1. Without the destruction of the
Russian heartland.
2. Without the destruction of the United States.
3. Without the destruction of the Communist leadership.
4. As soon as possible.
Little
argument should be needed to convince the skeptics of these four limiting
factors in the Communist program of conquest. They are enormously proud of
their materialistic achievements on Russian soil and are unlikely to look
with equanimity upon their destruction. They are aware of the American
landscape with its fine homes, magnificent factories, schools, hospitals,
and public buildings and would certainly prefer to take these intact so that
they can be used and enjoyed rather than to fall heir to a heap of radio
active rubble. Khrushchev has stated that he hopes to live to see the day
that the red flag covers all the earth. He would prefer not to die by either
artificial or natural causes before world conquest is consummated.
Thermo-Nuclear War
Accepting that these are the Communist objectives, there is one
eventuality that must be avoided at all cost as it would sound the death
knell to the possibility of achieving the desired results. This eventuality
that must be avoided is thermo-nuclear war. Such a war would devastate both
Russia and the United States, almost certainly kill the Communist leaders,
and cast the utmost doubt upon the goal of conquest ever being achieved. We
may, therefore, accept it as a basic premise that the Communists will go to
every possible length to avoid thermo-nuclear war, not from cowardice, but
from devotion to their objective.
Method of Communist Conquest
Before stating the Communist program for the conquest of the United
States, it is advisable to dispel rather widely held delusions concerning
the Communist method of reaching their objective. The Communist purpose is
not the conversion of the American people to Communism. They do not foresee
the day when the majority of the American people will on polling day elect a
majority of Communist candidates to office. They are fully aware that,
should Communism prevail in the United States, it will be contrary to the
wishes of the overwhelming majority of the American citizens. They are
confident that American citizens will be as helpless to cast off the
Communist shackles as the citizens of East Germany have thus far proved
themselves to be. There will not even be the need for an iron curtain or a
Berlin wall as there will remain no place of refuge to which to flee.
The Internal Communist Danger
Because of the prevalence of the delusion that Communism aims to
convince a large number, if not a majority of Americans a false optimism is
generated because of the smallness of the Communist Party. University
professors and other ridicule the concept that the forces of internal
Communism constitute any great peril because the ranks of the Communist
Party are not bulging with members. They claim that Communism has lost its
mass appeal to the students, workers, and other classes of America. While
this is true, the conclusion drawn that the internal Communist threat is
therefore insignificant, is completely false. If the Communist program for
the conquest of the United States depended upon the voluntary acceptance of
Communism by a large number of American citizens, this conclusion would be
valid. Since this is not the method of Communist conquest, arguments based
on the smallness of the membership of the Communist Party are irrelevant.
Frequently I am asked,
"Which do you consider the bigger danger, the internal or the external
Communist threat?" Sometimes I reply with this question, "If you
were in a ship at sea and it was torpedoed and sinking, which would you
consider the bigger danger, the water inside or the water outside?" The
Communist conspiracy within America is simply the bridgehead of the
international Communist conspiracy. Any attempt to consider it in isolation
is asinine. If Hitler still ruled Germany and controlled much of Europe and
had a vast military, economic, and propaganda apparatus dedicated to the
conquest of the world, the malignancy of the American Nazi Party would be
multiplied a thousand times. Hitler is dead and Naziism has lost its
military, economic, and propaganda base, but the international Communist
movement controls a billion people and has a truly formidable military,
economic, propaganda, and subversive apparatus. In the light of this it is
foolish to underestimate the significance of its representatives within the
United States.
Real Communist Program Co-Existence
Having now stated that the Communists are seeking neither to destroy
America in thermo-nuclear war nor to convert Americans to an acceptance of
Communism, it is necessary to describe their actual program. It is the
progressive surrender of America in the face of military blackmail after
America is externally encircled and internally demoralized.
The official title
given to the program of conquest by progressive surrender is
"co-existence."
Encirclement
This Communist strategy has been achieving outstanding results: The
Communist leadership surveys the world scene with rapture. They can point
with pride to successes greater than any history records. The simple
statistics are awesome. Lenin commenced Bolshevism with about 17 supporters
in 1903. He conquered Russia with about 40,000 in 1917, and today the
Leninist parties have conquered more than one billion of the inhabitants of
the earth. Their offensive forces are moving in many areas. They are on the
attack in southeast Asia, in India, in Africa, and in Latin America. Cuba
has been conquered and consolidated as a Communist base for the
infiltration, subversion and conquest of the Western Hemisphere. However, we
may rationalize and whistle in the dark concerning problems within the
Communist empire, including the alleged conflict between Russia and China,
the alleged conflict between Khrushchev and the Stalinists, the problems of
agricultural production and the headlong flight from Communist countries,
these objective achievements remain. If such problems would prevent
Communist conquest, Communism would not now rule over one billion people as
such problems have been present from the beginning, often in a more acute
form. The phase of Communist encirclement is obviously proceeding well.
International Demoralization
The term "demoralization" is used in its widest sense. It is
not necessary that the American people become addicts of alcohol, drugs or
pornography. It is merely that they accept sensory experience as the highest
of all values. The simple fact of living then becomes the most precious
thing. No issue could be so important that it would merit the surrender of
life. Once this principle is established, no one would be willing to die for
country, faith or the survival of human liberty. To live at any cost becomes
the accepted norm.
Once this attitude
prevails, Communism has won. All it needs to reveal this victory is to
create a series of crises in which the American people are offered the
choice–grant this concession or risk death, probably atomic death. Granted
the acceptance of the foregoing principles, the response is obvious. However
unpleasant the concession may be, the price of possible death is too high to
pay so the concession is granted. By a series of such concessions, the
Communists plan to change the power balance of the world until America is
isolated, encircled, and threatened with military destruction. At this point
they are confident the final act of surrender will take place and they will
achieve the objective of conquest without destroying Russia, America or
being destroyed themselves.
When Is America Ready to Surrender?
Timing is important and the Communists need to know when America has
reached the point of surrender. Precipitate action may involve the calamity
of thermo-nuclear war, whereas undue waiting may deprive the Communist
leadership of personal enjoyment of the fruits of victory. It is probably
that heated debate on this question has been taking place among the
Communist leaders. When individuals are utterly convinced of their own
theories, they tend to observe only those things that support these theories
and agents, knowing the wishes of their masters, tend to report what the
masters wish to hear. Doubtless the Communist leaders were receiving many
reports which would indicate to them that America was ripe for surrender.
They heard of the outcry for unilateral disarmament, the protests of
so-called peace movements, the refusal to build atomic shelters, and they
noted repeated acts of indecision by authority in the face of Communist
advance. Was America ready to surrender? It was decided to apply a test.
Baking a Cake
When the housewife is baking a cake, it is important for her to know the
precise point at which the cake is baked and ready for consumption. She
applies a test. Opening the oven door, a straw or toothpick is inserted into
the cake and withdrawn. If the straw emerges clean, the cake is baked. If
cake mixture adheres to the straw, it shows future baking is necessary. The
oven door is closed and the process continues.
Missiles Cuba
The placing of the offensive missiles in Cuba may be likened to a test
to see whether the American cake was baked and ready for consumption. If
America did not take whatever steps were necessary to assure the removal of
these missiles but limited herself to mere verbal protest, it would show the
Communists that America was already defeated and that no provocation,
however great, would lead to resolute action. They would now feel free to
step up their pressure all around the world with confidence that there was
no danger of thermo-nuclear war and that each crisis would result in an
American surrender and that final conquest could be consumated in a very
brief period indeed.
The Result of the Test
The Communists received their answer but it was not the answer for which
they had hoped. The reaction proved the American surrender cake was by no
means baked. The resolute stand, involving actions and not mere words, taken
by the American President and fully supported by the American people proved
this. The American people were not ready to be consumed by the Communist
power. Although the action taken in establishing a blockade seemed to risk
the horrors of thermo-nuclear war, the American people resolutely supported
the President in his courageous stand, being willing to die so that human
freedom might live.
The Reaction
Having received the answer, the Communists applied the principles of
Communist strategy and Khrushchev revealed himself as the mast of the
dialectic. "History is on our side. We will bury you."
Applied Dialectic
The philosophy of Communism is called "Dialectical
Materialism". This philosophy, frequently shortened to "diamat",
is taught in every Communist school throughout the entire world. It teaches
Communists that they must progress to their fixed goal by a series of
advances and retreats. Progress is made in the same way as a nail is driven.
It is foolish to bring the hammer crashing down and continue pushing. When
one blow is spent, the hammer must be withdrawn. An ignorant observer
watching the act of withdrawal of the hammer might conclude that the
objective of driving in the nail had been discarded. The observer, familiar
with the process, would know that the act of withdrawal was as essential to
the driving in of the nail as the downward thrust.
This dialectic teaches
the Communists the importance of retreat; that retreat is an essential part
of advance. A Communist commander, who cannot stage a strategic retreat, is
unworthy of the name of Communist. Stalin, quoting Lenin, says, "The
revolutionary parties must complete their education. They have learned to
attack. This knowledge must be supplement with the knowledge of how to
retreat properly. Victory is impossible unless they have learned both how to
attack and how to retreat properly." Having learned what he needed to
know Khrushchev could now be expected to apply the Communist principle of
strategic retreat.
President Kennedy made
his speech announcing the Cuban blockade on October 22. On October 25, we
conducted a public meeting in Anaheim, California. The Rev. Robert Shuler of
Garden Grove said to me, "The most serene members of my congregation
are the graduated of your school. They understand the Communist dialectic.
The others tend to be hysterical. You are frequently accused of spreading
hysteria and despair. In this instance you have spread confidence and
serenity."
Prediction
Speaking in San Diego during the Cuban crisis, I predicted that acting
as a Communist, and applying the dialectic, Khrushchev would do this: He
would make some dramatic announcement that would remove the dreadful fear of
thermo-nuclear war hovering over mankind and in so doing win for himself the
reputation of a man of peace. The following day the announcement was made
that Khrushchev had said he would remove the missiles from Cuba and accept
international inspection. He thus followed the predictable course of a
dedicated, theoretical Communist and must have enhanced his reputation and
prestige with enlightened Communists throughout the world. Simultaneously he
received an unprecedented outburst of respect and affection from friend and
enemy.
Dialectical Application
To understand how the dialectic works in a specific application, assume
that a man, his wife and daughter are cornered by a crazed gunman who holds
them at the point of his gun. He announced to the man, "I am going to
shoot your daughter first. Following that I propose to shoot your wife. When
they are both dead, I plan to shoot you." Can we conceive the emotional
tension and mental anguish experienced by such a man? Rapidly he considers
the possibilities of action and wonders whether it would be wiser to wait
with the hope that the gunman may relax his guiard or whether he should
stake everything on one frantic rush. He finally reaches the point where he
is preparing to rush the man and risk the consequences. The gunman observes
this and suddenly relaxes and says with a smile, "Let us have a
conference. Lets talk it over. Give me a thousand dollars and I will forget
the whole thing." What a relaxation of tension. A transformation comes
over the world. Life with its glory replaces the impending doom of death. In
the emotional release it would be natural to feel gratitude and affection
for the man who, by his change of attitude, has granted these gifts.
Once a crisis is
established, its cause tends to be forgotten. When an individual resolves
this crisis, even though he deliberately created it, he tends to reap a
reward of appreciation and affection for his final act.
This illustrates the
principles applied by Khrushchev. Khrushchev, not Castro, created the Cuban
crisis. Khrushchev supplied the missiles, the ships to carry them, the
technicians to install them, and the troops to guard them. Nevertheless,
when he removed them, he changed his image throughout the entire world. In
the minds of many, he immediately became the most peace loving and
reasonable of all the Communist leaders and great hope for the security of
mankind. This attitude applied not only to neutrals, but to bitter enemies
of Communism. It may have been expected that Betreand Russell would state
that Khrushchev was the Saviour of Mankind, but who could have expected that
Anti-Communist, George Sokolsky would also have knelt before the Khrushchev
shrine in adoration. Nevertheless, this amazing statement appeared in the
Los Angeles Herald Examiner Friday, November 16, in the column of George
Sokolsky:
"Let
us look at the other side of the coin, Khrushchev is fighting for his
political life and it is now clear that the Communist congress on Nov. 19
will definitely decide whether he continues in office or not.
"Should
Khrushchev be demoted or sent into exile, it would mean that the Stalinist
party will be in control. Should Khrushchev remain the leader of European
communism, it is likely that Soviet Russia will support the American
position in Cuba with arms and that Soviet Russia will support Nehru in
partnership with the United States and Great Britain."
The idea of
this joint Russian Communist and American Capitalist force invading Cuba is
a fascinating one. It will pose certain problems as to who will be the
commander-in-chief of this force and whether the chaplains and political
commissars will share the same facilities for their services and atheistic
indoctrination courses. This concept approaches the limits of the ludicrous.
The walls of the Kremlin must be rocking with laughter while Khrushchev is
acclaimed for his dialectical skill.
Who Won the Victory?
Both America and the Communists can claim to have had victories in the
crisis but the overall victory has obviously bone to the Communists. America
can claim that the offensive missiles and aircraft have been removed from
Cuba. Provided we accept the Communist assurance that this has been done,
this is a victory of no mean magnitude. America revealed to the world that
she possesses courage to act and is not the paper tiger portrayed in
Communist propaganda. The situation revealed that if they are given
courageous and intelligent leadership the American people and the
governments of Latin America will rally and give wholehearted support.
Nevertheless, the
overall Communist position in the Western Hemisphere has been strengthened.
Three months ago every informed citizen was gravely concerned because of the
Cuban situation. This concern was not due to the presence in Cuba of
offensive missiles but because Cuba was the focus of infection for the
Communist disease in the Western Hemisphere. Cuba was the scourge of many
countries. It recruited, trained, and directed subversive agents; It also
financed subversion through its diplomatic offices; Its radio network
ceaselessly beamed propaganda voicing hatred of the U.S.A. and encouraging
revolt against legitimate government; It provided a reservoir of weapons and
military personnel for any Communist revolt in any western country. Today
this situation continues with a guarantee of security given by the President
of the United States. Is it any wonder that it is reported that the
Castroites through all Latin America are jubilant? A great victory has truly
been won.
America seems to have
clarified what she will accept in the Western Hemisphere. Any country may:
1. Establish a Communist government.
2. Destroy all the basic liberties of its own people.
3. Fill up it prisons and concentration camps and utilize its firing
squads.
4. Expropriate American property without compensation.
5. Establish a military treaty with Russia and Cuba.
6. Receive vast quantities of Communist weapons including tanks, fighter
aircraft and shortrange missiles.
7. Receive large numbers of the troops of Communist countries.
These
things may be done with impunity. The impermissible is to receive missiles
and bomber aircraft which could deliver an atomic or thermonuclear attack on
the United States.
Certainly no sensible
and enlightened person can survey this situation with equanimity.
The Future
The Communists are continuing to bake the cake. The vast program that
existed prior to the Cuban crisis is continuing. The immediate military
challenge has been met. Very little is being done to meet the ideological
and subversive challenge. Faced by the flood of Communist literature is
Latin America, the recruitment of Communist students in the universities and
the formation of guerrilla revolutionary units, action must be taken in all
these fields with the same resolution and willingness to sacrifice that was
shown during the military phase of the Cuban crisis.
MEETING AT UCLA
Few experiences are more exhilarating than
speaking to a large group of university students. The students are a
critical and a responsive audience. It is not unusual for many of them to be
somewhat prejudiced because they have been misinformed. In spite of this,
most of them respond to a message which is reasoned and logical.
On October 17, I
addressed the Associated Students of UCLA. A great crowd gathered. A small
groups of opponents distributed leaflets attacking me. These leaflets were
an insult to the intelligence of the students because the selection of
fragments of my statements and their combination into a biased and false
frame was obvious.
The audience listened
with rapt attention and during the discussion period the questions were
penetrating but not unfriendly.
The following letter
was received from the chairman following the meeting:
"Associated Students-UCLA
308 Westwood Boulevard, L.A. 24, Calif.
October 18, 1962
"Dear Dr. Schwarz:
"On behalf of the Associated Students of UCLA, I would like to thank
you for your interest in our Speakers’ Program. As evidenced by the
largest attendance at any of our presentations this semester the interest
in your speech yesterday was considerable. You provided a controversial
subject with a logical and reasoned approach, which was respected and
enjoyed by all shades of opinion. We appreciate your time and effort
involved.
"We hope we may
have the opportunity of hearing you speak on the campus again in the near
future.
"Sincerely yours,
Phillip L. Friedman, Chairman
Distinguished Speakers’ Programme"
In the
coming year we hope to address many more university gatherings.
PARADOX
We inhabit a topsy turvy world in which values
frequently become inverted. I was reminded of this when I read an article on
myself in the magazine, Cavalier, written by Dan Wakefield. Magazines that
should stand for integrity and objectivity have been guilty of the most
vicious slanders against the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade. These
magazines include: The Christian Century, America, The Commonweal, Reporter
Magazine, and News Week to mention but a few.
In contrast to this the
article in Cavalier is one of the most objective and unbiased we have read.
Cavalier is not a magazine that we would commend to our readers. It
specializes in the display of the undraped female form and the presentation
of sex.
It is a paradox when a
magazine of this caliber presents an article of so much higher quality than
religious and liberal journals.
Some extracts from the
article of Don Wakefield are noticeable:
"The
reputation of Schwarz as a menace who preaches ‘hate’ and ‘fascism’
seems based on the broad kind of categorizing that the liberals complain
of as ‘guilt by association’ when it is applied to them by the
rightniks. Just as many of the rightniks see all people on the left as ‘Communists,’
many of the leftniks see all people of the right as ‘Fascists.’ But
the trouble is they don’t really see each other at all. This was
literally the case with one of Dr. Schwarz’s critics in New York, who
refused to meet with Schwarz personally and discuss his views–a
confrontation which might have upset the neat categories so comfortably
arranged in the critic’s mind." (A clear reference to Arnold
Forster of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith. Ed.)
"He travels now
about 100,000 miles a year, and, despite the charges that ‘he’s in it
for the money,’ he lives decently but ordinarily neither in luxury nor
squalor. He was staying in New York at the Prince George hotel on 28th
Street, which is Triple-A and comfortable but hardly the Plaza. High
living is simply not his line, as anyone could tell from looking at his
suits. As he frankly explained his finances a little later. . . I’m no
martyr–but I’m not trying to be the richest man in the Communist
liquidation line, either."
"Q. What do you
think about socialism?
"A. It depends
on what kind of socialism your’re talking about. There are more
varieties of socialism than there are of Baptists–and there are more
varieties of Baptist than there are of Heinz sauces. Each kind has to be
judged as a separate entity. Take Germany. There’s Ulbricht’s
socialism in East Germany, and that’s of course, a way-station to full
Communism. But then there’s Willy Brandt in West Berlin, he’s a member
of the Social Democratic party and that’s entirely different. Anyone who
identifies democratic socialism with Communism is all mixed up. You don’t
have to be a political conservative to be an anti-Communist."
TAPE OF THE MONTH
"Lessons To Be Learned From the Cuban
Crisis". This is a discussion from the point of view of the Communists
of what they were trying to achieve by putting their missiles in Cuba; what
they have achieved by taking them out; who has emerged victorious in the
total situation; and what the future holds.
CRY OF ANGUISH–FROM THE
HEART OF COMMUNISM
Review of "You Can Trust the
Communists" in Rude Pravo, Official Journal of the Communist Party of
Czechoslovakia
A great tribute to the
effectiveness of the book "You Can Trust the Communists" comes
from the highest echelons of the Communist Party. A vicious attack on the
book has been published in the official journal of the Czechoslovak
Communist Party. Rude Pravo, translated "Red Truth". The title is
"When an Maniac Writes a Book." Judging by their reactions this
book is effective. A portion of the article is as follows:
"In
response to the demands of this imperialist bourgeoisie various people in
the U.S.A. organize groups, write books and give lectures promising
complete destruction of the communist ‘virus’ in the country. There is
an ‘illustrious’ champion, Fred Schwarz, formerly an Australian
doctor. He, Dr. Schwarz, tries to uproot communism by ideological means
and is the founder of the ‘Christian Anti-Communist Campaign’. He
wrote ‘You Can Trust the Communists’, a book which appeared in ten
editions and a huge number of copies thanks i.a. to generous support from
monopolist circles. While he was on his lecture tour of American
universities and various other institutions Comrade Hall happened to
arrive at Seattle ahead of him. What should have been an anti-communist
week turned out to be – according to a local paper – a ‘Gus Hall
week’.
"This does not
mean, of course, that men of the Schwarz type do not exercise a certain
amount of influence on the American public. It was not by coincidence that
that American liberal paper ‘Nation’ wrote on the 5th June,
1962, ‘The events of the past 30 years prove that the extreme right wing
reached the maximum results after many years of effort and that a further
extension of this effort can be expected.’
"This book
differs from many other USA publications on social problems. Instead of
wearing the cloak of scientific objectivity it makes no secret of the
intention to launch an attack on Marxist ideas.
"Schwarz also
tries his skill as a psychologist and appeals to the reader’s emotions.
He likens communism to cancer – a mysterious evil that baffles the
diagnostician. The American people he describes as a helpless child
tempted to accept a sweet or a toy from lurking kidnappers (communists)
while the child’s mother (Schwarz and others like him) keeps a careful
watch.
"In his book he
says repeatedly that masses of people in USA unwittingly agree with
communists. In order to ‘Help’ these democrats he attempts to
formulate a set of criteria which should help them to read the thoughts of
near-communists and the communists themselves.
"Schwarz is
alive to the importance of the struggle between ideas in USA and does not
fail to stress it in every chapter. He offers his experience to militant
monopolists in a business-like manner. The victory of progressive ideas in
the world fills him with maniacal horror.
"It is
encouraging that more and more people raise their voices against Schwarz
and against the official USA POLICY."
"YOU CAN
TRUST THE COMMUNISTS"–LATIN AMERICA
As the acute military crisis focused on Cuba
subsides, ideological and subversive war takes the spotlight once again.
A most important weapon
in this war is the Spanish translation of "You Can Trust the
Communists."
A most regrettable
feature of the publication of the Spanish book "You Can Trust the
Communists" was the high cost. To buy them wholesale in large
quantities we had to pay $2 per copy. The retail price was prohibitive.
Nevertheless, the first edition has already been sold out and the effect of
the book has been devastating to the Communist forces.
We were elated to
discover that it has now been published in the form of an illustrated
magazine and that we can purchase these for 30 cents per copy wholesale. It
is our earnest desire to purchase 100,000 copies for distribution in every
university in Latin America. The text is identical but the cost is very
different. The book cost $2 wholesale whereas the magazine costs only 30
cents. (Please note and help.)
Portuguese Translation
Spanish is not the only important language in Latin America. It comes as
a surprise to learn that more people in South America speak Portuguese than
Spanish. Brazil is the largest the most populous, and the most significant
country in South America. It faces a serious Communist threat. The
inhabitants speak Portuguese. Negotiations sparked by the United States
Information Agency are in process for the publication of a Portuguese
translation of "You Can Trust the Communists" in Rio de Janeiro.
This is a great step forward. We are following our normal practice of
purchasing several thousand copies of the first edition to encourage
publication. We plan to distribute these freely in strategic areas including
the universities, of course.
BRITISH GUIANA
The present situation in British Guiana
contains elements of hope and also cause for concern. Communist leader,
Cheddi Jagan has been frustrated in his attempt to achieve immediate
complete control of that country, but he has not given up and remains hard
at work. The situation is:
1. Jagan continues as prime minister of
British Guiana.
2. He is sustained in power by British military forces.
3. Britain retains control of the foreign relations of British Guiana.
4. A conference held to discuss full independence for British Guiana, held
in England in October, broke up with no agreement being reached. The
opposition parties were represented at this conference and they demanded a
new election and proportional representation before independence. Jagan
could obviously not agree to this as the opposition represents 60 per cent
of the electorate.
5. Jagan has launched a bitter attack against England and has taken his
demands for independence to the United Nations.
6. It is reported that he is negotiating with Russia to build the
"fishing industry" in British Guiana.
7. A Russian economic mission is to visit British Guiana.
We dare not
relax. If Jagan gets independence, the events in Cuba give him clear guide
lines as to what he can do without American intervention. He could establish
British Guiana as a Communist base similar to the one existing in Cuba. He
could do this without American intervention. Across the border the forces
and supplies would flow into Venezuela and Brazil. The potentials for
tragedy in this situation are obvious.
SINISTER VISITORS–THE
AMERICAN NAZIS
On Friday, November 23, I was conducting a
rally in Patriotic Hall in downtown Los Angeles. About 9:00 P.M. I noticed a
group of four men walk down the aisle and sit together. I noted their
muscular appearance and martial bearing. They created no disturbance but
listened attentively to the conclusion of my message on Cuba. During
question time one of them stood and said, "My name is Rockwell. What is
the good of teaching the American people about Communism if you don’t tell
them the truth about its Jewish leadership?"
I realized at that
point that he was Lincoln Rockwell, Fuhrer of the American Nazis, with a
group of his associates. I replied, "The statement that Communism is
under Jewish leadership is not the truth. It is a paranoid delusion. Lenin
was not a Jew; Stalin was not a Jew; Khrushchev is not a Jew; Mao Tse-tun is
not a Jew; and Castro is not a Jew. The idea that Communism is a Jewish
conspiracy is false. Rockwell sat down quietly and the group caused no
trouble at the meeting.
Jewish Critics and Jewish Friends
It is unfortunately true that many Jews have been misinformed concerning
the nature and message of the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade and have a
hostile attitude towards us. It is also true that more and more Jews are
investigating for themselves, rejecting the lies that they have heard,
learning the truth and becoming our firm friends. I now rarely speak at a
meeting without a considerable number of Jewish friends being present.
In our November News
Letter I noted that the newspaper "The Los Angeles Reporter" had
been hostile. The publisher of that newspaper, L.S. Waxman, wrote to me as
follows: "In your introduction to the advertisement you indicate ‘The
newspaper itself has been hostile to our work’. You might have been
gentleman enough to add, ‘And yet they accepted this small advertisement
and have given us free publicitiy.’"
I gladly acknowledge my
oversight and acknowledge that Mr. Waxman has not only criticized our work
editorially but has announced our meetings, accepted an advertisement and
published letters in his correspondence columns. He has thus adhered to the
ethics of journalism.
INDIA
The plight of India is pitiful as the Red
Chinese Dragon bites the hand that fed it. It may be tempting to smile
patronizingly and say, "They asked for it. It serves them right,"
but this is not the attitude that either Christian charity or self
preservation would dictate. Communism is the universal enemy of all free
men. A Communist victory in any country is a defeat for free men everywhere.
We must give all help possible and hope and pray that the Indian leaders
have at last emerged from their dream palace of rosy delusions into the
world of grim reality and that the predatory nature of Communism is now
fully realized.
Our many friends in
India need our continuing help, and we need their truthful voice.
The Voice of Kerala
George Thomas, publisher of Keraladwhani, The Voice of Kerala, has
returned to India following his visit to the United States. We were not able
to provide his with all the help needed, and he returned sadly without the
funds urgently required. This newspaper carries on a truly magnificent work.
It presented the correctness of America’s Cuban stand from the beginning.
We must support such proven friends.
Further north in Andhra
State the work of the orphanage, the printing press, and village visitation
is an essential part of our continuing struggle. Our Family is large and
active.
CONCLUSION
The battle is raging fiercely as we approach
the Christmas season of "peace on earth, good will to men". It is
possible to be fiercely embroiled in the battle against the godless
Communist enemy and yet to be at peace in mind and heart. It may be said
that the only way to be truly at peace within is to be fully committed in
this conflict. Idleness is the parent of frustration and despair. Energetic
activity and devoted sacrifice bring true peace of mind in the knowledge
that we are at one with God and His purpose. My sincere wish is that each of
you may know the fullness of the peace of Christ this Christmas season.
Yours very sincerely,
Fred Schwarz
