THE

FORUM

In what turned out to be
his dying declaration, Senator
Robert Taft warned the then
new Republican administra
tion that it could accomplish
none of the domestic reforms
promised in the 1952 plat
form unless and until it came
to grips with “our foreign
policy upon which all other
policies depend.” The advice
was ignored and the platform
that attracted so many votes in 1952 has remained unfulfill
ed to this day.
If Senator Taft were alive today he would advise Presi
dent Kennedy to forget the New Frontier and come to grips
with the policy that has determined, now determines and will
continue to determine all other policies of this Administra
tion. Our pernicious foreign policy w^as conceived and ra
tionalized during World War II when the Soviet Government
became “our noble ally” against Hitler. Our present formula
is substantially the same today as it was fifteen years ago in
spite of the fact that the Communists have repeatedly declar
ed war upon us. They have shot down and imprisoned our
soldiers and they have violated every pledge they have made
to four Presidents of the United States.
The Communists have made a shambles of the United
Nations and defaulted upon their financial obligations to
that body. They have stolen our vital secrets and infiltrated
our government with their spies and saboteurs. They trick
ed us into a three year atom-testing moratorium which we
have observed and which they secretly violated.
Now they have walled us out of East Berlin but we con
tinue to deal with them as if they were civilized people, capa
ble of honest negotiations. Whatever our new policy is must
be based on the fact that Communism is destroying our
Judeo-Christian civilization. Basically, its world-wide war is
against God and the Ten Commandments. Our foreign policy,
however, is to ignore our friends, court the neutrals, and aid
our enemies. The wonder is that we have survived during
the years that this policy has been in force. On Robert Taft’s
tombstone is this inscription: “No foreign policy can be jus
tified except a policy devoted without reservation or diver
sion to the protection of the liberty of the American people.”
All of us must come to grips with that policy now, while
there is time left to save American liberty and thus free
mankind from the scourge of Communist slavery.
The Reds are doing very well with the American-made
military installations they have taken over in Morocco, Laos,
and Iraq. They expect, no doubt, to do as well in the South
Viet Nam and West Berlin. The first thing we should do, it
seems clear, is to quit aiding the enemy. We could begin with
Cuba. Castro’s planes and patrol cutters now r make a practice
of running dowm and machine-gunning fleeing anti-Commun-
»
ists many miles outside Cuba’s territorial w r aters. Our Navy
could stop this by patrolling the high seas off the Florida
coast. Our continued trade with Cuba, about 40 million dol
lars a year, is supplying Castro with the dollars he needs to
support his Communist espionage and propaganda activities
in Latin America. In the last session of Congress the House
passed a bill imposing an embargo on cur trade with this
enemy. The State Department stalled it in the Senate. Last
May we gave Castro more than 460 thousand dollars as our
part a United Nations grant to Cuba, and this was almost
half of the total grant. In the Congo, w^e are putting our fud
financial support behind the UN effort to force pro-Western,
antLCommunist Katanga province into the Soviet-backed,
Communist-controlled central Congo government. If our
membership in the UN requires us to aid our Communist ene
mies then we must come to grips with this foolish phase of
our foreign policy and get out of the UN and get the UN out
of the United States. We are giving millions to the Com
munist government of Poland which, in turn, is lending it
to Castro. We are giving millions to Tito, who is the official
broker for Communists aid all over the world. But w r e do
nothing to restore freedom in those captive nations because
“it is not our policy to encourage dismemberment of the So
viet Union.”
When popular opinion catches up with our State De
partment, more and more anti-Communist meetings will be
held, and more and more businessmen are going to join with
the many who now have the courage to amplify these meet
ings with radio and television broadcasts, so that all Am
erica will know the truth. The truth is that “No foreign pol
icy can be justified except a policy devoted without reserva
tion or diversion to the protection of the liberty of the Am
erican people.”
THE NEW LEADERS
| The current swing to conserva-
i tive thinking among young peo
ple. in my opinion, is a mighty
| good sign that sanity is begin
ning to show up in our political
| thinking. Regardless of party,
I when youngsters begin to ask
I what they can do to preserve the
priceless heritage of America ag
ainst inroads on freedom and lib
erty, we can all view the future
with optimism. I believe that Am
erica can be safe today only if its
youth want it to remain the real
fortress of freedom.
The School of American Studies
at Harding College this summer
programmed two “Seminars in
Americanism” designed specifical
ly to inform and inspire high
school students. Altogether, 339
honor students and sponsors from
several states came together for
a week of study under the direc
tion of Dr. Clifton Ganus, director
of the School of American Studies.
These seminar scholars, top stu
dents in various high sihools,
wanted to develop a better under
standing of what makes America
the nation of greatest personal
freedom and economic well-being.
Ready To Lead
I believe they are today better
informed, more dedicated Ameri
cans, ieady to spread the good
word about the American way of
life. Hearing lectures, viewing
films, engaging in group discus
sions, these outstanding young
^ people showed lively interest in
getting to the issues that face the
nation. They will make good citi
zens of their various communities,
the state, and the nation. Their
awakened interest in good govern
ment will make them intelligent
voters.
They also will become leaders.
One wrote back telling of schedul
ing 16 talks, remarking that he
wanted to keep the same spirit in
his own program that he found
here. Another, reflecting upon his
experience at the Seminar, describ
ed it as “a return to Christian
statesmanship for the search for
knowledge and true value.” A
sponsor wrote: “As always the
students are thrilled, enthused,
and very much inspired by the
forum. They have been asking for
opportunities to speak to groups
about America and about prob
lems we face.”
Dedicated Youth
This enthusiasm was a most
genuine and sincere expression
about the peril our nation faces
today. Twenty-five teachers of so
cial studies from eight states also
came for a separate 5-week train
ing program planned for them.
The teachers expressed themselves
with similar feeling. All of them
thought the program helped de
velop within themselves a better
understanding of the basic prin
ciples of Americanism, by which
this nation has become the leader
of the free world.
One of the teachers said: “I
have realized that this problem of
Communism is a subject that
might concern us out that it will
concern us and not just the fu-
; ture generations.” Another: “How
I perilously close we are to losing
that precious heritage through our
own apathy, false impressions, ig
norance, complacency, and negli
gence of our duties as citizens.”
Another: “I have never seen such
dedicated young people. I just
can’t believe that Communism will
take over now. I pray that it
won’t.”
Teachers Influential
All of these teachers want to do
something about the dangers fac
ing the nation and endangering its
freedoms. They want to develop
among their students and in their
communities a better understand
ing of the American way of life.
This is just one example of the
influences that are today being
brought upon youth to re-evalu
ate themselves and their view
points. If we can inform our
young people, they will become
straight thinkers who will keep
this nation forging ahead to even
more spectacular achievement.
It remains a great responsibili
ty to teach and instruct the youth
of the land. I say more power to
every teacher who wants to make
better citizens of his students. Let
us provide students the informa
tion they need for developing in
to informed, responsible citizens,
If we pass on the heritage to
them, they will keep it and pro
ject it into the difficult future that
lies ahead.

During the business session, pre-
Draft Board
Won't Overlook
The accelerated interest in the
protection of the American way
of life and the defense of cauntry
has stimulated interest in Selec
tive Service.
The scope of the program of Se
lective Service in this country is
tremendous and affects many fam
ilies. It would appear that the
rules and regulations which apply
would be common knowledge.
Quite the contrary however has
been the case as most mothers, fa
thers, and eligible sons seem to
share the idea that if they stay
away from the draft board they
somehow will be overlooked as
quotas are filled.
There is no secret about how the
Newberry County Local Board op
erates. Mrs. Ruby Trice, Clerk,
and all concerned with Selective
Service make a special plea for
those concerned to come into the
office to keep the local board ad
vised of any change in address,
marital or dependency status,
schooling, reserve affiliation, oc
cupation, et cetera. At the same
time inquiries concerning individ
ual cases can probably be answer
ed.
Colonel Donald H. Collins,
State Director of Selective Ser
vice, urges all young men and
their families to work closely
with their local boards so that
Selective Service can render the
very best service and be fair and
impartial to everyone.
