It Tive these traitors from Mh office, and reduce them to a po- sition where suicide will be the only salvation for their crimes against their own people, their own society, their own civiliza- tion.” Its “Whitemen awake” call screams at “Commissar Eisen- hower” for using troops at Lit- tle Rock and “Commissar Ken- nedy” for sending troops to Ox- ford, Miss. The U.S. “Soviet style Supreme Court” is against “the white people” and is con- trolled by ‘White Jews” says the pamphlet. And “Jewish Communism” is the source of all our evils! Another series of demands calls for an official policy of segregation so _ fantastically crazy as to make even South African apartheid look liberal by comparison. Negroes, Jews, Puerto Rican and other ‘“non- white” people would be barred from engaging in entertainment activities or in professions, gov- ernment service, armed services DEATH! ‘to the Traitors It’s time for old-fashioned American Justice or in economic, social or poli- tical life. The Times headlined its sto- ry about St. Petersburg Minute- men on Oct. 29: “St. Petersburg Birchers Told to Arm Them- selves, Buy Guns for Children.” “Tf you are ever going to buy a gun, buy it now!” said the paragraph in the pamphlet ad- dressed to Birch Society mem- bers. If Goldwater is defeated, “we can expect Americans by the tens of thousands will flock to patriotic organizations,’ the appeal added, meaning Ultra- Rightist outfits. “The biggest danger comes from the fact that the Commu- nists expect this to happen and their sympathizers in our fed- eral government _may move quickly to pick up known pat- riots before they can get fully organized.” The story out of Cucamonga, Calif., fully. confirms the trend among at least some of the Rightists to take to arms, al- though Garland’s arms cache was hardly a secret in the com- munity. One neighbor of Garland said “it was all well known in the neighborhood that if the U.S. were ever attacked you - could arm yourself at Bill Gar- land’s place.” In addition to about 100 weapons, the raiders found In Garland’s barn incendiary bombs, gas bombs, smoke bombs, flares, blasting caps, thousands of rounds of ammu- nition, 30 bullet-proof vests and barrack bags with ammunition belts and survival kits. Con- federate flags adorned his walls. Garland was quoted as saying he’d sell his machine guns to “patriots” for $1.85 each “when the time is ripe.” Robert Bolivar De Pugh, who boasted before the election to the New York Times and on TV that his alleged 25,000 Minute- i a he OS ee ‘S. ultra-right launches yuns and terror program men all over the country were working everywhere for Gold- water, threw some light on the water, writes in the November issue of “On Target” that “the time is past when the American people might have saved them- selves by traditional political processes.” He called on Right- ists to join the “secret -under- ground army” of the Minute- men. De Pugh sees a “Communist takeover” in Washington with the aid of the Johnson adminis- tration. The post election “On Tar- get” urges all members on the far Right to drop recourse to the ballot as useless, adding: “And the weak-kneed con- servatives many will be shak- ing their heads sadly and say- ing ‘we simply must win in 1968.’"I hope the readers of this newsletter are not naive. We are not going to. have a free election in 1968.” Minutemen applicants are asked to state whether they’d be most effective in combat teams or in intelligence and es- pionage or in communications, weapons and medical service. What is the position of the Birchites in civic police depart- ments? The Dallas police were notorious for the rightist groups among them. How strong are the Birchites in other local, state and federal government service? These questions assume new urgency as Rightists in many places are openly shifting to use of arms against the United States. : The people can never go home! By JAMES ALDRIDGE — HE real beauty of 1917 was its historical purity. It was a terribly difficult and profound event, yet it was also a wonderfully simple and decisive one, and it has color- ed all our thinking about a change in society ever since, not only its import but its actual shape. Where many of us made our mistake during the last 30 or 40 years was in imagining that an exact copy of the event was inevitable in our own world. We know now that we were in- nocent in those days. Now, I suppose, we are more fiercely educated. Perhaps we are grow- ing up, perhaps our concept of 1917 is, after all, now a 47- year-old concept. Yet what has not changed is the truth of 1917 and the result of it. ot When you read John Reed’s Ten Days That Shook the World and realize just how much discussion was going on in Smolny at the time, it en- necessities hances the character of the re- volution enormously. It was Lenin’s skill that he gave the arguments and disagreements a direction. So it was not the arguments which brought forth the new world but the conclu- sions drawn from them. This has been the aim ever since: discussion on all levels, and a decision reached out of the dialectics of the differences. There are things we know, but there were times in the last 30 years when we all forgot them, usually under the pres- sure of some event or crisis which demanded loyalty in- stead of argument. Individuals have gone astray, principles have sometimes been lost in the of practice; but what has always emerged is the original power of the idea itself. What we watch with great interest now is the method of revolutionary development in a world which does not permit simple decisions any more. The theory that no man is free until all are free still holds, and in this regard all our in- nocent children will be more fiercely educated before they become’ adults. There is no corner of the world that is, in fact, safe while so much of it is unsafe. War is out of the question. But so, in the long run, is poverty, explo- itation and misery. We are con- tinually working to eliminate war, SO we must work in paral- lel to remove the causes of war which remain basically the same — the concentration and rapa- ciousness of property systems. * * * There is an expression used in the British House of Com- mons to signify the end of the day’s business. Somebody calls out: “Who goes home?” and the session ends and the Mem- bers leave their business of de- bate and hurry out to their cars to get home for a late supper. This is the privilege of a Member of Parliament, he can leave the problems of the world and go home. But the people can never go home, no matter where they are. They cannot walk out on their own affairs at the end of the day. To rise above our con- ditions is not to solve them, and to go home is merely a postponement of struggle un- til the next day. Nobody in Smolny said, “Who goes home?” and as long as that condition continues we know that we are dealing with our own affairs and not leav- ing it to others or resting on our laurels. We cannot go home until the world itself is ready for that respite, and then it won’t mat- ter. When we have won who will be tired then?
