Anti-Goldwater feeling

By JACK STACHEL

Governor William Scranton of
Pennsylvania is now an active
candidate for the Republican
party nomination for president, .,

There is little doubt that the
great majority of GOP voters
oppose Goldwater and would wel-
come a program and a candidate
that would reflect their thinking
and inclination on both foreign
and domestic policy, It is this
sentiment which has in fact
brought on the pelased Scranton
Seore au

Scranton declared his loyalty
to the GOP and his support to
any candidate that it would nom-
inate, including Goldwater, (He
said) all Republican candidates
are agreed upon the main three
questions facing the nation and
the differences are only on im-
plementation,

These three questions, he said,
were a strong foreign policy
against the Communists and
others, a strong fiscal policy to
promote free enterprise, and
stronger state and local govern-
ments,

*

These generalities can mean
many things, Under Goldwater a
stronger foreign policy means, as
he said, “low yield” nuclear
weapons in South Vietnam, Pro-
motion of free enterprise means
to Goldwater to let the poor
starve, And more reliance onthe
local government means no civil

‘rights laws,

Scranton would not go that far,
and we do not say that-the dif-
ference is unimportant,

We learned from Germany that
there was quite a difference be-
tween even the reactionary mili-
tary Gen, Von Hindenberg and
the Nazi Adolph Hitler,

But we also learned that Hin-
denberg, far from blocking Hit-
ler, helped him to power because
they both had a common platform

in the struggle against commun- -

ism,

The struggle within the Re-
publican party is a struggle be-
tween different monopoly inter-
ests to some degree, It is a
struggle for control of the GOP
and the government, which today
means directly the control of a
budget of some hundred billions
and indirectly the economy ofthe
entire nation,

It also reflects different ap-
proaches to the mounting diffi-
culties, Goldwater, representing
the most extreme position, which
looks to a resolution of the dif-
ficulties through policies and
methods that spell fascism and
war,

This is why the people cannot

‘be indifferent to this struggle,

Without placing any reliance
on a Scranton, mass reaction
against Goldwater by the people
as a whole, and among Republi-
can voters, can play asignificant
role,

What Scranton calls Gold-
water's “different implementa-
tion” is in fact Goldwater's re-
actionary, ultra- Right and fascist
and pro-war policy,

*

And it is also necessary to
underscore that while the Johnson
Administration represents a

“policy which looks towards the

solution of the pressing problems
in the interests of the class he
represents, capitalism and im-
perialism, it is of no small im-
portance that the Administration,
like that of his predecessor the
late President Kennedy, has taken
some measures, small as they
are, towards easing world ten-
sions,

We are not indifferent to the
fact that whatever the motive
there is:response and a focus on
some of the pressing questions
of need amongst the most needy
and an effort to secure advances
in civil rights for the Negro
people,

Since 1932 and especially after
the emergence of the New Deal,
masses ofthe organized workers,
the Negro people and other popu-
lar groups have operated through

the Democratic Party to one de-
gree or another through their own

organization and independent acq

tivity,

It is these masses, their aims,
their organizations which must
be taken heed of by the Demo-
cratic party leaders and which
makes possible quite often an
alternative through the two party
system,

But the masses of the working
people, Negro and white and the
other popular forces cannot
merely rely on the Democratic
Party or in this case the Johnson
Administration,

It is only to the extent that the
labor movement, the civil rights
movement, the peace forces, the
farmers, the youth, all demo-
cratic minded men and women
unite their strength and through
their organized independent ef-
forts influence the policies and
and the tactics of the Johnson
Administration that this Admin-
istration will reflect the people's
aims and aspirations,

Canadian women hi
war on S. Vietnam

In a letter to the President of
the United States, the Congress
of Canadian Women has express-
ed shock and horror at the U.S,
decision to wage total war against
the people of South Vietnam,

“It seems unbelievable,” the
letter states, “that a civilized
country of which you are the
supreme head should stand ex-
posed as the perpetrator of so
terrible a course of action, an
action that threatens the very
physical existence of whole
people who want nothing more
than to be left alone ....

*As women, we are particu-
larly mindful of the intense suf-
fering and misery of the women
of South Vietnam who are sending
repeated desperate calls to
women everywhere to speak out
and act on their behalf, to bring
an end to the long years of death
and destruction and grief their
people have suffered,

“We cannot think that the ma-
jority of the people of the USA,
particularly the women, can be
in favor of the illegal and in-
human action planned by your
government, We cannot believe
that you, Mr, President, can give
your blessing to this accursed

crime against humanity,”

The letter urges the president
to use his office to stop the war
which not only violates the ele-
mentary right of the peoples of
South-east Asia to survival, but

“threatens to engulf the
thermonuclear war,
