and criminals. Therefore, every progressive and
moral proletarian heart must be emotionaly dis
turbed because of this dreadful and evil act per-
petrated with cruelty brutality, and injustice. On
the other hand, the arrest and execution Of the
Czechosovak Jews would advance Communist world
conquest; it would please the Arabs; it would set
the stage for Communist influence in the Near East
which we see coming to fruition today.
~ It was an act in the interest Of world conquest

fore, they were guilty Therefore, they were crimi
nails. Therefore, the evidence against them was
true. Therefore every progressive heart must feel
sense Of citation and rejoicing that justice tri-
umphed with their death.
. Mr.. Well think the theory behind that is ex-
eellent But the evidence we have today seems to
point to the fact that the Communists wanted the
Rosenbergs executed, as matter Of fact because
they felt the Rosenbergs alive might be witnesses
against the Communist apparatus. That bears out
the impression OF hypocrisy
DIR. Schwarz. There is nothing inconsistent in
their moral framework Of believing all that and
wanting them executed at the same time. There is
nothing inconsistent in that because each individual
Is merely an expendable animal and If their dying is
going to help the Communist cause, then it is good
act. They could want them executed and yet feel
compassion for them and anger against their brutal
executonerS. We have established that inherent
within Communist theology and morality there is
program of murder, treachery, and brutality and
that the theory of communism translates these acts
into highly moral acts The theory Of communism de.
stroys every basic moral value which civilization,
and particularly Christian civilization, is built.
Mr.. Arens. Doctor, is there some kind Of analogy
that could be made between what you are saying
and what your experience must have been as sur
geon, namely, that surgeon, as he undertakes to
eliminate cancerous cell or organism OF the body,
cuts into noncancerous material ana does II Ieehng
he is doing so on perfectly moral grounds because ne
is trying to save life? Is that the approach that
YOU are saying that Communists have toward the
ultimate goal of redemption of the world by commu.
nism that they can take lives innocent lives because
the overall objective is one OF saving humanity!
- DIR. Schwarz. The tragedy Of communism Is not
simply that it murders. but 1t transforms murder
into moral and righteous act. When person does
evil and he is conscious he is doing evil you have
basis Of approach; but when evil becomes good,
you have no starting point, you have nothing about
which to argue. The great evil rests in the philo-
sophie basic concepts Of communism when It rejects
God when il materalizes and bestializes man. and
when it denies the inherent dignity and value Of
human personality and individuality. Upon that
ruthless amoral, materialistic basis 1t builds an
edifice which destroys evermOre every civilized,
moral, ethical, and spiritual value.
Mr.. Arens Before we get to the second side Of
your coin, you have told US, first of ALL on the basis
Of your background experience and study the deoo-
gy and morality Of communism, and you propose to
tell us, as understand it, how to meet and defeat
this ideology Of communism
Before we get to the second side Of the coin,
could / ask you question or two, II you please,
Doctor?
How do you account for the fact that this
theology of communism, which Is contrary to all
that you and as Christians-and say II In the
broadest term-people who believe in God and be.
ieve in spiritual values how do you account for the
fact that this force called communism, evil as it is,
unappealing it is to those with any sense in them
Of goodness, is sweeping across the world with
speed that is hitherto unknown in the history Of the
world, that it now encompasses about Onethird of
the population of the world from start Of about
30 years ago! How do you account for that?
DR.. Schwartz First, the reason is their recruit
ment of the student intellectual who is susceptible
to the appeals Of communism by reason Of his edu
cational conditioning. He accepts that materalist
foundation on which Communist theology and mo-
rality is built. He is recruited in terms Of his ideO-
logical pride. He is intelligent than the aver
age man, and he sees the opportunity to mold man
and create history, whereas the dull, brutal driven
herd sweeps Of the forces that create II
and drive 1t forward. He is one of the elite, the
chosen, and the intellectual arstOcracy In cOmbi.
nation with this intellectual pride, the religious ma
ture Of demands purpose in life; they find in
this vision Of human regeneration religious refuge
for their Goddess hearts
Second, there is their superb organization. The
origin Of effective communism came with totalitarian
organization, the formation Of the Bolshevk seq
A ment of the Russian Democratic Labor Party under
Lenin. Communism illustrates the truth that the
disciplined, dedicated scientific, intelligent, and
ganjzed few will be able to exploit and direct deceive
and conquer the selfish undiscplined, disorganized
multitudes. Communism is advancing in terms Of
its recruitment of students the organization Of these
