The most important news col
umn at this time is the second
• chapter of St. Luke. We are in
the closing: week of 1961 because
Christ was born that same num
ber of years ago. If the world
had missed the notice of this all-
important news event nobody to
day would know what time it is.
For more than 1900 years, the
.atory of Christ was the only con
structive news capable of penetra
ting all corners of the world. It
hurdled every language barrier
and was heard with sympathetic ’
reverence by all kinds of people
from simple shepherds to mighty
kings.
Christianity proved to be the
only kind of democracy capable of
coping with everybody every
where on earth. It added the Beat
itudes to the Ten Command
ments to make the sum of self-
government which could soothe
the savage at the same time it
enriched the arts and spurred
the sciences of world civilization.
Not until the advent of Commun
ism was any other mass move
ment capable of overrunning the
entire world.
Like Christianity, Communism
is unconfined by race or regional
boundaries. W'herever Christ's Gos
pel could sow love, Communism en
tered to harvest hate. Both of
these movements are supernatural
forces. One is from Heaven, the
other from Hell, and the war of
one upon the other is eternal.
The Communist forces of acti
vated theism have now established

their iron control over a billion
people. At this Christmas time,
one out of every three persons on
earth is a slave to the new anti-
Godism.
Under our very nose, Christian
Cuba was overrun by Communism,
and the big noose that the ram
paging Reds have thrown over the
world has slowly tightened around
our American peripheries until
the pressure upon us here at the
center now is literally terrible.
You will remember that the
peace hera ded by the angels when
Christ was born was promised to
men of “good will.” It is what you
will, what you resolve to do in
other words, about the goodness
of God and the evil of Communist
theism that begins to determine
the end of this all-out struggle
with Hell. Unless and until this
God-centered resolution of millions
multiplies itself throughout our
country, the tide of Communism
will continue to rise until it en
gulfs the world.
In our Constitutional system
the powers of all of our civil auth
orities are strictly limited on the
presupposition that this basic
principle of American self-govern
ment in action would make the
invasion of our private lives by
civil authorities as unnecessary as
it is undesirable. Implicit in the
Contitutional system is the con
clusion that only God-fearing,
morally responsible people could
afford the great luxury of our rich
American inheritance, namely, a
checked, balanced and divided
system of civil government, strict
ly limited against the possibility
of tyranny.
In the Communist Marxisan dia
lectic, this is what the Reds call
an “anti-thesis”—the exact oppo
site of the Communist profession
which denies God and the exist
ence of moral laws. The whole
Communist ethic is thus built up
on the basic postulate of atheism.
The weakness then is in the pro
position that if we can hold back
Communism until it is civilized
and tolerable, by assuming that if

and medicine and distribute it
widely throughout the hungry, un
derdeveloped countries of the
world, Communism will become
civilized and acceptable.
The fact is that among the more
than 20 non-Russian, formerly in
dependent, European nations now
under the Communist rule, are
some of the most highly civilized
and best developed people on
earth. Is it then more important to
free Angola, which has been part
of our anti-Communist ally, Por
tugal, for years, than it is to free
such formerly Christian nations as
Latvia, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia.
Poland and Hungary, from Com
munist grasp ? ?
Before Castro, Cuba had the
highest standard of living in all of
Latin America, and this fact did
not save the Cubans from the
Communist takeover.
A one-word definition of Amer
icanism is responsibility. We must
not deny our obligation in charity
for needy people everywhere. That
is part of our responsibility which
is the equivalent of Americanism.
But at the top of the list of re
sponsibilities we bear Is our re
sponsibility to the millions of our
fellow men for whom there can
be no public devotion to God at
this Christmas time. The truth
that made men free is now de
throned for them.
What time is it in Moscow Pe-
ping, in Warsaw, and in Budapest?
How will men measure the hours
of their slavery when the years of
our Lord have been outlawed ? ? ?

WA SHINGTON AND
SMALL BUSINESS
By C. WILSON HARDER
C. W. Harder
Based on many different
types of testimony at different
times before the Senate Small
Business Committee, it has
long appeared that the United
Stages Defense Department is
quite calloused in its attitude
toward small business.
* * *
But just re
cently it has
come to ligh«
that the De
fense Depart
ment, wheth
er by design
or stupidity,
has become a
party to
schemes
which are de-
frauding in
dependent contractors.
* * *
When four Nike sites were
constructed in the Cincinnati
area, a Pennsylvania general
contractor was awarded the
general contract.
ass
A sub-contract to build the
sliding doors was given to a
Covington, Kentucky firm. How
ever, when they learned the
condition of the general con
tractor, the sub-contractor re
quested payment in advance
for the custom made doors,
s s s
Not only was this refused,
but the sub-contractor was al
so threatened with suit if it
did not complete the contract.
s s s
After the Nike sites were
completed, this sub-contractor,
and sixteen other sub-contrac
tors, have never been paid.
s s s
When the sub-contractor had
requested advance payment,
they were told that under the
so-called Miller act, they were
fully protected.
* * s
However, when they pro?re3-
id to seek to collect from th“
bonding' comnam’ *Th‘ch h?.*!
(cl National of Tn l Btrelw*
bonded the general contractor,
the bunding company informed
them that under this very same
Miller act provisions, they
would have to sue for the
amount due. The act provides
all means of collection must be
exhausted before bonding com
pany is liable.
0 0 0
In usual private contracts
where the government is not in
volved, the bonding agency of
the general contractor auto
matically pays off any default.
0 0 0
To make certain the situation
in this case perhaps even
worse, when the sub-contractor
took the case into the Ohio
Federal court having jurisdic
tion, the Federal judge refused
to try the case because his son
represents bonding company,
o o o
Efforts to find another Fed
eral Court to hear the case
have so far failed.
ooo
Congressman Brent Spence
requested the Army Dept, to
do something about the situa
tion. The Congressman re
ceived a letter from the Office
of the Secretary of the Army
informing him their records
show the Nike sites have been
completed, accepted, and the
general contractor paid in full,
ooo
However, the communication
takes the position if the gener
al contractor does not pay the
sub-contractor, the Army is not
concerned.
ooo
Inasmuch as the Miller act
does not provide any protection
—even the protection afforded
on a civilian contract, to sub
contractors, Congress will do
something about the situation
next year. But until the law
is changed, it appears that any
sub-contractor on a govern
ment project should make ad
vance payment a written comli-
‘ 5 cn rf any bids submitted.
