“The American people must
make some basic determinations as
to policy guidelines for their
country, and they need to make
these deterirnnations very soon.
They must decide whether the free
•enterprise system is worth saving
against the onslaught of socialist
encroachment brought on by those
who believe that the people must
have their lives planned for them.
Also, they must decide whether we
want to win the cold war which
the forces of world Communism
have forced upon us or whether we
believe that we can trust the
Communists and can therefore
work out an accommodation with
them.
“There are some who contend
the American people don’t need
to bother with such questions and
the basic planning for our country
in the fields of both domestic and
foreign policy should be made by
a group of elite policy-makers,
many of whoip have never been el
ected by the people. Those who
propound this view, however, over
look the fact that the American
people hold the basic power in this
country and that persons elected
to public office are merely their
humble servants placed there to
carry out the will of the people.
“Thus, to take the position that
the American people should not
have sufficient information made
available to them to make their
-own judgments, and to voice their
views on both domestic and for
eign issues, is to dilute the power
•of the people, doubt their capabil
ity to make sound judgments and
prevent them from exercising their
power intelligently in electing
their representatives to make the
A ffc % VK
laws and execute them.
“There are too many in our
country today seeking ‘something
for nothing,’ and who are willing
to barter their freedom and yours
for a ‘mess of pottage.’ In addi
tion ,there are many who seek to
wield the unlimited powers of a
centralized government and are
willing ta pass out your tax dol
lars to buy that power.
“In the field of foreign affairs,
the predominant view among our
policymakers is that a ‘deal’ can
be made with our enemy, the
forces of world Communism. Too
many view the Communists as
having only one, or at least a
major, fault—they’re just too ag
gressive, and they’re getting bet
ter all the time, because they’re
evolving into good socialists. This,
in effect, is what we are told in
the recent investigation into for
eign policy vit the issue of muz
zling our military leaders in their
anti-Communist statements and
seminars. In other words, we can
reach an accommodation with the
Communists and they can be
trusted to disarm with us and live
in peace. If you don’t believe this
then you’d better start exercising
your rights as an American citi
zen and make your views as con
tagious as possible. This same ad
vice is offered to those who still
have faith in our free enterprise
system.
“Americans must make a choice
between socialism and freedom
and between accommodation and
victory. The choice is yours; the
hour is late.”
One of America’s greatest
statesmen, Senator Strom Thurm
ond, made the above statement.

IN SOUTH CAROLINA
BEER IS A NATURAL
From nature's light grain comes sparkling, light beer...
South Carolina's traditional beverage of moderation — it’s
light, sparkling, delicious.
And naturally, the Brewing Industry in South Carolina is
proud of the nearly $6,800,000 in direct beer taxes paid the
state, and the $1,200,000 additional taxes which go to coun
ties and cities. This money helps support colleges and
hospitals and pay teachers' salaries. In South Carolina, beer
belongs — enjoy it.

This honest and courageous pat
riot has just been to our town to
speak to an open meeting. The
following people were invited to
introduce him: a former governor,
the president of a bank, the presi
dent of the chamber of commerce,
a publisher of a newspaper, the
head of a big department store.
All had excuses for not introduc
ing America’s greatest senator.
One or two may have had valid
reasons, but most shied away
from Senator Strom Thurmond be
cause he is “controversial” and
that hurts business. All of these
men call themselves conservatives.
Let it be said in their favor that
they would not have introduced
Norman Thomas either. But some
of these opportunists would have
grabbed the chance to introduce
Bobby Kennedy. He has the pow
er to make or break them.
Recently a former friend patted
me on the back and said: “You’re
doing a good job, boy. I’m with you
all the way—but don’t use my
name.” Many business and pro
fessional men and women say
they can’t afford to get into “pol
itics” and can’t afford to be con
troversial. It hurts business and
social standing. These mistaken
ostriches are still thinking about
politics in the sense of Democrats
versus Republicans, one personal
ity versus another personality.
The politics I’m talking about is
the politics of survival as a free
people under God. Those people
who know the score and who re
fuse to get into the fight are
either utterly selfish (thinking
they can ride whatever tide will
win, or that they’ll just “live it
up” their few remaining years on
earth and let the living worry a-
bout it); or they’re people who’re
completely amoral, if not immoral;
or they’re deep yellow.
Our profit and loss system and
our individual freedoms are being
sabotaged by our own leaders of
both political parties. What dif
ference does it make what your
profit and loss statement is this
month of this year ? What dif
ference does it make whether you
are fired from your job for being
“political”? What difference does
it make if you’re shunned socially
for being “controversial”?
The last place to go in this
country to get help in saving
capitalism, the free-enterprise sys
tem, the profit and loss system
and freedom itself is among the
rich, particularly the didn’t-make-

it-themselves crowd. In “society,”
it is “un-social” to take a stand.
So, the “social” don’t take a stand
—except a social stand against
those who’re not social.
Appealing to our socialists to
save free-enterprise is like ap
pealing to the Jesuits to save Un-
itarianism. But most of our con-
gresmen and senators are not
socialists. They’re neither dedicat
ed leftists nor dedicated rightists.
They‘re merely dedicated to stay
ing there. And that depends on
YOU. I still have great faith in
the American people. The good
people are in the majority. If they
will accept the responsibility and
then act, we will not become en
slaved.
Many Americans are unconcern
ed about what is happening be
cause they think somebody is
“taking care of things.” Some
body IS—the collectivists. If we
are to remain free people we
must change “let George do it”,
to “it all depends on me.”
America’s sickness is erosion—
not of the soil, but of morality. If
r r Republic is saved from One-
,/orld slavery, it won’t be saved
by fat-cats, or by the Democrat
or Republican parties. It’ll be sav
ed only the same way it was
founded: by a grass-roots rebell
ion; saved not at Washington, but
at home; not from the top down,
but from the bottom up. It’ll be
saved by you. For if you won’t,
who will? We are moving, with
“vigah” to dictatorship. We still
have a choice. You choose as you
will.. As for me, I may die in dic
tatorship, but I won’t live in one.
