ame technique succeeded at the French unlversitiea. Student radicals today proclaim inter national solidarity and coor dinate slogans and plans. Discontented intellectuals us ually form the vanguard of rev olutions But the restless mi nority cannot achieve its goal unless it activates a broader base. In France, the broad base was the gigantic General Con federation of Labor, which has been openly dominated by Com munists for years. Catching the spark struck by the students, this highly disciplined organiza tion swiftly changed the thrust into a general threat against the government of France. CO&pnTNIST COALITION President DeGaulle's rule since 1958 has been marked by the withering away of most op position strength; only the Communist Party remained strong. Suddenly, DeGaulle was faced with the demand to bring Communists into his cabinet It is ironic that the last time Com munists officially held French Cabinet positions was in 1945- 1946, the first period when De- Gaulle ruled France. The so-called Poor People’s Campaign Is also directed against the government. The weeks of agitation and planning have brought thousands of peo ple to Washington without any concrete proposals. The leaders daily challenge regulations made for order and public safe ty. They preach opposition for opposition’s sake. Representative government cannot function in the presence of a mob. The very principle of our government is that legisla tive functions are delegated by the electorate to Senators and Congressmen. The convocation of thousands of self-appointed representatives in the very- shadow of the Capitol is an attempt to short-circuit the democratic process. LEADER’S STATEMENT Leaders of the so-called Poor People’s Campaign have al ready manifested this intention The Rev. Andrew Young, Exec utive Director of the Southern Christian Leadership Confer ence, is quoted in the press as saying: “We have marched here to demand that Congress and the executive branch of government share with us the power of self-government. If Congress doesn’t give as some of their power, we will take it all away from them. Such statements do not seek to improve legislation; they seek to overthrow the legisla ture. Although many people un doubtedly have joined the camp- in with good intentions, it takes only a tiny minority to set off mob action. Thus it is highly significant that the radicals from Columbia and other uni versities have been invited to come and join in the demon strations. Unless our leaders take firm steps to reassert law and order and the authority of govern ment, this nation may well be faced with a domestic crisis to rival the one in France fAfof prepared or printed at gov«mment expense) Joanna Church Has Homecoming The Joanna Church at God will ing each evening, have its annual homecoming June Rev.
