PAGE 12—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, June6, 1968 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) These are wrongs to be cor rected. And under the repress ions of a dictatorship, violence can be justified as a reason— and as the only way—to obtain action. But in our society this is not true. We have provided for the correction of ills with out resorting to violence, frus trating as the slower and less painful processes may be. The activists who engander violence may be sincere. But there is reason to believe they are more interestind in being destructive than constructive, more respon sive to personal publicity than to dedicated service, more de voted to political revolution to economic solution, and more attuned to creating chaos than to resolving wrongs. In the weeks ahead it is like ly the American people will be gin to get a clearer view of the behind-the-scenes activities of a limited number of individ uals who have been responsible for compounding the confusion of sit-ins, pray-ins, study-ins, lie-ins, tent-ins, move-ins, mar ches and counter-marches that are intended to lead to incid ents that can be blown up in a cause celebre to riot. This is the new form of “petition” to government or any other con stituted authority. And out front in the spotlight, frequ ently innocently fronting for the culprits who know what they’re doing, are a lot of youngsters having a jolly good time. Will the instigators of this confusing array of trappings get away with it? We doubt it. One of the anomalies of our time is that government and the press be so deeply consc ious of the Communist strategy in Southeast Asia, and so frank ly expressive of it, yet appear so innocently oblivious and un willing to recognize the same strategic maneuvers in our own back yard. Perhaps our domestic strat egy is to avoid muddying the political waters that are involv ed until after the election. Let us hope that we do not wait too long before the facts are brought into the open and the “new freedom” given an air ing that will be clearly under standable.
