IN DEFENSE OF
AMERICANISM
Fast moving events on the do
mestic and foreign scenes have
tended somewhat to overshadow
the conflict being waged in Am
erica against Communism and the
consequent reaction from several
sources that intends to destroy or
limit any efforts to oppose the
Red international conspiracy for
•world conquest. In other words,
the effort to destroy anti-Com-
munist movements, although not
so much in the news, is continuing
unabated as a prime strand in the
•Communist line. The battle con
tinues to rage.
Whether some future confer
ence of international Communist
Parties in years to come will have
to renew the call sent out by the
81-party conference in 1960 when
it attempted to sign and seal the
death warrant of all anti-Com-
munism, depends on what we do
About it. For some years the line
spelled out in the Red press, has
considered anti-Communism “the
enemy of mankind” and “a crime
Against the people.” The World
Marxist Review has pointed out
that America is the main obsta
cle to world Communist victory
And since anti-Communism is our
chief weapon against them, the
battle must proceed.
The Battle Reported
Dr. James Bales, in “American
ism Under Fire” (published pri
vately by Bales Bookstore, Searcy,
Ark., $2), has quoted a Commun
ist writing in World Marxist Re
view not quite three years agor
“There is no doubt that the anti-
Communist offensive in all its
many-sided ramifications has been
one of the main causes, if not the
main one, of the difficulties of the
Communist movement, particular
ly in North America, as it has
been a major obstacle to the de
velopment of the mass work of
ofcr parties. It indicates the nec-
etsity of a more intensive, system
atic and sharper struggle against
anti-Communism in all its mani
festations.”
Using may of their own words,
Dr. Bales has revealed the plans
and intentions of both the social
ists and the communists in the
U. S., who after all are not so
far apart in their basic assumpt
ions and ultimate objectives. To
other non-communist groups which
have eagerly joined this drive a-
gainst opposition to Communists,
however, he assigns no motives.
He is content only to relate what
they have done or have placed in
record in books and articles, leav
ing any explanation of moftives to
the groups themselves or others.
An Able Defense
Just why the order from Mos
cow to attack was so dutifully un
dertaken by other Communists
and their sympathizers, however,
does need continued study and ob
servation. This was a time, ap
parently, when both known and
undercover members of the ap
paratus thought they could get
away with it. They were very
nearly correct. Because of the in
effectiveness of legal restraints
plus^some special assists from the
Supreme Court, they have gotten
away with entirely too much that
is harmful and destructive to the
American idea. Their net has in
deed been spread wide.
Americanism Under Fire deals
effectively (but with calmness,
fairness and dignity) with those
smears innuendoes and misrep
resentations which have been di
rected toward the National Edu
cation Program and others in sev
eral recent books. Dr. Bales, who
is professor of Christian Doc-
' trine at Harding College, under
takes to defend only those institu
tions with which he is familiar
and about which he is thoroughly
informed. Nevertheless, the book
amounts to a considerably broad
expose of the illogical and unreas
onableness of the general attacks
on American heritage on most
fronts today.
Justice and Freedom
The book's title, Dr.,J3ales ex
plains in his preface “calls atten
tion to the fact that institutions
and values which have made Am
erica great are being challenged
as never before.” This American
ism he defines historically and
i having certain basic ingredients:
I faith in God; the belief that m?m
! is a moral being responsible to
himself, others, and God; faith in
a Constitutional government that
is designed to preserve God-given
freedoms, one of which is econom
ic freedom that includes the pri
vate enterprise system. To de
part from any of these, he insists
rightly, is to turn from the Ain-
erican heritage for other ideology.

THE
MANION
FORUM
The eyes of the world have foc
used intently upon Fidel Castro a
number of times in the last six
years.
First, his spectacular rise to
power. Then his takeover. The
Bay of Pigs. Thie missile crisis.
After each incident, however,
world opinion turned away to
think of other things. The Ameri
can public shrugged its shoulders;
if Cuba was there it would hav^
have t obe tolerated. That was
to be tolerated. That was that.
Early this month, Castro devis
ed a way to bring himself back
in to the limelight. He made an
announcement. From now on, he
said, Cubans will be free to leave
their country at will—with np
strings attached. Castro’s new
policy startled everyone to atten
tion—as he meant it to.
Eagerly, the questions began:
Wat the beared bandit tearing
down his section of the Iron Cur
tain ? Was Communism on its way
out ’in Cuba? Was freedom tp
leave replacing virtual imprison
ment?
Castro has not replied to any
of these questions, but his smiles
suggest a “yes” answer. And, as
he hAd hoped, the public in this
country is having a second look
at the Cuban dictator — “perhaps
he is not as bad as we’d thought.”
To anaylze Castro’s new move,
the Manion Forum summoned an
*■ (•-'if' * >
expert to its microphones on Oct
ober m He* is Luis Manrara, a
Cuban exile * and president of the
Truth About Cuba Committee.
Declared Manrara:
“I think that ... we can clarify
some of the doubts of the people
about why this offer is made.
Some people believe that it’s be
cause Castro wants to infiltrate
more agents in the United States.
We knW he has already a great
number' of agents, both Cuban na
tives dnd American citizens.
“Other people believe that per-
r people
haps he is frying to get rid of
those whom he considers danger
ous. I believe that all or most of
those people are in jail, have been
assassinated,’ or have already left
Cuba. So my contention is that
j he’s actually vying for something
much more important ... as a
! matter of fact, he will only get
| rid of deadwood, old, and sick peo
ple.
Castro could do without a lot of
“deadwood,” for Cuba’s food sup
ply is nearly nonexistent. Also,
every Cuban who departs most
first sign over to tfie government
all of his property—a boon to
Castro’s bankrupt economy. Man
rara points out in addition that
young men—and women—of fight
ing age are being forbidden to
leave, thus ensuring a continuing .
supply of material for' Castro’s
army.
Manrara analyzed an October 3
speech by Castro in which the die- ^
tator asserted that Cuba has a
right to establish its own destiny
as a separate country. “To me, w
notes Manrara, “this is all in prep
aration for a demonstration that
Cuba is an independent sort of
t Communism that has completely
written off Russia’s influence and
participation and, thereby, Castro
is preparing the ground for some
sort of recognition and some sort
of financial help by the United
States Government.”
U. S. Aid to Communist Cuba?
A schocking prediction. But it
may be just what Castro has in
mind.

The Federal Extension Serv
ice estimates that there are 23
million former 4-H Club mem
bers in the United States to
day. So it is safe to say that in
each of the nearly 3,100 coun
ties and districts within the 50
states reside thousands of men
and women who were 4-H’ers.
It is these people whom the
national 4-H alumni program
seeks to honor locally and na
tionally through its recognition
awards. The program is con
ducted by the Extension Serv
ice and supported by the Olin
Mathieson Chemical Corpora
tion. Participants sought are
persons who have demonstrated
leadership, service to youth,
adherence to 4-H principles and
success in their occupation or
profession.
Businessmen, homemakers,
farmers, teachers, public offi
cials and others have received
alumni awards during the 13
years they have been offered.
The main task, according to the
National 4-H Service Commit
tee which cooperates in the
program, is to make a concen
trated effort tu keep in touch
with former 4-H members.
Names of persons can be sent
to the National 4-H Service
Committee.
If every county from coast to
coast named four persons to
receive the county alumni rec
ognition pin, more than 12,000
could be honored in a single
year. And 200 could be cited for
the state plaque award.
Then there are eight national
key award recipients to be
selected from
among the st^te
winners. These
eight are guests
of Olin during
the National 4-H
Club Congress
at Chicago. An
elaborate alum
ni banquet and
other recogni
tion events spot-
* u ai • d- light the na *
4-H Alumni Pm tional winners.
“With so much good being
done by so many who have
shared a common philosophy
of service to others and who
attained success in life,” ob
served Mr. Kenneth Anderson,
associate director of the Na
tional 4-H Service Committee,
“it’s important that these re
sponsible Americans be hon
ored."
He urges resident to check
childhood affiliations of promi
nent neighbors to ascertain if
they have a 4-H background.
“If so, make him or her your
1966 candidate,” he added.
“Ways to locate 4-H alumni are
at large meetings, local affairs,
clubs, church and by just ask
ing arodnd.” x
