THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE -To Plead for a Return of Constitutional Government-
Vol. 10 FORT WORTH, TEXAS, OCTOBER, 1959 No. 10
Only One Major Section of the
U.S. Constitution Is Still Intact
New York Is Waking Up
From the editorial page of the Augusta, Geor9ia, Chro·nicle,
Wednesday, September 23, 1959.
(The South's oldest newspaper-Established 1785)
A remarkable article was pub~
lished on the editorial page of the
New York Mirror a few days ago.
We term it noteworthy because it
was a discussion of the editorial
stand of a small monthly newspaper
in Texas-The Southern Conservative-
and concurred in the
position taken by the Deep South
editor.
A year <?T ~wo ago such a carn-ey
in a ew York paper
would have been virtual heresy.
Yet, today, it is not uncommon for
newspapers in the metropolitan
cities of America to turn more and
more toward the Southern view~
point. They apparently are learning
that the South's message of state's
rights, its warnings against socialistic
inclinations, its censure of the
Supreme Court, its admonition on
the subject of centralized government
and oppressive taxation are
all founded on the inescapable truth
that turmoil, ill-will and crime follow
rapidly in the wake of a!ly de~
viation from constitutional government.
The New York Mirror article
seems to pay tribute to Mrs. Ida M.
Darden, the editor of The Southern
Conservative, describing how she
pitches her policies on the Tenth
Amendment of the Constitution,
the one that reserves to the states
or to the people those rights not
delegated to the federal government
nor prohibited by the Constitution.
The article-written by Dr. Ruth
Alexander and entitled "Message
for Americans"-praises Mrs. Darden
for having the courage to "belabor
the truth that if we were not
taxed so heavily to wet nurse the
world," the states would have suf~
ficient revenue to remain independent-"
provided the loooy 'Liberals'
did not demand hot swimming
pools as part of 'education.' "
It quotes the Texas paper as saying
"larceny by taxation is as much
a criminal act as extortion by threat
and when a citizen is robbed of his
money, it doesn't make much difference
whether the thief is an un-derworld
hug or gov rnmen
The Mirror writer then cites the
Marxian doctrine calling for a
graduated progressive income tax
as prescribed in the Communist
Manifesto as a method for socializing
countries.
Mrs. Darden is quoted as saying
the rulings of the current Supreme
Court "are a greater threat to our
national security than are enemy
missiles," and the article-without
quotes which would attribute the
analogy to the Texas paper--describes
the justices as "nine old
coots in their black robes of doom"
and calls them "lifers, who uproot
our safety, our liberty, like a bulldozer."
We think the article is indeed
remarkable, published, as it was, in
a New York paper.
But even more startling was the
concluding paragraph. Referring to
the various premises advanced by
the Texas editor, it said:
"If you are among the millions
who think it, you might be tickled
red-white-and-blue to read The
Southern Conservative."
Yes, indeed, Gentle Reader, the
South will rise again!
Congress is not in session now and most of the members are back
in their districts for the twofold purpose of offering alibis for their
official behavior and trying to get themselves re-elected. This is a good
time to pin them down on their voting record and to demand an explanation
for their concern in the welfare of every country on earth except
their own as attested by their persistent support of foreign aid legislation.
Of course it will be hard to find members of the Senate because most
of them are running for President but it should be fairly easy to button~
hole your Congressman and ask him who he thinks he is.
While the Socialists who have dominated the Executive,
Legislative and Judicial arms of the Federal government
since 1933 have done a bang-up job of ripping the American
Constitution to shreds, they have been careful to
preserve the one section which grants them the license
and provides them the finances to continue their deadly
assault against established institutions of the Republic
and the freedoms of its people. For more than a quarter
century they have replaced one provision after another
of that great document with evil and loathsome
stipulations in Marx's Manifesto until today the Sixteenth
Amendment stands almost alene in its infamy
among the grim and forbidding ruins of the greatest
instrument for the guidance of man ever fashioned by
human mind. By practical application of its insidious

sumed to be only a minor and insignificant part.
The Sixteenth, or Income, tax amendment was insinuated into the
Constitution by old·world enemies of freedom who have been active
against the American form of government since the Republic was born.
When this amendment was adopted not long after the turn of the
century, it was written in the stars that this provision would survive
even when the Constitution itself was gasping in the final death struggle.
To understand this, it must be remembered that the wise men who
wrote the Constitution in the beginning knew that a direct, or income,
tax in a growing and expanding country would be a dangerous precedent
and that the levying of such a tax would eventually place in the hands
of unscrupulous politicians vast financial resources never intended to
be vested in those who govern in a free Republic.
Accordingly, they wrote into the Constitution, in words they thought
could never be misunderstood or disregarded, the provision that no per
capita or direct tax should ever be laid against the citizens of the United
States.
It must also be remembered that the primary aim in the minds of
those who framed the Constitution was to limit the power of the Federal
government and to guarantee the freedom of the citizen.
They knew that the levying of a direct, or income, tax would cir~
cumvent their intentions and provide the Federal government with unlimited
power while restricting the freedom of the individual. Determined
that this should not happen, they included the clause which they
(mistakenly) believed would prevent Washington politicians from stretching
out their long arms and reaching down into the pocket of the citizen
and helping themselves to his money.
This directive so carefully laid down by the dedicated men who
wrote the Constitution was faithfully followed for more than a hundred
years although, in the interim, bird-brain politicians in the United States
were working up a lather over the proposals of Karl Marx for graduated
income and inheritance tax levies as a sure-fire method of bankrupting
"capitalistic" countries.
This was in direct opposition to the provision which the founding
fathers had so wisely included in our Charter of government and it took
a long time and a lot of doing for enemies of this country to bore into
this priceless document and instill their deadly poison.

VIRILE ORGANIZATION HOPES TO DEFEAT
POISONOUS PROPAGANDA OF A.D.A.
For a long time there has been a
political organization called the A.

Now there is one known as A.
C. A. which promises to give the
former a run for its money.
A.D.A stands for Americans for
Democratic Action. It is led by a

pseudo-intellectuals, egg-head
educationists and other assorted
Socialists whose political views are
of varying magenta shades ranging
all the way from pale pink to bloodred.

not heretofore taken sufficient interest
in their nation's welfare to
visit the voting booth on election

In stirring addresses throughout
the nation, the Admiral is awakening
formerly apathetic Americans
to the fact that freedom has all
b11t Y.- ;~ hed for once-free citizens
of the Republic and that the United
States faces a crisis of such major
proportions as to involve our very
survival.

J . Wayne Poucher, director of
the e··cellent radio program Life

it was: "You are as sound as a

Among its directors are Hon.

counsel for Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company; Dr. Walter B.
Martin, Past President of the American
Medical Association; R. B.
Snowden, prominent ArkansasTennessee
plan""er and business
man and others well known in industrial
and professional circles.
All over the country, worried
Americans are 1·emarking on the
fact that while the President
openly insulted Senator Joe McCarthy
because of his exposure of
Communists in government and
rudely refused to invite him to
White House functions, he put out
the welcome mat for murderer
Khrushchev and entertained him
like a visiting monarch.
As evidence of the measure of
courage which a majority of
members of both H ~uses of Congress
display in the face of an emergency,
we call attention to their
behavior concerning the visit of
Khrushchev to this country. They
adjourned and ran like rats deserting
a sinking ship in order to
get away before he arrived. They
didn "t want to invite him to address
that body but didn't have
the nerve to stay in session and
deliberately ignore him.
If, as an American citizen, you
are concerned in juvenile delinq ..
uency, consider this: In the course
of one year the combined television
networks present 2,1061000
cases of murder in the productions
which are projected into American
living rooms. And a Federal
government which is strong on the
regulation of all types of business
enterprises, does nothing about
this perversion of youthful minds.
Adult delinquency must be wiped
out first; juvenile delinquency will
be reduced accordingly.
Only One Maior Section-T,~~;p~~~,
But, although the propaganda mills of the Invisible Rulers grind
slowly, they never stop and by 1913 the first long step toward World
Socialism was taken in the United States with the adoption of the Sixteenth
amendment to the Constitution.
And so far-seeing, crafty and diabolic were the minds of the Inter·
nationalists who sponsored it that they wrote into this amendment the
death warrant of the Constitution itself. They pronounced the death
sentence on that document in these words:
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes
from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the
several States and without regard to any census or enumeration."
Into an instrument whose primary purpose was to limit the power
of government, there was forced this amendment which granted to that
same government power that was absolute and unrestrained.
By the adoption of this amendment, it was decreed that Congress
might forever after take one hundred per cent of a citizen's income at
any time it suited the purpos~ of members of that body to do so.
This was the ultimate in the bestowal of authority and transcends
any grant of power ever made to weak mortals since the beginning of
human history.
And it is why the Constitution is in its death throes now. Even as
water cannot mix with oil, so is it impossible for two diametrically OP·
posed and· adverse policies of government ~to·operate ·· simultaneous1y in
the gOverning instrumcp:_ of a sovereign nation.
Today, practically every section of the Constitution guaranteeing
freedom of the citizen and the rights of the States has been invalidated
either by legislative act, judicial decision or executive decree (with the
exception of the Fifth amendment which, on occasion, is invoked by
those who seek to save their worthless hides when their acts of treason
against their country are exposed.)
But the Sixteenth amendment lives on and flourishes like the green
bay tree. It provides the medium by which reckless, improvident and
irresponsible wastrels in Congress may dissipate the substance of the
American people to replenish the treasuries of enemy aliens.
It feeds the ego of small-bore politicians in Washington who want
to play God to the rest of the world and who are, incidentally, fulfilling
the predictions of Lenin, Engels and Marx to the effect that time would
prove us fools, dupes and suckers who would eventually spend ourselves
out of existence.
And finally the amendment has spawned a measure of corruption
in the administration of government paralleled only by the official debauchery
associated with the rulers of ancient Rome.
Previous attempts to get the Sixteenth amendment repealed have
failed, but determined efforts are again underway and the legislatures of
two States, Wyoming and Texas, have memorialized Congress to submit
such an amendment to the States for ratification. Action by 34
States is required to compel Congress to take this step.
The usual procedure in such matters, is for Congress to submit an
amendment direct to the States, but current members of that body would
never do that even though qualified students of fiscal policies have shown
that revenue from other sources would be sufficient to run the govern ...
ment provided we quit trying to support the whole world. Repealing this
amendment would be as offensive to Congress as taking the dice away
from crapshooters or closing the tracks to those who play the horses.
During 1960 fifteen State legislatures will be in session. Those
legislatures are: Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisi ...
ana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.

h~ve sque~zed the last penny o_ut of American citizens just as a hog

garbage has been consumed.
With this satanic implement of tyranny, injustice and corruption
out of the way Constitutional Government could be restored.
October, 1959 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Pogo l
AMERICANS WARNED THAT WORLD
FEDERALISTS ARE ACTIVE AGAIN
There are so many organizations
throughout the United States which
are subtly working for the peace~
able overthrow of the American
form of government and the inclusion
of this Republic into a OneWorld
Socialist State, that it would
be impossible to list them all.
One of the most sinister, however,
is the United World Federalists
which is becoming active again
after having been driven underground
some years ago after exposure
following an official hearing
in the Legislature of the State
of California.
Certain international forces have
been promoting the idea quietly
long before World War I but the
actual working unit known as
United World Federalists was set
up in February of 1947 when several
hundred Socialists, Communist
fronters, One-Worlders and other
assorted "Liberals" got together in
Asheville, North Carolina, and laid
down their program after having
elected one Cord Meyer, Jr., as
president. Later, branches were set
up in 600 communities throughout
the country in colleges, universities
and even in high schools.
To off-set the unfavorable public
reaction which would inevitably
follow the association of so many
known Communist fronters with
ov , tll& ol trick was
emp oyed of inducing many innocent
men prominent in the business
and industrial world, and those appearing
in the Social Register to
allow the use of their names in the
project.
Claiming 18,000 members, the
outfit went into a whirlwind campaign
in 1949 and 1950 and got the
Many Angles Should Be
Probed In TV Investigation
The investigation of crooked quiz
programs on television by the Congressional
Committee headed by
Representative Oren Harris of Arkansas,
has not made many revelations
that are surprising to those
of us who recognize the type of
persons who control our communications
systems.
The committee might do well to
also look into the matter of the
propaganda which is fed to the
American people through this same
medium. For instance, one of the
nation's most popular orchestra
leaders told us, in response to our
protest of a mangled version of one
of Stephen Foster's songs, that he
had absolutely -nothing to do with
the matter. The change was made,
he said, by the program director of
the network who substituted the
word "people" for "darkies'' in the
song. The committee might find
out by what authority a network's
program director changes the lyrics
in a song of a composer who has
been dead since I864. Is it in the
interest of "integration" propaganda?
As to the quiz programs, the
witness we want the committee to
interrogate is a Negro girl of unde-legislatures
of twenty-five States
to memorialize Congress to submit
an amendment embodying the policies
set forth in a resolution passed
at Asheville which, alt.hough deviously
worded, would cancel the
American Constitution, transfer our
Army and Navy to a World Government,
surrender our atom bomb
(which only the U.S. possessed at
that time), to this One-World organization,
replace our Flag with
the U.N. flag and our National Anthem
with a One-World anthem.
In March 1950, after a hearing
before the Legislature of the State
of California at Sacramento where
the real purposes of the World Federalists
to destroy the sovereignty
of the United States and make it a
dominion in a One-World State
were exposed, 23 of the State. Legislatures
quickly rescinded their
action.
Following the exposure of its objectives,
World Federalists more or
less went into eclipse for several
years, but it is understood to be
active again with new names and
a new line of approach but having
the same overall obiective of destroying
the sovereignty of the
United States.

associated with the movement at
its launching and who have long
Communist front records, bave

reason that we not only do not

that many responsible Americans
are again going to be taken

to dismantle the American Reoublic

Slave State. ------

A DANGEROUS MIXTURE IS BREWING IN
"THE MELTING POT OF THE WORLD"
Flying over the city of New York recently and looking down on the
hundreds of thousands of small homes which shelter those of every
known color, creed, culture and background, the thought came to us
that someday this "melting pot of the world" is going to boil over and
blow up with an explosion that may shake the earth.
Do-goO'ders are obsessed with the idea that racial mixin·g is the
solution of all the world's problems and that the bringing together of
conglomerate masses of the earth's population makes for peace on earth
and good will to men.
Nothing could be farther from the truth, and nothing is more dangerous
to the nation's well being than tearing down the immigration bars
and opening the gates to the undesirables of other lands. The dwelling
together of those of similar origins is conducive to harmonious living
and "to each his own" is still the basic philosophy underlying unity .between
members of the human race.
As a corollary to our thoughts, when we returned home we picked
up the inte:national edition of Marcia Matthews' Freedom Digest and
read. a rep:mt of Paul Stevens' dissertation on New York as originally
published m the Charleston, South Carolina, News and Courier and in
:-vhich the following excerpts are typical:

APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES IS AS
FAR AS UNITED NATIONS IS ABLE TO GO
If the simple appointment of a
committee could put down aggression,
prevent war and insure peace,
the world would be sitting pretty.
When complaints were made to
the United Nations that Communists
were committing aggression
against Laos, the utter futility and
usel~ssness of that outfit was de~onstrated
again when it refused to
take action except to appoint a
committee.
The Committee went out to Laos,
looked around and_ wrote a report.
On its return to the United States,
the committee refused to make a
report of what they found, claiming
the report would be laid before
the United Nations Security Council
the last of October.
This only proves that Communists
could take over a country and
forget about it by the time the U.
N. acted, if ever.
No greater fraud was ever perpetrated
on a nation than that visited
on the United States when the
Senate in 1945 approved the United
Nations Charter and thereby committed
this country to the reponsibility
of furnishing the major por·
tion of the money for the upkeep
of an organization which is completely
futile and which to date has
not earned its salt.
Foreign-made automobiles are
said to be coming into the United
States in such numbers as to cause
much concern to domestic car manufacturers.
That is because of our
"world trade" phobia and because
our so-called statesmen are vitally
interested in seeing other nations
prosper but don't give a whoop in
Hades about what happens to our
own country.
Andrew Tully, Washington
newspaper correspondent, refers
to those citizens in Little Rock
who object to integration as a rough
necks". If there are any worse
rough necks, lowbrows and bums
than those who advocate the
promiscuous mixing of the white
and black races, it would be difficult
to name them.
In a communication to some of
his constituents, Senator Lyndon
Johnson of Texas said of the labor
bill which was finally passed by
Congress: "New and strong tools
were placed in the hands of the
government to deal with the hoodlums
who have been exploiting the
public and honorable labor." That's
fine but what about the political
hoodlums in both Houses of Congress
who have been exploiting
the taxpayers and robbing them of
their money to give away to foreigners
and to launch boondoggling
projects in various districts
for the purpose of getting themselves
reelected?

THE TENTH AMENDMENT TO
THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES:
Minister Asks That Real Men
Stand Up And Be Counted
In a recent speech in New Ofleans,
the Rev. James P. Dees, Rector
of Trinity Episcopal Church at
Statesville, North Carolina, said in
part:
"If you are a man, then stand
Jike a man for what you believe in.
lf you believe in preserving your
children from amalgamation, do not
stand on the sidelines and let someone
else do your fighting for you.
Help some organization dedicated
to our cause. Become identified
with it. You cannot do much by
yourself. The integrationists in this
State and the nation are organized
with organization upon organization.
I would be ashamed of myself
if I thought I were not doing all
that I could to preserve my children
from the horrors that children
are experiencing in integrated
schools. If you are a responsible
person, then you should shoulder
your responsibilities and not leave
them for someone else to shoulder.
You should take a stand and make
your stand felt. Are not your children,
and is not our Southland
worth it? Of course they are, and
if you don't think so, then you are
not worthy of them. Give your
time, your money, your energy.
Stand up and be counted!"

may do, will not change the Communists' objective of seeking to conquer
the world, the Admiral stated in his prepared address.

many of them, he declares, and the
rest of them can be obtained from

He pointed out that in twenty-five years, the representatives of the
United States have held 3,400 meetings with various Communist leaders
and groups including those at Teheran, Yalta, Potsdam. Panmunion and
Geneva. The wordage from these negotiations would fill seven hundred

which he said in part: "We must
realize that our party's most powerful
weapon is racial tension. By
propounding into the conscious·
ness of the dark races that for centuries
they have been oppressed by
the whites, we can mold them to
a program of the Communist Party.
In America we will aim for subtle
victory. While inflaming the Negro
minority against the Whites, we
will endeavor to instill in the
Whites a guilt complex for their
exploitation of the Negroes. We
will aid the Negroes to rise in
prominence in every walk of life,
in the professional and in the world
of sports and entertainment. With
this prestige, the Negroes will be
able to inter-marry with the Whites
and begin a process which will de·
liver America to our cause."
October, 1959 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Page 5
TOUR OF BLOODY TYRANT TO COST
TAXPAYERS HALF MILLION DOLLARS
Millions upon millions of words
have been written about the unfortunate
and regrettable visit of
the Kremlin butcher, Khrushchev,
to the United States and the American
people no doubt are fed up
with the whole thing and would
like to forget it.
But the event too drastically
affects the interests of the American
people, and possibly the destiny
of the Republic, to be brushed
aside and forgotten like yesterday's
newspaper.
In the first place, there is the
cost of entertaining the unwelcome
guest and his vast entourage which
authorities estimate at more than
$500,000 and which must come out
of the pockets of the over-burdened
taxpayers of the United States.
The American people did not invite
Khrushchev to come here and
they didn't want him. He was invited
by politicians in Washington
f!fter consnltation with each other
and who were not commissioned
by the citizens of this country to
invite a Communist murderer to
come here and be entertained on a
scale usually enjoyed by visiting
royalty.
But even though the taxpayers
were not consulted, these unwilling
hosts to an unwelcome visitor
must pay a small fortune in the
cost of the visit which the Khrush-t~
~;~~~Je~P J1~:~~:;~~~i
costs and miscellaneous expenses
incident to what even the· State
Department admits is the most
costly official tour in American
history.
But the American people are so
used to being robbed in the interest
of projects to which they have not
given sanction that this, too, may
be allowed to pass as just another
one of those things which the public
is too stupid to appreciate or
understand.
But even though this imposition
on the taxpayers for the cost of
their enforced hospitality to an unwanted
intruder may be glossed
over, no thoughtful American can
escape serious consideration of the
potentialities of what was, in our
opinion, the most dangerous phase
of the whole affair.
This was the private conference
between the Communist Dictator
and the President of the United
States during the last days of the
visit and from which other Americans
were excluded.
Nowhere in the Constitution of
the United States is any such official
procedure, which affects the
destiny of every citizen, provided
for and, remembering Roosevelt at
Yalta and Truman at Potsdam, all
Americans may well be apprehensive
until they are informed, if ever,
A Georgia-born Negro who calls
himself "Muhammed" is going all
over the country threatening and
advocating the extermination of
the white race, acc01·ding to a recent
article in Time magazine. If
this is accomplished wouldn't that
constitute "genocide" - a term
very freely used by liberals in the
United Nations? Or does "genocide"
like "Civil Rights" apply
only to minority groups?
what promises or commitments
were made at that conference.
As to the results of the visit of
Khrushchev, the people have been
given many viewpoints from many
sources, official and otherwise.
~ers_onally, we prefer to accept the
fmdmgs of a recognized authority
on Communist propaganda whose
knowledge of the subject is second
to that of no other American.
We refer to the Honorable Francis
. E. Walter of Pennsylvania,
Cha1rman of the Committee on DoAmerican
Activities of the House
of Representatives, who elicited
testimony from qaulified persons
which designated the tour of
Khrushchev over the United States
as "a terrific victory for Communism."
As a witness before the committee
headed by Chairman Walter,
Mr. Eugene Lyons, long-time press
correspondent in Soviet Russia,
gave testimony which reaffirmed
the widely-held view that Khrushchev
is one of the bloodiest tyrants
in history whose promises and
commitments mean less than nothing.
As Stalin's trusted kilfer in the
Ukraine in 1937, Khrushchev carried
on a two-year purge in which
an estimated 400,000 people were
ruthlessly murdered, Mr. Lyons
testified. Khrushchev's post-war
purge in that area was even more
~~dodJi'u~~~~rr~?'th~~~!~dt:e :::::
liQuidated by exile or death, he
added.
Concerning the contention that
Khrushchev's visit to the United
States might slow him down in his
plans for world conquest, the former
correspondent in Moscow classified
this as "a childish fairy tale."
Khrushchev didn't come here to acquire
knowledge of our strength,
but to feel out our weaknesses, he
declared, and deplored the fact that
our leaders treat World Communism,
represented by Khrushchev, as
just a misunderstanding that can
be cleared up if we get the right
people to the right places to say the
right words. 411t assumes that the
cancer of Communism can be treated
with the mustard-plaster of good
will," he concluded.
At any rate, the old villain finally
made the visit here on an invitation
for which he has been maneuvering
for years and the red carpet
was all laid out for him. The people,
as a whole, treated him with silence
but national, state and local officials
and motion picture moguls
and stars flocked to the banquets
given in his honor like buzzards
toward a festering carcass.
In other words, he came and he
saw, but only time will tell if he
conquered.
When those connected with municipal
governments, or any one
else, make suggestions about erasing
county lines and erecting
ujoint" facilities in the interest of
efficiency, the people should be
warned. This is the first tiny step
toward centralization of government
and, whether it is erasure of
State boundaries or those between
city and county, is all the same.
It is tlmetro" government which is
a facet of one-world government.
INFORMED AMERICANS ARE CAPABLE OF
SELECTING THEIR OWN "GREAT BOOKS"
All over the country, the "Great
Books" program is making its appearance
usually in the public libraries
of the city in which such
program is held.
Like almost everything that
comes along, it has brought many
Americans flocking to its meetings
who haven't the faintest idea of
what it is all about or who launched
the program or what its objective
may be.
Instead of going thoroughly into
it and investigating it, they accept
it at face value and follow along
like sheep. It is this ovine quality
of mentality which causes most
Americans to wind up in some
group or organization of ulterior
motive and whose purposes have
nothing whatever to do with the
promotion of Americanism. Such
Americans are not vicious or subversive;
they are just careless, if
not actually stupid.
There is one rule which can be
safely followed in such matters
and that is for Americans to keep
forever in mind that almost any
movement which has sprung up in
recent years which does not bear
the brand of its patriotic intent on
the face of it, will bear watching.
There are very few which are ac~
tually educational and cultural;
there's a joker in most of them and
tl'!is joker means eventual oneworld
governMent.
'As to the Great Books Foundation,
it is sponsored by Robert
Hutchins of the Ford Foundation
and that fact alone should provide
sufficient warning to any informed
person that the program is to be
avoided like the smallpox.
Another well-known character
connected with it was Milton S.
Mayer who resigned as a professor
at the University of Chicago to become
a member of the Academic
Staff of the Foundation. In case
They Learn Fast to Separate
Taxpayer From His Money
A recent survey of occupationS
of members of Congress by a Texas
newspaper man in Washington
shows that 288, or more than half
of the 534 lawmakers in that body,
are lawyers.
Maybe that's what is wrong with
Congress.
There is an old saying that a lawyer
knows only one way to get
money and that is to take it away
from those who earn it.
The way that bunch has been
taking it away from the taxpayers
in recent years certainly seems to
indicate that there are some experts
on the job who are past grand
masters in the art of relieving the
citizen of his cash.
Lawyers, however, have no monopoly
on the good old Congress·
ional custom of picking the pockets
of the taxpayer and the other half
of our national lawmaking body,
composed of those belonging to
various crafts and professions,
seem to catch on fast and to do
equally well at separating their
constituents from their bank-roll.
the incident has been forgotten,
Mayer is the one who startled loyal
Americans at a time when they
could still be startled when he said
or March 6, 1947 (according to the
Syracuse New York Post Stand~
arJ of that date), in a public
speech in that city: "We must
haul down the A m e r i c a n
Flag and, if I wanted to be
vulgar and shocking, I would
go even further and say 'haul it
down, stomp on it and spit on it.' ••
On March 2, 1949 this same Milton
Mayer was quoted as saying in a
public speech at Richmond, Indi~
ana: "A radical revolution, nonviolent
and only incidentally economic
and political, is necessary.
There must be a reorganization of
society from the top to the bottom
... Capitalism is not worthy
of your faith." (See Analysis of
testimony given before the Sedi~
tious Activities Investigation Commission
with regard to the investigation
of the University of Chicago
and Roosevelt College, 1949, before
the Legislature of the State of
Illinois by virtue of House Joint
Resolution No. 21.)
One of the notorious offerings
designated as one of the "Great
Books" is the Communist Manifesto,
the Bible of Atheists and
Communists throughout the world
and which, by no standard of civilized
reckoning could be called
"great."
Another sponsor of the Great
Books program is Dr. Mortimer J.
Adler, formerly of the University
of Chicago, whose claim to d i s~
tinction lies in his published proclamation:
"We must do everything
we can to abolish the United
States."
Such renegades of human society
as Hutchins, Mayer and Adler
should not be permitted to decide
for us which are and which are not
"great books' and those who per~
mit them to do so must be suffering
acutely from intellectual poverty.
The influence of Socialism. is felt
even in the dispensing of charity
and "sharing the wealth" is almost
mandatory upon the part of
the citizen. Time was when money
was given to the poor in kindness,
but in privacy. Today organized
charity is big business and when
a drive for funds is begun, there
is great fanfare , paTades and the
blaring of brass bands. Recipients
of charity are no longer ashamed
to receive alms which probably
stems from the fact that policies
of government have been so shaped
as to give respectability to the
practice of taking from u each according
to his means and giving
to each according to his needs."
True charitable giving is a Christian
virtue. Contributions acquired
by high pressure methods are
something else.
Many Americans are wondering
if Tito is the next dictatoT to be
invited to the United States. He is
reported in the press as wanting
to come oveT here after seeing
how royally Khrushchev was
entertained. One thing is for sure,
Franco will not be invited. He
hates Communists and will have
no truck with them.

TRAGIC SOCIAL PROBLEM IS CAUSING
STATE Of CALIFORNIA TO EAT CROW
State and Federal Aid to needy
children which has built up a new
racket in the form of the wholesale
breeding of illegitimate children
for the purpose of collecting bon~
uses has created such a scandal in
California that authorities there are
demanding a widespread investigation.
The protests, spearheaded by the
San Francisco Examiner, have been
taken up by other newspapers in
that State who charge editorially
that the intent of the Aid to Needy
Children program is being grossly
violated and that the law must be
changed to remove those provisions
which seem to encourage illegitimacy.
Before Congress adjourned, Senator
Herman E. Talmadge of
Georgia warned in the Senate that
the matter was getting out of hand
and called for a Senate investigation
to determine whether Federal
payments under the program may
be contributing to the deluge of illegitimate
children which is inundating
the country.
"While I would not presume to
advocate any one solution to the
problem, I think it is generally
agreed that the policies of the Fed·
eral government with respect to
welfare assistance to dependent
cQildren constitute a major factor
in the worsening situation with
which the country is faced in this
regard," the Georgia senator said.
Of course the situation is horrible
and heartbreaking, but so is
any condition resulting from the
adoption by any country of pure
and unadulterated Socialism.
A return to Constitutional government
and the abandonment of
all Socialistic policies initiated by
Roosevelt-and added to by Tru·
man and Eisenhower- would not
cure the tragedy of illegitimacy but
It would prevent shiftless and irresponsible
women from using Federal
funds to further a disgraceful
racket in human flesh which is far
more deplorable and immoral than
shake-downs by underworld gang·
sters whose illegal gains involve
only money. After ail, the States
were able to take care of their unfortunates
and to handle their social
problems before Roosevelt,
Truman and Eisenhower were born
and to do it without extravagance,
scandal and disgrace.
As to California, we find ourselves
a little slow in working up
tears over their situation. The great
majority of those who are causing
alarm over the matter are Negroes
who have swarmed there in droves
and we are not forgetting that those
same California newspapers have
screamed to high heaven in the past
about the South's "treatment" of
the colored race.
t From a long-time subscriber in
Baltimore: "The September edition
of the Southern Conservative
was another masterpiece and I do
thank you for the effort it takes
and the good Lord for endowing
you so richly."
From a man in Broadus, Montana:
ul'd do without butter on my
hot cakes before I'd do without the
Southern Conservative."
NATIONALISM ADVOCATED
BY FORMER ONE-WORLDER
Lord Bertrand Russell, notorious
British Socialist and one-worlder,
recently entered into a trans-Atlantic
debate with Dr. Milton Eisenhower,
brother of the President, according
to press reports.
The subject dealt with internationalism
in which Russell took the
position that World Government
was the alternative to extinction
of the Human Race by nuclear war.
Dr. Eisenhower, on the other
hand, came out for nationalism
which he designated "as the greatest
force in the world today." Love
of country, he is reported to have
said, is like love of family.
We were extremely glad to read
of this viewpoint expressed by· Dr.
Eisenhower for it is always pleasant
to hear of a convert to nationalism
which, indeed, is like love of
family and certainly all true Americans
hold that view.
Dr. Eisenhower, however, is a
comparatively recent convert to
this belief if we are to believe some
of his earlier assertions on the sub~
ject.
On Saturday, April 2, 1955, Human
Events, on page 2, said:
"Milton Eisenhower has been reported
as believing in world government
and of exerting his tre~
mendous inflUence on the President
to promote such a system. Attention,
therefore, is being given
to a pamphlet by James L. Henderson
entitled 'UNESCO in Focus'
with a foreword by Milton Eisenhower.
"Dr. Eisenhower says in his fore·
word: 'I have personally been enormously
stimulated by the picture
he (Henderson) paints in swift, colorful
strokes of an international ef·
fort with which I have been intimately
involved and to which I am
profoundly committed. I sincerely
hope many will read and think
about this pamphlet.
"In this pamphlet Henderson
writes: 'Specifically, educators and
teachers, for example, have a great
role to play in helping to build up
the outlooks and attitudes which
would favor the establishment of
World Government. By cooperating
with UNESCO they will, through
coordination of effort, increase
their strength and effectiveness! "
The publishing house of the
Communist Polish Ministry puts
out General Eisenhower's book
"Crusade in Europe" in an official
Polish edition.
Nobody has less to say about the
conduct of the American govern~
ment than the American people.
Long ago they lost control when
they allowed their public servants
to become their masters, take
possession of the purse and start
throwing money around over the
world like a farmer sowing barley.
The national debt of this country
is only $290,000,000,000.00 so
the great brains in Washington
have decreed that we must continue
giving money to aliens in
the name of foreign aid for a _long
time-perhaps forever.
IS THE WISDOM AND FORESIGHT Of
McCARTHY TO BE VINDICATED AGAIN?
FORMER TEXAS GOVERNOR
PASSES FROM THE SCEHE
Honorable James V. Allred, who
died recently, was formerly Attorney
General of Texas, later Gov~
ernor of the State and, at the time
of his death, a Federal District
Judge.
His passing caused us genuine
grief as we have lost a valued
friend.
Ordinarily, our circle of personal
friends and associates is limited
largely to those who are conservative
in their beliefs and who stand
for the policies of government to
which we are so firmly committed.
This was not true, however, in the
case of Governor Allred.
He was a New Dealer from the
first and his views on issues of
government were abhorrent to us
just as ours were offensive to him,
but, somehow, our personal friendship
throughout the years remained
intact and was never affected by
our totally differing opinions on
questions of the day.
Many times we engaged in bitter
arguments on some political question
which almost reached the fistshaking
stage on both his part and
ours, but after it was over we
laughed it off and our mutual resp~
ct never suffered.
Once, while Governor of Texas,
he gave out an interview to a Houston
oewspaper in which he charged
us, along with others, of having
helped to defeat a Constitutional
amendment which he very much
desired to have passed. As a mat·
ter of fact, we had not written a
line or said a word against the
amendment and had taken no interest
in it whatever.
When he found out that he was
wrong the Governor apologized
profusely to us but added with a
twinkle: "I wouldn't put it past
you. You would probably have
worked against it if you hadn't
been busy on something else.''
Jimmy Allred was just about as
far from our ideal of a statesman
as if was possible to be, but as a
human being and a loyal friend, he
was tops and we join with his
thousands of other friends in
mourning his untimely passing.
From an attorney in San Fran·
cisco: uA member of my firm
takes the Southern Conservative
and I get much glee out of reading
it. I think your writing is the
most brilliant in contemporary
times but I'll bet you are a mean
gal. I'd hate to tangle with you."
On the contrary1 we are very mild,
timid and reserved and the only
time we get furious and go into
a rage is when some politician in
Washington commits an act of
treason against this country -
which is practically all the time.
According to press reports from
South America in a recent political
campaign in Sao Paulo, Brazil,
a rhinoceros won the election by
a write-in vote. We've never done
that in the United States but we've
elected jackasses to office time and
again.
One of the most alarming aspects
of the Khrushchev visit was
reported in the New York Daily
News, October 5th, quoting statements
from a former Russian, now
a resident of this country concerning
remarks made to the latter by
the Russian dictator.
This man, Victor M. Carter, pres~
ident and chairman of Republic
Studios in Hollywood, told news~
men that in a conversation with
Khrushchev the dictator told him
that Central Intelligence Agency
operatives were "feeding U. S.
codes and even money to the Communist
spy ring."
He said that the Red premier's
boast came during a two-hour
sightseeing tour of the movie capital
during which he, Carter, was
one of the guides.
Exact quotes of Khrushchev, as
related by Carter, were: "Your Alien
Dulles Agency (the CIA) sent
agents to the Middle East with code
books and money. Using your code
books we send false information
to you and we also send requests
for money. You spend $100 million
on this agency and we get plenty
of it."
Carter quoted Khrushchev as
further saying: "You're wasting
your money. You might as well
send it direct to us instead of the
middlemen because we get most of
it anyway.''
KhrushChev was also reported as
boasting that he was in possession
of a confidential message from
President Eisenhower to Prime
Minister Nehru of India and of a
message which the Shah of Iran
sent the President.
The CIA is the agency which the
late Senator Joseph R. McCarthy
tried so hard, and so unsuccessful·
ly, to have investigated years ago
pointing out that this agency re~
fuses to give out any information
whatever about its activities or the
amount of the funds it receives and
how they are disbursed.
Instead of an investigation of
CIA, McCarthy was "censured" by
the majority of the great "states-men"
who compose the United
States Senate.
Texas Waging Another fight
To Keep Its Own Property
There is no thief as persistent as
the Federal Government when it
sets out to rob the States of their
authority or their property.
This is being demonstrated all
over in the case of the Tidelands
which Washington tried to steal
several years ago by judicial decision.
It took an act of Congress before
Texas could recover its own prop4
erty Which it owned when it came
into the Union.
Now the Justice Department is
trying to grab seven and a half
miles of the Tidelands boundary in
the Gulf of Mexico.
The Governor of Texas, Hon.
Price Daniel, has been compelled
to leave his duties and again go to
Washington to try to wrest back
what belongs to us.
They never give up.
October, 1959
Days Of Constitutional
Government Are Recalled
In the "Letters from the People"
column of the Fort Worth Star~
Telegram recently there appeared
a communication from a citizen of
a small town which must have in~
spired a nostalgic longing for the
political morality which once pre~
vailed among those who govern us.
The letter was from J. Carl Stapleton
of Euless, Texas, and was as
follows:
Can you reni.ember? When there
was no income tax, when all kinds
of taxes were relatively low, when
we had only a token national debt
of around a billion dollars, when
the total federal budget was only
about $725 million?
When we had no "foreign aid,"
nor allowed ourselves to get into
any foreign entanglements; when
we didn't meddle in the affairs of
other countries; when our State
Department only went to other
countries in connection with trade
or commerce; when we dealt bon·
estly with other nations and didn't
unde~take to hold the big stick
over them; when we were a firstrate
nation instead of a third or
fourth·rate nation as we are now;
when we were respected as a good
and great nation and not despised
as we are now by most other nations?
When America was known to
other nations as a Christian nation;
when we were indeed a happy
pe&pie- without the worry of debt;
when we were a people that respected
the rights of others; when
we were an America that could
have deep and sincere compassion
on the miseries of other peoples
without trying to meddle in their
affairs; when we maintained a good
and great army for our defense and
not to dare others with?
When we were Americans who
would love our neighbors, when
we would get up on a bad night
to help a neighbor who was sick
or was in trouble; when we were
a people that loved God and honored
His house on the Lord's Day;
when we were a people of deep
and sincere conviction; when there
would be genuine repentance of
personal sins and mourning?
When the Supreme Court of our
nation respected the rights of each
state and did not assume to itself
the powers of aV'Jendment or legislation;
when Congress and Congress
only had the powers to make
laws; when the House and Senate
stood between the people and the
federal government; when Congress
made laws that would benefit
the people and not laws that were
concerned with spending them into
bankruptcy?
When communism was unheard
of, when there were but few labor
troubles; when the Senate didn't
"investigate anyone"; when one
could take a $10 bill and buy a
wagon-load of food; when a jug of
molasses could be had for 20 cents?
In short, when we were a good
land, a happy land, and were the
greatest people on God's earth?
Can you remember? I can.
The tragedy of all this is that the

THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
APPEAL TO THE HONOR OF THE
SENATE FALLS ON DEAF EARS
. If it is possible for members of the United States Senate to put the
mterests of this country first and to perform in accordance with their
obligation to .the American people, it would se~m that a telegram each
of them rece1ved on September 7 would have persuaded them to this
course. It was a message from Mr. Robert Welch, prominent business
man and outstanding patriot of Belmont, Massachusetts, pleading with
them to measure up to their responsibility as statesmen and to rescind
the invitation to Khrushchev to visit this country. As all the world now
knows, the Senate did nothing in the matter; instead, they rushed through
the last days of the session and then ran like scared jackrabbits in order
to get out of town before the monster arrived. The telegram from Mr.
Welch follows:
"Has the Senate of the United
States simply surrendered its authority
and duties? If so, why go
through the silly motion of holding
sessions?
"The a p p r o a c h i n g visit of
Khrushchev is not in the same category
as the usual State visit, prop·
erly arranged by our State Department.
It is a more decisive and far~
reaching alignment of our country
in its foreign relations than any
ordinary treaty could possibly be.
In an article in the magazine For·
eign Affairs, Khrushchev has arrogantly
announced on the eve of his
arrival the terms on which he will
consent to let us survive temporarily
as a nation-provided we
understand and tacitly consent that
we are eventually to be absorbed
into the communist empire. His
visit as an honored guest of our
nation under these circumstances
is itself the greatest victoiy" ·he
could possibly achieve towards
making this overbearing bluff become
tragic reality. Yet the invitation
and plans for this visit were
made not only without the advice
and consent of the Senate, but
without any notice even being
given you.
"Oui State Department itself
says that the Soviet Union and
communist China and communist
North Vietnam are together di·
recting and supporting the communist
·invading f o r c e s in Laos
right now. There is no question but
that this move has been deliber·
ately timed to c o i n c i d e with
Khrushchev's visit to Americ,a in
order to show the world what he
can get away with and still have
our Government accept it and him.
This armed interference by the So·
viet in the internal affairs of an
independent nation is made at the
exact moment when Khrushchev is
proclaiming that the Soviet Union
strictly adheres 'to an obligation
on the part of all states to desist
from violating each other's terri~
torial integrity and sovereignty in
any form and under any pretext
whatsoever.' This is calculated insolence
again for the purpose of
showing the world what our Gov·
ernment will swallow while still
kowtowing to the supposed Soviet
power.
will have no such recollections as
this man treasures. Their memories
will be of Federal regimentation of
the people, confiscatory tax levies
which seek to re·distribute the
wealth and of an overall policy of
government based on the tenets of
International Communism. T h e y
will be unable to recall the glorious
rights and freedoms of the indvid-
"The armed aggression in Laos,
however, is also perfect justification
for the President to withdraw
his invitation and ask the Soviet
Premier to postpone his visit. A
firm resolution by the United States
Senate requesting this action could
not be ignored. The only possible
argument in favor of the visit has
been that it could do no harm and
might do some good. This view
already was completely contrary to
all past experience in dealing with
the Soviets. But these latest develooments
have made emohatically
clear that the visit not only will do
immense harm to the whole resistance
which still exists against
the imperialistic communist advance,
but has been carefully
planned for exactly that purpose..
Only the Senate can save Ameri·
can honor, prestige, and potential
firmness in the face of this impending
subservience to an archmurderer
who ha~ openly boasted
h.at he will bury us. This visit is
itself an important part of the
strategy by which he intends to
destroy our independence. He and
his accomolices in this country ex·
pect the United States Senate to
let the issue go by default. If you
do, it is your Country, gentlemen,
and the Country your children will
have to live in which you are sur·
rendering step by step to the Soviet
tyranny.
" 'Once to every man and nation
comes the moment to decide.'
"For Members of the United
States Senate, this is it. This is the
point at which by one determined
act you can begin to turn back the
advance of Soviet rule which has
inflicted such incredible cruelty
and horror on mankind. You can
do somethin~ of which you personallv
will be justly proud all the
rest of your days, and the Mem·
bers of this Senate can earn an
honored place in history for hun·
dreds of years to come, by one
courageous act. That act will cause
a worldwide shout of applause. It
will be greeted with tears of happiness
as a basis for new hope by
hundreds of millions of our suffering
fellow human beings who are
now in utter despair. I beg of you,
as do those hundreds of millions
and certainly the vast majority of
your American fellow citizens, to
rise to the occasion and seize this
opportunity for greatness.''
ual which were once inherent in
American citizenship because such
rights and freedoms will have been
destroyed before they came upon
the scene.
The writer of the above letter is
fortunate in that he, at least, has
memories of the days of Constitu·

Only Cowards Will Take
Advantage of Children
The proposal emanating from
some quarters that integration of
the races in schools should start
in the primary grades is the most
cow~rdly and under·handed sug-gestiOn
yet made in connection
with the matter since Moscow first
started the agitation for racial mixing
in the United States.
The argument is advanced that
small children will not object to
having colored children in the same
class with them. Of course they
won't-no more than a baby would
object if a rattlesnake were put in
its crib. It would merely start playing
with the reptile without any
consciousness of danger.
It is because of this very helplessness
of little children that the
proposal for mixing them with Negroes
is so immoral and indefensible.
The Reds insist that if children
are integrated with Negroes while
very young they will grow up without
any "prejudice."
The same argument holds about
anything else. Take children when
they are very young and expose
them to every type of crime and
they will grow up without any
"prejudice" against murder, rape
or robbery.
Teenag_ers who have the indignity
of integration imposed upon
them will try to do something about
it or at least sl10w resentment of
the situation, but smalJ children are
totally unable to defend themselves.
Only craven cowards would seek
to take advantage of them by forcing
them to mix and mingle with
Negroes.
The designation of the two political
parties in England as 1'Conservative"
and "Labor" is as amusing
as the claim that we have two
political parties in this country
with widely differing beliefs. Both
political parties in England, as
here, are Socialist. The so-called
Conservative party there has been
in power for years but they still
have Socialized Medicine, the nationalization
of some of their industry,
and practically all of the
other Socialist policies put into
effect by the Labor party.
Sometimes when wrinkling our
brow in pe1·plexity (as if it were
not a1ready wrinkled) and trying
to figure out a way to properly
finance the Southern Conservative,
we toy with the idea of
imitating the two major Socialist
Parties and holding a hundred·dollar-
a-plate dinner and serving a
dollar-and-four-bit meal. However
since, unlike the Modern Republicans
and Fair Deal Democrats, we
have no plums to promise to qive
away, we fear that such an affair
would turn out like Stella Dallas'
party in the old silent films-no·
body would come.
•From a physician in Cleveland,
Ohio: "You are one hundred percent
right about Kennedy. There
are hundreds of Catholics who do
not like his Socialism any more
than you do. There cannot be a
true Socialist and good Catholic."

What's In A Name?
Plenty, If You Ask Us
Why did somebody have to think
up the name of the International
Development Associatiori, of all
things, and christen it IDA for
short?
Under the heading of "Here's
That Gal Again" the New York
Daily News recently said editorial·
ly:
"Britain, West Germany, France
and Japan, with U.S. help, have recovered
economically and then
some from World War II.
"Accordingly, the Eisenhower
Administration is beginning to urge
these nations to join us in helping
less fortunate countries. A start
would be made through a new
United Nations agency to be called
the International Development Association.
Financed by all nations
that wanted to join up, IDA would
extend so-called soft (meaning
punk) loans to backward countries
to help them industrialize.
"We don't like IDA's looks, as
we've said before and we've long
questioned the whole principle of
foreign aid, nasty nationalists that
we are.
"'But if Eisenhower & Co. feel
they must fall for IDA's alleged
charms, how about the United
States at least withholding contributions
until after IDA's kitty has
received big and solid donations of
British, West German, French and
Japanese money? Why shouldn't
Uncle Sam. for a change, let others
start this foreign aid parade?"
It's a little late, but we are seriously
thinking of having our name
changed to Susie Pearl.
Our Editorial Charge
Confirmed As A Fact
The cat is now out of the bag.
For years, we have contended
that, following the administrations
of three Presidents who officially
approved Socialist policies of gov·
ernment, we have a national Wei·
fare State.
During the recent visit of Russia's
top executioner, Khrushchev,
one of the administration's fair
haired boys, Henry Cabot Lodge,
confirmed this charge.
Speaking at a banquet given to
the visiting assassin by the Economic
Club in New York, Lodge
told Khrushchev that the United
States was, indeed, a Welfare State.
Whether the statement was de4
liberate and planned or whether,
under the exuberance and convivi·
ality of the occasion, the term just
slipped out, we wouldn't know.
But, anyway, the truth is out and
since it was uttered by a man in
high favor at the White House it
carries more weight, of course, than
when we have proclaimed it over
and over in the pages of the Southern
Conservative.
It is a fact whether Lodge or
anyone else confirmed it or not,
but, anyway, we're glad to have
the confession and now we can go
on from there.
The American people should rise
in their wrath and determine to put
an end to Welfare Statism and restore
Constitutional Government in
this great Republic.
LAST STRONGHOLD OF PERSONAL PRIVACY
NOW TO BE INVADED BY FEDERAL AGENTS
While American citizens have lost most of their rights and privileges
to the Federal government within recent years, they have at least been
permitted to go to the bathroom without supervision by Washington
snoopers.
But now it appears that the door to this last bastion of human
priyacy is to be battered down and its sacred precincts invaded by an
official brigade of Federal Peepi~g Toms.
According to advance press reports, those who take the 1960 census
for Uncle Sam are to be authorized to figuratively follow us right into
this hitherto inviolate sanctuary and make the events which transpire
therein a part of the official statistical records of the government of the
United States.
Whether this action was planned in the interest of world peace,
universal brotherhood or the promotion of better trade relations is not
disclosed, but census enumerators who were formerly sent out to merely
count the noses of the citizenry are now to be instructed to include the
whole human anatomy in their appraisal and to find out whether we
poor peasants simply take a shower bath or whether we dunk our whole
carcass when we perform our daily ablutions.
Personally, we have tried to go along without gagging as all this
"togetherness" business was rammed down our throat, but, by the eternal
gods, we are going to abandon this policy at the bathroom door. And
if that be treason, then let the Bureau of the Census make the most of it.
A trip to the bathroom is one journey we propose to make alone
and unattended and any census taker who undertakes to pry into the
intimate details of this strictly personal function is going to be the
recipient of some sizzling remarks which will singe his shaggy ears.
As lowly serfs of a centralized government, we have meekly sur4
rendered states rights, private property rights and the right to associate
with persons of our own choosing but the right of a human being to lock
his bathroom door against intrusion is an inalienable one which super4
sedes the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, the Bill
of Rights and the Charter of the United Nations.
In the meantime, we shall make inquiries as to whether this matter
properly comes under the classification of a domestic issue or whether
it should be designated as an international problem lying within the
jurisdiction of the World Court in which latter case we will, if necessary,
appeal to that high tribunal to uphold us in our God-given right to take
a bath without benefit of government observers.
Heads of government who steal
the rights of the states and the
freedom of the people are committing
a far greater crime than
if they pilfered money from the
public t1·easury. Money can be replaced
but lost liberty is seldom
restored except at the point of a
sword. Theft of money is a felony
at most; robbing the states and
the people of their sovereign rights
is treason.
What is to be said of the brainpower
back of a government which
spends seven million dollars of the
taxpayers' money buying up eggs
to keep down over-production and
then turns around and lends one
million and one hundred thousand
of those same taxpayers' funds to
farmers who want to engage in
the poultry business? How long
would a privately-run enterprise
stay in business if such idiotic and
dishonest methods were employed
by its management?
LOOK WHO'S TALKING
AGAINST FOREIGN AID
Informed and thinking Ameri·
cans must have read with amazement
the address of Secretary of
the Treasury, Robert B. Anderson,
to the finance ministers of 68 countries
who serve as directors in the
World Bank, delivered in Washing·
ton recently.
He vigorously Jenounced "dogooders"
throughout the world
who expect this country to continue
to furnish them with money
to bolster their economy to the
detriment of our own. Americans,
he told the ministers, are getting
"good and tired of it."
He also insisted that they abolish
postwar tariff restrictions on American
goods "which we have tolerated
for fifteen years" and warned
that the United States "might retaliate
by cutting foreign aid and
erecting tariff barriers of its own."
Anyone hearing or reading the
words of the Secretary would get
the impression, if they didn't know
better, that he was reflecti~?-g the
sentiments of an administration
committed to sound policies in for~
eign relations and which is con·
cerned in the welfare of this coun~
try first.
The trouble with the speech was
that it came about seven years too
late at the tail-end of the adminis4
tration whose actions have not
squared with the present words of
Secretary Anderson. Cynical Americans
are bound to consider it as
merely a bid for votes in 1960.
Perhaps spok~smen for the ad ..
ministration wi.\\ also forget th..,
bayonet-sticking episodes at Little
Rock and will come out strongly
in favor of States' Rights before
the end of the President's term.
Consistency is one commodity of
which there is no surplus in Washington.
We wonder how many Americans
who, when they turn on their
televisions for a so-called entertainment
program but which in
many cases is nothing but propaganda,
realize that this trash is
being fed to them by persons who
have abandoned their own names
and are operating under an alias.
Is it true as we have been told
that the Chief of the United Nations
Military Staff Committee has
always been a Russian since the
U. N. was set up in 1945 and that
there was an agreement at the
time t h a t no non-Communist
should ever hold this post? If that
is true, it would seem to us that
it is long past time for Congress
to look into the matter since it is
largely United States money which
supports this outfit.
STARTLING BUT TRUE-Has
it ever occurred to you that in our
social system the politician is enabled
to reach a position of responsibility
without having any
training? He serves no apprenticeship.
He masters no course of
study. He need pass no examination
as to his ability. He receives
neither a diploma nor a license
to practice. The veterinary who
doctors our dogs and cats is required
to show more careful preparation
for his calling than is the
politician who seeks to direct not
only our industrial but much of
our personal life.-Exchange.
