Brainwashing inc.

Mittens of TV viewers, profoundly disturbed by the gravity
of events in the Arab-Israeli conflict and its threat to
world peace, have been anxiously watching and listening to
the televised emergency sessions of the UN Security Council,

No one who cherishes the hope of peace or appreciates
something of the heavy responsibilities borne by the UN body,
can view these grave proceedings with equanimity.

What is most disturbing however, when the UN Security

washing, which, to the average Canadian runs a steady inter-

Thus when a representative of the Communist, colonial
or emerging nations world speaks, the Burke-De Poe-Leach
et al trained brainwashers cut in with agobful of their own pre-
digested detergent, branding all remarks from that area of
opinion as “Communist propaganda,”

Only the UN delegates from the “Free West” are inter-
preted as having a monopoly on constructive logic, truth, etc,
by these highly-articulate “free press” brainwashers, And
since John Doe is not presumed to have the gumption or
intelligence to draw his own conclusions from what he sees
and hears on his TV, the brainwashers cut-in with a dual
performance; to run viewer interference on a televised UN
debate (upon which the fate of world peace often appears to
hang by a fragile thread), and to feed John Doe with their

excess of this evil commodity, These brainwashers should
be compelled to hold their “opinions” until the UN Security
Council sessions adjourn, Then John Doe can turn them “off”
or “on” at will — mostly “off?; and give his uninterrupted

But there is no lull in Washington’s escalation of its war

On the contrary, the napalm and other deadly bombs are
still raining down in greater volume than ever, much as they

Obviously time is running out for the peoples of the world
who struggle for peace. Obvious also: that the first U.S,

he vast literary works of

Uenin’s great heritage to
mankind runs into scores of bulky
volumes of the most highly sci-
entific, social and _ historical
writings ever created by the
mind of man; a priceless liter-
ary heritage charting the course
to a new human society,

Moreover, in addition and pre-
ceeding Lenin, we have Karl
Marx’s Das Kapital plus a vast
collection of the Marxist class-
ics, written mostly by Marx and
his lifelong co-worker Fredrich
Engels, himself also a great
contributor to the basic philos-
ophy and theories of revolution-
ary scientific socialism,

To the above can be added the
profound works of many theorists,
exponents and leaders of socialist
thought and action in Europe and
America, whose contributions to
this vast arsenal of human en-
lightenment in their totality have
become the logarithms charting
the path to a new world,

Put all that literary heritage
together, the works of centuries
(and much more could be added
here) and you have untold bil-
lions of words with meaning,
solid content, and dynamic pur-
pose, More than any one human
brain could fully absorb, were
he (or she) to live as long as the
fabled Methueslah,

Then, in the space of a few
short years, a“ miracle’’ happens
-- and enlightened people, es-
pecially those claiming to be
adherents and exponents of the
science of Marxism-Leninism,
don’t believe in ‘‘miracles’’,

One man, and a very eminent
World Communist leader at that,
Chairman Mao Tse-tung of the
Peoples Republic of China, is
reputed to have digested and/or
compressed all this massive vol-
ume of theory, teachings, experi-
ence and practice of scientific
socialism into one very small
Red Book -- containing the con-
centrated quintessence of ‘‘Mao
Tse-tung’s Thought’? on all
matters relative thereto,

Next Friday — June 23rd —
is a big day in Vancouver, That’s
the day on which many hundreds
of taggers will take to the streets
between the hours of 11 a,m, and
9 p.m, to sell tags to the public
to raise funds for medical aid
for the children of Vietnam,

A press release issued by Miss
Alice Clarke, publicity chairman
of the Children of Vietnam Tag
Day Committee, said:

‘‘What do a trade unionist, a
teacher, a lady organizing a chil-
dren’s folk dance concert, adoc-
tor, a member of the St, Vin-
cent de Paul Society, a house-
wife and a secretary, a minister,
a teenager and a senior citizen,

a priest, all have in common?

“The answer — a public com-
mitment to work toward the cause

And this “Thought’’ we are daily
informed is the “sunshine” in our
lives, the ‘‘beacon light” on the
path we must travel, the “helms-
man” on the waterlogged craft
we try to steer out of the trea-
cherous shoals of capitalism, the
‘tinspiration” for everthing we
aspire to be and do, from bar-
bering to growing potatoes,

_ It just doesn’t seem real, but
it is -- to millions of young
Chinese, intensely real, And all
in one little ‘‘Red Book’’, scarce-
ly larger than the IWW little
Red Song Book of 50-years ago
with its inspiring hymns of work-
ing-class struggle, Only Mao’s
Thoughts are seemingly project-
ed as a short cut to the real
thing; a catcehism for socialism,
easy to read, easy to digest, not
only a short cut to a proletari-
an Utopia, but the shortest on
record,

In the Canadian Far Eastern
Newsletter No, 196 we note the
following: “This cultural revolu-
tion has its impact, Mao Tse-
tung’s thought has creatively en-
riched Marxism-Leninism, It is
a fact that increasing millions in
the rest of the world, as well as
hundreds of millions of working
people in China, use Mao Tse-
tung’s thinking as their weapon
in considering all questions, in
criticizing and repudiating the
old order, in struggling and mak-

of brotherhood, All these people
and more have responded to the
appeal for assistance ofthe Chil-
dren of Vietnam Tag Day Com-
mittee,

‘‘They come from many walks
of life, and creeds and beliefs —
from the ranks of young and
old and in between, It is a mighty
manifestation of the concern of
dedicated citizens for those who
suffer — regardless of their
place of birth or race or creed,

**More tag salesmen are still
needed for the big day, Those
who have been hesitant about
coming forward can gain encour=-
agement from the citizens al-
ready committed, This is a hu-
manitarian and spiritual work in
which people from every walk of
life can participate in whole-
heartedly.”

That estimation we question
very much, without attempting
to devaluate the worth of little
“Red”, green or other colored
books,

Some years ago a group Of so-
called Communist intellectuals
in the USA got out a little Green
Book, a sort of dictionary aid
to the uninitiated into the mean-
ing of semantics current inCom-
munist circles,
