OPPOSING COMMUNISM

Just what does it mean to say
that American policy aims at
"containment" of Russian Com
munist influence in the world to-
day? A recent survey by the
Council on Foreign Relations in
dictated t h i S policy is supported
by a large majority of the lead
ing citizens who form its commit
tees in "a cities. Yet common OBJ
servation indicates that the OBJ
jectives of the policy could and
should be more widely under
stood.
First of all, is the Unit e d
States engaged in a mission to
suppress communism? Over 80
per cent of Americans evidently

theories can be disproved and its
practice h a S shown cavernous

pand or lose power internally. If
that is true, then resistance to its
expansion amounts to resistance
to communism itself.
But t h e distinction earlier
stated is still important. 1t is ag-
gression that is the enemy. 1t is
the attack on other peoples lives
and liberties that constitutes a
ground for war. In the absence
of such a casus belli, a military
crusade or preventive W a r"
against certain people simply be-
cause they are Communists or
ruled by Communists would be-
come t e l. an aggression and
would forfeit moral stature.
Let's keep the sights on t h e
target. 1t is aggression that con-
stitutes the international crime.
Only system that can succeed
by'appealing to intellects n d
loyalties of free men deserves to
succeed. Only such a system can

view communism with relative
equanimity if its spread depended
on adoption by fire e consent of
self-governing peoples. Its propa-
ganda could be met on the ideol-
ogical level with assurance, as
indeed it must be.
But the nature and doctrine of
international communism is to
seize power by violence and to
exert minority rule through
dictatorship. In practice it has
spread by extending the power
of the Soviet Union, Ell h e r
through d irect expansion or
through satellites-in either case
by various forms of aggression
against free governments and the
liberties of free men.
1t is t h a t aggression, that
subjugation of free peoples by
violence, which constitutes COM
munism's crime in the world to-
day, just as it constituted the
crime of Nazi-Fascist totalitarian-
ism.
And it is that aggression, that
expansionism by force over I'M
willing victims, against which the
policy of ''containment' is le-
ultimately directed. This does
not mean a crusade or holy war

to extirpate communism from the
earth; eradication of mistaken
doctrines must come by OF h e r
means. But it d o e signify, in
the phrase of t h e Council on
Foreign Relations, that America
should TRY to Illustrate the ex-
pansion of Soviet power when
ever it shows signs of encroach-

of free nations.
T h t is something like the
distinction drawn by the Ameri-
can Government and by m
thoughtful citizens in d e al i n g
with communism as a domestic
problem. Majority judgment has
held ag q n S t attempting to
punish the mere holding of COM

it has supported heartily the en-

of illegal acts, as in the trial of l l
Communist leaders for conspiracy
against the government.
Most serious students of Stall

if it is deprived of u n al r CO.

Letter To The Editor
Durant, Mississippi
August 81, 1851

Mrs. Hazel Brannon Smith
! Editor, Holmes County
Dear Mrs Smith:
hope you have enough space
in your two papers this week to
publish this letter from a reader
and subscriber for many years.
First of all let me say that | am
one of the citizens of Holmes
county who appreciates more
than words can say your continu-
ing fight through the past several
years to try to make Durant and
Holmes county a better place to
live. l have watched your efforts
| with a great deal of interest and
have done what little bit | could
do in the same direction.
We need more editors like you
in our state and nation.
Now what l want to tell the
readers of your good papers is
this: If all the people of Holmes
county will examine the election
returns you will see where Mr..
Ross w. Rhyme, Jr., carried beat
two in a big way this is his
home beat where the people know
him best. They showed by their
vote what they think of him.
We know over here that Mr..
Rhyme was the one candidate the
large number of bootleggers and
other lawless citizens we have
didn't want in the second pri-
mary. Now that he is in the sec
ond primary we also know they
are doing everything possible a.
gainst him.
My plea to the people of Holm
es county is ismplv this: We
people in beat two desperately
need the help of all right-think-
ing Christian citizens throughout
the county. Our communities all
up and down Highway 81 have
more than their share of so-called
honky tonks, roadhouses and what
have you. We know that women
of questionable character stay in
some of these places. Almost
averv evil YOU can IMAGINE pre-
walls in these places. Conditions
have become SO bad and there are
SO manv people coming in here
from outside our county that we
hardly know it any more.
We feel like if we don't get a
sheriff in office that will run
thes epeople out of our county
that we are totally lost. Manv
persons here feel that our town
is not a good town in which to
bring up a family anymore -
and I am frank to say that I am
thankful that my children are all
grown and on their own.
/ do not want this letter to be
taken as a reflection on any
| other candidate in the sheriff's
race, either in the first or Sec
lon6 r"imarv. It is just that we
KNOW Mr.. Rhyme can do the
Job as sheriff which we people
of beat two need SO badly - and I
want to appeal to ALL of the
people of Holmes county to help
rs over here. | am praying that
the people of Holmes county will
forget about which side of hte
county a man happens to come
from and vote for a man that we
can get some relief from.
/, We just simply can't afford to
take a chance on a man unless we
I, KNOW what he can and will do.
Respectfully yours,
l.. c. NJ.
P. S. You may use my name on
! this letter if required. If not re-
| quired you may d oas you like.
