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.
