ARMFIELD Editor and Publisher Published Every Friday In The Year Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at tht postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Can S. C. Save US From Communism? By SPECTATOR Communism is being discussed on every hand YearS ago Socialism seemed far off and Communism a mere thecry. But today Russia is making Communism the real issue everywhere. It is no dream now, but a reality v/hich we must reck on with. Wide-awake citizens are becoming concerned about Com munism in America. What is Communism? It is necessary to know what it is in or der to discuss it. Russia is the great example of Communism; and Russia is the great Apostle of Com munism, provided the other coun tries shall bow the knee to the Government of Russia. I quote The Charlotte Observer: “America and England alike believe in the supremacy of the individual; that, above all things else in a state, he, the man HAS SUPREME VALUE AND PRIORITY. They believe alike that government was created and exists not to serve its own ends, but essentially and exclu sively to serve the ends of its people. They alike believe that it is the sovereign right & responsi bility of the individual to set up his own government and to make it responsive to the popular will and should issue orders to, instead of take orders from, the govern ment. They alike believe that all the people have every right to fredom of speech, to freedom of religion, and to every other legiti mate freedom to live out their lives on the strength of Iheir momentum and in keeping with the several abilities with which they have been separately endowed. They alike be lieve that man was created in the image of God and is not a mere product of the barnyard and the pig sty. They believe alike in the sanctity of human personality, the dignity of truth, the realities of conscience, and both sink deeply their faiih in man as a rational, moral and spiritual being, capable of exercising choice, will and reason. These are some of the things which England and America believe to be the meaning of Demo cracy and the foundation of Christ ian truih. They are the things that constitute the very basis of the life and civilization of the West. For these things our free institutions have been created and are being maintained. All of them designed that man, the indi vidual, may strive to develop from out of the dust from which he was created, toward the divinity for which he is destined. Russia be lieves that the individual is of no consequence, that only the govern ment is vested with authority. Rus sia believes that it is the function of the state to tell every man, wo man, and child what they must oi must not do, upon penalty of Jeath. Russia believes that the in dividual has r.o ideas that he has any right to express unless they are in consonance with the ideas of the state. Russia believes that it is a mor ality to lie or steal or cheat to achieve the ends of government and to advance the philosophy of Com munism; that the government has a right to withhold the truth from the people when it considers that the truth might damage the state. Russia, furthermore, is irreconcil ably at enmiiy with every moral and religious instinct and accent ot historic America.” Brother Grady Hazel of The Pee Dee Advocate and Editor Gary Hiott of The Pickens Sentinel struck fire on two issues last week. Mr. Hazel dared to say a word in support of those who join the Ku Klux. And he said “I see less dan ger in it (Ku Klux) than in the ef- ft rts of the CIO and the AFL to unionize the South. Bravely said and aptly, too. Mr. Hiott, under the heading “Lets Hold the Fort Against Com munism,” says: “The CIO-PAC is already strongly entrenched in the East. ... It has great influence with the National Administration. Its ultimate goal is to gain complete control of the United States Gov ernment and transform it into a Communistic country. “If the drive of the CIO ana PAC to make America Communis tic is to be halted, the South and Middle West will have to do it, be cause it has already made too much headway in various other areas and is now driving into the South. Let the- people of the state keep the in fluence of these alien minded or ganizations out of our borders. The soil of South Carolina is saturated with the blood of patriots who gave their lives that this Nation might be free of European domination. If they could give their lives to es tablish the American form of gov ernment, surely we can give our votes to preserve it. A United Press report from New York quotes William Bullitt, our first Ambassador to Soviet Russia; as follows: “William C. Bullitt, former Am erican ambassador to Russia, charged today that Russia aims to conquer the world for Communism and said that the United States should “not hesitate to use the atomic bomb to stop new crimes of Soviet imperialism.” “The only to talitarian imperialism which threatens war in the world today is the Soviet Union,” Bullitt said in a new book called “The Great Globe Itself.” “There is no mystery in Soviet foreign policy,” he wrote. “The aim of Soviet foreign pol icy is constant to establish Com munist dictatorship throughout the earth . . . that is why Stalin is un appeasable.” “At some point,” he said, “we shall have to stop Sov iet imperialism or submit to Stalin’s rule. We can not get off this plan et. It is in our national interest to stop further aggressions by Stalin while his forces are still far from our shores and we have in our hands the means to stop him.” Our people must wake up. Out of all this comes the conviction that the South must save America for Americans. Perhaps South Caro lina is the hope of America. Americans should do some sc ber thinking. What about Russia? There are men among us who are opposed to Russia; others are endorsing Rus sia; many of us are strongly pro- American but not hostile to Rus sia. But—aye there’s the rub—we don’t know how to deal with Rus sia. The Russian Government seems to disparage and discredit our poli cies, our ideals, our Statesmanship and our economic order. How can you deal with a man who doubts you, your government and your people? The Russian is said to be a realist. Well, a realist must realize that we have done much for Russia. But Russia sees only the other side: that Russia did much to win the war. And she did. spelendidly, gloriously. We must not forget that. But Russia has grown accus tomed to the inverted idea of the Golden Rule, namely, “To do others before they do you.” Perhaps we should adopt the old adage ‘Be sure you’re right, then go ahead.” Have wt Americans always acted generously? Toward the Russians —yes. But this Soviet Government remembers that in 1919 America sent treops to Russia, against the Bolshevists—the . group now in power. You recall that we Ameri cans still talk about the Hessian soldiers sent here by the British during our revolution. So the Russians remember us.

Just as we call ourselves evangelical Christ ians, so Bolshevism is to the Rus sian a sort of political religion which he espouses with the zeal of a missionary. The Russian believes that he must spread his religion un til men everywhere become con verts. We Southerners should be able to understand the Russian distrust of Americans and Bhitish, for there are hundreds of thousands of Ame ricans who don’t trust “Yankees”, as was once the name given to all Northerners. So you will see how prejudices persist. Most of us have Northern friends, some of us have British friends,, but there you are. How shall we treat the Russians? We can’t become Russified; let us think clearly and act courteously but firmly. The Russians are not to be won by any timidity on our part, nor by our failure to assert vigorously every right. Let us act for our National interestr fairly and squarely, firmly and tenacious ly- The British and Americans be lieve that the Government exists for the welfare of the individual; the Russians believe that the indi vidual exists for the welfare of the Government. Our religion reveals that Providence dignifies us, en nobles us, by treating with each person as an individual; we must stand before God, each in his turn. Nothing is so ingrained in us as he responsibility of the indivdiual. So, with responsibility, the Creator gave us individual powers, faculties, tastes, opportunities. God does not deal with us as Americans, but as individual creatures. The Russian sweeps that aside. He would make the State, the Nation, great md powerful, and let the people be .-upets. But we recall the Christian concept; "Every one of us shall give accounts of himself unto God.” ; Should every man have the right to vote? That is interesting for a debate. One man says that the citizen who goes forth to battle is oaying the highest price for his dtizenship. What about educational malifications? Shall a man vote ,vho does not know the underlying jrinciples of this government? If that be the test, some of our men in mblic life should be disqualified. \s between an ignorant man and an -ducated man who subverts the aw and the Constitution, which is ncre harmful? Almost any ground or opposition to universal suffrage •an be knocked from under you by i bit of reasoning; but the fact eems to be that a great democracy .■an hardly hope to rise above the evel of the majority. If the ans wer to that is More Education, what io you mean by education? It is no disparagement of our chools and teachers to say that he greatest education is the mother; nd she is the world’s best, when he ministers to that eager little nind. Our schools and colleges can lever quite make up for the defi- •iencies of a home; nor can the •nurch and Sunday School do the- work of the home. Unfortunately, we are throwing our burden on the churches, Sunday Schools and pub lic schools. Burden? Opportunity, •ather, for who does not catch some of the dream of a little fellow?. If ill worked together—home, public ;chools, church and Sunday school —one thing only would be lacking— hat we men in the street would iractice what the children are taught. South Carolina seems to stand out for its Democratic party. Geor- 'ia, Albaama, Mississippi, Texas .hey have done for more talking than we have, but the South Caro lina Democratic party went on rec ord decisively in May for a white lemocracy. Let’s stick together on that. Mrs. Counts Honors Mower-Duncan Party Mrs. H. E.
