DO OFFENSIVE MISSILES
REMAIN IN CUBA?
Ominous reports are circulating that offensive
missiles remain in Cuba. The Administration denies that there is any
evidence suggesting the presence of such missiles, but the reports continue.
The situation is reminiscent of that which existed prior to the missile
crisis of October, 1962. At that time informed individuals, particularly
Senator Keating of New York, were stating that missiles were present in Cuba
while the government was denying this. Suddenly indisputable evidence of the
presence of missiles was discovered and the "eyeball to eyeball"
confrontation took place.
In this situation, the
statement of Fidel Castro in the speech he delivered on February 6, 1966,
attacking the communists of China is significant. This speech has been
published in full by the "Peking Review" of February 25, 1966.
Fidel Castro says:
"We
talk on behalf of a people who did not hesitate for the sake of
strengthening the revolutionary movement, for the sake of strengthening
the socialist camp, for the sake of firmness and determination in defense
of the revolution against the imperialists, did not hesitate to risk the
dangers of thermonuclear war, of nuclear attack against us, when in our
country and on our territory–with absolute and full rights, which we
never renounce, and in an absolutely legitimate action, which we never
regret–we agreed to the installation of thermonuclear strategic missiles
on our territory! And, besides, not only did we agree to have them brought
in but we did not agree to have them taken out!"
These words
are ominous. They do not prove that offensive missiles are in Cuba but
suggest the possibility of their present or future presence.
It is wise to remember
that a second missile crisis in Cuba would be in keeping with the communist
philosophy of "dialectical" advance. This method utilizes a series
of advances and retreats similar to the hammering of a nail. They return
over and over again to the objective they have filed to reach in previous
attempts. Because the communists did not succeed in intimidating America on
their first attempt, this does not mean they are not trying again. This is
the hour for vigilance, not complacency.
It is significant that
the American Communist newspaper "The Worker" omitted all
reference to this statement of Fidel Castro on nuclear weapons from their
report of his speech which was published in "The Worker" of
February 20, 1966.
The honeymoon between
Communist China and Communist Cuba has now erupted into a passionate family
brawl. Communist China was jealous of Cuba’s affection for her rival,
Soviet Russia. She has attempted to starve Cuba into submission. Castro has
responded with language so immoderate and vituperative that you would think
he was referring to his arch-enemy, the United States.
It’s a family fight,
and the sign is up, "Outsiders keep out."
ANTI-COMMUNIST
SCHOOL
An Anti-Communist School will be held in
Memphis, Tennessee, from April 25-29. One hour will be televised each
evening over TV Station, W.M.C.T.
THE NEW LEFT–SHOCK TROOPS
AND RESERVES
J. Edgar
Hoover, Director of the F.B.I. appeared as a guest columnist in the Los
Angeles Herald Examiner on Tuesday, March 8. His subject was "Danger on
the Campuses of the Nation." He states:
"The
American college student today is being subjected to a bewildering and
dangerous conspiracy perhaps unlike any social challenge ever before
encountered by our youth. On many campuses he faces a turbulence built on
unrestrained individualism, repulsive dress and speech, outright
obscenity, disdain for moral and spiritual values, and disrespect for law
and order. This movement, commonly referred to as the ‘New Left,’ is
complex in its deceitful absurdity and characterized by its lack of common
sense.
". . . The
Communist Party, USA, as well as other subversive groups, is jubilant over
these new rebellious activities. The unvarnished truth is that the
Communist conspiracy is seizing this insurrectionary climate to captivate
the thinking of rebellious-minded youth and coax them into the Communist
movement itself or at least agitate them into serving the Communist cause.
"This is being
accomplished primarily by a two-pronged offensive–a much publicized
college speaking program and the campus-oriented Communist W.E.B. DuBois
Clubs of America. Therefore, the Communist influence is cleverly injected
into civil disobedience and reprisals against our economic, political, and
social system.
". . . The
participants of the New Left are part of the 100,000 ‘state of mind’
members Gus Hall, the party’s general secretary, refers to when he talks
of party strength. He recently stated the party is experiencing the
greatest upsurge in its history with a ‘one to two thousand’ increase
in membership in the last year.
"For the first
time since 1959, the party plans a national convention this spring. . . A
Communist student, writing in an official party organ, recently stated,
‘There is no question but that the New Left will be won.’"
The Reserves
One important feature which has not received sufficient attention is
that behind this "New Left" there are strong reserves. These
reserves are the hundreds of thousands of ex-communists who have broken
their formal ties with the Communist Party but have not renounced their
communist ideas. At its peak, the membership of the American Communist Party
was over 100,000. It fell to less than 10,000. Where are these ex-communists
and how do they now feel about communism?
These questions have
been answered by Professor Eugene D. Genovese of the history department of
Rutgers University. Genovese is the Marxist Professor who became nationally
famous or infamous when he advocated a Vietcong victory in Vietnam. A speech
of his on "The New Left" is published in the "National
Guardian" of February 19,1966. He states:
"I
wish to speak about the disorganized and somewhat disenchanted, who
undoubtedly form a great majority of the middle-aged radicals in the
country." (He means ex-communists). "They are the so-called
tired old radicals who gave up the fight. . . They are also–permit me to
observe–the people to whom we go when we need to fill the streets with
demonstrators or to finance some new project or to support the children
who complain about their parents’ complacency.
". . . These
older radicals continue to serve loyally, pay the bills and tolerate the
contempt; they even act as if they deserve it.
". . . Two kinds
of guilt haunt these old Leftists and are largely responsible for their
pathetic adoration of our present generation of young radicals. Guilt
about Stalinism. Guilt about a later accommodation to middle-class life.
". . . Perhaps
if our older Leftists stop feeling guilty about their past errors, they
may also stop feeling guilty about their present lives. There is somehow
something wrong with being professors, doctors, engineers, accountants,
business managers, executives, and so forth!" National Guardian,
February 19, 1966, pages 6 and 7.
The
communist objective is to form a new political movement harnessing the
idealism, enthusiasm, and impassioned activity of the "New Left"
and merging it with a revitalized "Old Left," thus creating a
political force to be used for the service of Soviet Imperialism. The
potential danger of this development is great. It is no longer possible to
laugh at the internal danger communism presents.
Anti-communist work on
the campuses is of utmost importance.
ANTI-COMMUNISM
SCHOOLS
In 1964 we conducted an anti-communism school
in Washington, D.C. 600 students from 180 campuses gathered in the nation’s
capital. We provided them with scholarships for transportation,
accommodation, meals, and tuition.
If financial support is
forthcoming, we plan to conduct similar schools for college and university
students in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles this summer.
THE DOMINOES ARE SHAKING
Communists plan that the countries of
Southeast Asia should fall one after the other as each country conquered or
subverted serves as a base and sanctuary for the overthrow of the
neighboring country. The order has been: North Vietnam; Laos (by partition);
Cambodia (by subversion); and South Vietnam was to have been next, then
Thailand, Malaysia and Burma.
American action has
prevented the military conquest of South Vietnam. The road to Thailand is
open through Laos and the attack on that country is intensifying.
Peking Review of March
4, reports: "The people’s armed struggle in Thailand is on the rise.
More and more people are taking up arms against the twin evils of U.S.
imperialism and the traitorous Thai dictatorial regime. . .
"The forming of
the Thailand Patriotic Front on New Year’s Day 1965 is a milestone in the
people’s struggle. The Front, which has become the focal point for
rallying all patriotic Thai forces, has brought the people’s revolutionary
struggle to a new high." Peking Review, March 4, 1966, Page 23.
Should South Vietnam
fall, the collapse of Thailand could not be long delayed. There would be
escalation–escalation of the rate of communist conquest of all Southeast
Asia.
RECORD
REVIEW
Encouraging comments are being received along
with orders for Janet’s records:
"One
local disc-jockey said he was using the records on his programs and
another colleague was doing so also. Seven local radio stations have been
sent the three records so far. I plan to utilize the current order in
testing local teacher interest." Oklahoma City
A Sister
from Butte, Montana, writes, "Sorry I can’t be a donor–but I can be
a doer. This makes 58 records I’ve sold."
Janet has added two
more songs to the arsenal of freedom. One is a satire on the "New
Left" entitled "Poor Left Winger" and the other a tribute to
the Cuban refugees entitled "Run." Sheet music of the first six
songs is now available at 50 cents per song.

"WHAT IS COMMUNISM"
SERIES
Short Messages on Tape and Record
I have just completed
fourteen short messages on fundamental aspects of communism. The subjects of
these messages are:
What is Communism?
The Communist Doctrines of Class and Class Warfare
The Communist Doctrines of Class Morality and Class Guilt
The Communist Party
Communist Recruitment
Communist Training
Communist Activity
Communist Fronts
The Dictatorship of the Proletariat
Communist Monopoly
Communist Strategy to Conquer the U.S.A.
The Sino-Soviet Conflict
The Communist Dialectic
What You Can Do
Each message is recorded on radio tape and
on long-playing record. Printed copies are also available.
The purposes for which
these messages are designed are: 1) Use as a series by radio stations; 2)
Use by schools; 3) Use by study groups.
The messages are
educational rather than inspirational and emotional.
Over 250 radio stations
have agreed to publicize the work of the Crusade. Many will be running these
lectures as a series. Why not check your local radio station and encourage
them to do this?
Each message is 13
minutes long and is ideal for a study group. A program of one-hour’s
length could include: 1) The playing of one message, 2) A chapter from
"You Can Trust the Communists (to be Communists)" or "Masters
of Deceit" by J. Edgar Hoover, and 3) A discussion period.
The series may be
secured on tape or on long-playing records. There are three tapes and four
records. Tapes I and II carry six messages. Tape III has two messages and
eight anti-communism songs by Janet Greene.
Records I, II, and III
carry two messages on each side. Record IV has two messages on one side and
eight anti-communist songs by Janet Greene on the other side.
The tapes cost $5 each
or $15 for the set.
The records cost $3
each or $10 for the set.
These tools are honed
sharp. Please use them.
GHANA LIBERATED
The communists are licking their wounds.
Following their debacle in Indonesia, they have now suffered a shattering
reverse in Ghana where their outstanding African representative, Kwame
Nkrumah has been overthrown.
Ghana was to Africa
what Cuba is to Latin America–a center for the training of revolutionaries
from other countries in the techniques of sabotage, guerrilla war,
subversion and terror from which they returned to overthrow the governments
of their own countries. Large numbers of Russians and Chinese were serving
as instructors in subversion.
Nkrumah was the
self-styled Redeemer and Perpetual President of Ghana. He ruled through his
Party which was called the Convention People’s Party or CPP. Nkrumah is a
communist but the CPP was not a typical Communist Party. He was in the
process of transforming it into a Communist Party when he was overthrown.
This is revealed by an
article in the February edition of "The World Marxist Review"
written by Kofi Batsa, chief editor of Nkrumah’s weekly newspaper, The
Spark, and deputy of the National Assembly. He writes:
"Kwame
Nkrumah has declared that socialism can only be built by socialists, and
the battle against the survivals of colonialism in the minds of men is of
decisive importance. At its inception the Convention People’s Party was
a party embracing all sections of the populations, with its roots firmly
in the broad mass of the common people.
"The task now is
to transform it into a vanguard party leading and organizing the masses on
the basis of a common ideology–that of scientific socialism,
Marxism-Leninism applied to African conditions. (Note: Marxism-Leninism is
a synonym for communism)
"The CPP has
rejected the concept of ‘African Socialism,’ believing it to be
neither African nor socialism, seeing it as the offspring of the
class-collaborationist doctrines of West European Right-Wing
Social-Democracy. The CPP knows only one socialism–scientific socialism–and
the aims of the CPP now include ‘to pursue the study of scientific
socialism as enriched and advanced in Nkrumaism." World Marxist
Review, February, 1966, Page 41.
Although
overthrown, Nkrumah is trying to rally his forces for a counterattack. He
has established his base in Guinea, which has a role in Africa similar to
that of Ghana. He has been appointed President of Guinea and undoubtedly
plans to use military forces trained in Guinea to try to seize power again
in Ghana and establish an enlarged communist base.
A battle has been won,
but the war goes on.
AMERICAN COMMUNISTS
The resurgent American Communist Party has
just published a draft of a New Program. It is a superb example of how
communists apply the formula, "Find out what people want; promise it to
them; go to work to get it for them so that you may come to power over
them."
An analysis of this
Communist Program will be featured in our next newsletter.
TO HIM THAT IS DEFILED AND
UNBELIEVING, NOTHING IS PURE
The Chinese Communists have published a
slashing attack on Christian missionaries in the March 4, edition of the
"Peking Review." They accuse American missionaries of committing
such evil crimes as: "Running schools and hospitals in the hinterlands
of many Asian and African countries;" "supporting national
independence;" "expressing sympathy towards social progress;"
"remaining behind the scenes and encouraging local churchmen to take
the limelight;" "setting up broadcasting and book distribution
networks;" and "preaching love and forgiveness."
The remarkable thing is
that the Chinese Communists apparently believe that all these activities are
part of a conspiracy of evil. They approve the murder of the missionary
doctor, Paul Carlson, by the Congolese rebels.
The text of the Chinese
Communist statement is as follows:
Hypocrisy of Missionary Activities
"Another weapon in the U.S. ‘ideological
offensive’ is missionary activities. According to statistics for 1958,
out of the 29,000 American missionaries abroad, more than 15,000 were in
Asia and Africa. . . . By 1963, American missionaries overseas has
increased to 33,000.
"In the past, in
the name of philanthropy, American missionaries have run schools and
hospitals in the hinterlands of many Asian and African countries in order
to poison the minds of the local people.
"American
missionaries today profess support for national independence and sympathy
towards social progress so that they can worm their way into local mass
movements, and side-track them into a path of ‘reformism’ and away
from anti-imperialism and revolution.
". . .Churches
are deliberately given an indigenous character and religious rites a
national form. Local churchmen are encouraged to take the limelight while
American missionaries act behind the scenes.
". . .In Africa,
American churches in recent years have made greater efforts to set up
broadcasting and book distribution networks. . . By running schools,
medical and health services, they try to sneak their way into the local
trade union and youth movements so as to increase their influences.
"Recently
American missionaries have been advised by their church headquarters to
preach ‘love’ and ‘forgiveness’ as a means to calm the
anti-imperialist temper of the Afro-Asian people. Actually they miss no
opportunity to engage in criminal underhand activities. The execution of
the American missionary doctor-cum-special agent Paul Carlson by the
Congolese (L) people in 1964 shows what is up the sleeve of U.S.
imperialism in its foreign missionary operations." Peking Review,
March 4, 1966, Pages 16 and 17.
The
appropriate reaction of Christians should be to increase the support of
missionaries who are giving themselves unstintingly to spread the light and
love of Christ and His Gospel.
