WHEN THE FIRST manned

' Remember now, it's just

"See." said the chicken,
"We're famous."
The pig grunted. "For you,"
he said, "a plate of ham and

it's the supreme sacrifice."

camp wanted to arbitrate differ-

the Soviet Union. Their offer was
respectfully declined by the Unit-

not even bother to explain its re-

posed by the Mistaken is insignifi
cant because their numbers are
small is to exhibit a dangerous
lack of understanding of how the
anti-freedom conspiracy operates.
Because the basic philosophy of
the conspirators is so opposite to
ours we sometimes have consider-
able difficulty in grasping it or
comprehending it.
Its initial concent is that there
is no CSod and there is no human
soul. From this atheistic concept
(lows the corollary that there are
I no spiritual values. Communism
asserts that man. his institutions
isuch as the family", his welfare
and his society are all determined
solely bv materialistic considera-
tions" This is a very useful philo-
sophy for a Mistaken minority
since it relieves the members of
that minority from any inhibitions
which ordinary morality or decen-
cy would impose on them.
From the very beginning - in the
words of Karl Marx's Communist
Manifesto — the communists were
committed to world conquest by
forcible means. They're also com-
mitted to a program c'i complete
and unmitigated ruthlessness. As
Lenin said, communists should ex-
pect as a matter course to em-
ploy "various staratgems. artific-
es." illegal methods, evasions and
subterfuge."
In the Mistaken orthodozy the
ends always justify the means. In
the world struggle for power over
decent human beings who want to !
be free this gives them a tremen-
dous advantage. To play by the1
rules. They have no rules.
Now, how does this work in the \
greatly threatened world of today? j
Let us start by looking at Lenin
w hen he lelt Zurich in 1920 to re- j
turn to the'Russia from which he |
had been exiled bv the Czarist vov-
ernment. The Kerensk.v govern-1
ment was in power. Lenin, who
aimed to overthrow the Kerensk.v |
government. whiskered to his I
friends before he le'it. "I have the
prospect of six adherents."
Just six A few months later he
was able to seize the entire govern-
ment of Russia.
In the year 1945 it was estimated
that the communists had four and
one-half million adherents, of
J'whom one and three-fourths mil-
i lion wei> outside the Soviet Union.
But at that time this conspiracy
of just four and one-half million
zealots held in thralldogi^|80 mil-
lion people. *\ ■
Today there are 33 mililon avow-
ed communists thrdtojriiout the
orld. And these 33 rryllion have
more than 900 million human be-
ings held in slavery --"40 per cent
f.V the ponulation of thq ^lobe. one-
fcrth of the land mass ofearth.
These 33 million adher^lits consti-
tute less than one per cent of those
they control. But it is estimated
that there are only about three mil-
lion hard-core, trained, disciplin-
ed. fanatic communists. It is these
who do the controlling, who parti-
cipate in the decisions, who call
the international and the internal
shcts.

"Science has raced far ahead of
law," says Charles S. Rhyne, an
earnest leader of the Amrican bar
who is devoting himseifl tirelessly
to trying to close the gap—in the
interests o'i world peace.
When you look about at the harsh
frictions of the cold war. the Com-
mittee on World Pace Through
Law, which Phyne heads in this
country, sounds like pretty idea-
listic stuff. But. under the Ameri-
can Bar Association's wing, he
plunges on.
In June, there'll be a continental
conference on the issue at San
Jose, Costa Rica. Others will take
place later in Tokyo, Africa and
Europe. The June meeting will fea-
ture 23 nations of the Western
Hemisphere.
What Rhyne and the co-operat-
ing lawyers of many countries
want to see is a great moderni-
zation and extension of law in the
international field. In many realms
o'i human endeavor, no adequate
rules seem to exist at all. In oth-
ers, they are cloudy and conflict-
ing!
In a shrunken world, the contacts
of businessmen around the globe
are steadily increasing. Vet no
common body of law exists to re-
gulate their dealings.
We're told constantly that invest-
ment by the developed nations in
projects to aid the underdevelop-
ed lands is essential to the latter's
progress without communism But
investors feel shaky when they
look in vain for legal safeguards
for their ventures.
The goal then is a body of world

It is tragic but trite that the Mis-
taken philosophy has been able to
achieve a hard core of dedicated
persons to a de°re which surpass-
es the best elYorts of the free
world. The commitment of every
communist to the doctrine of ab-
solute ruthlessness has made the >
actual number of communists in
a country almost immaterial. Time
and time again they have proved
that conquest of a softened demo-
cracy is possible with no more
than'a handful of tough, trained,
disciplined zealots.

We have seen what a small num-
ber of dedicated communists can
do to destroy the soul o't freedom
in nation after nation. This has
happened in our lifetime. This has
happened before our eyes. And this
is what we should remember when
the communists threat in the Unit-
