As | See It


The administration of Roosevelt marked the beginning of
minority groups developing into political organizations over
the nation, using threats and promises until they became very
potent in national affairs.
The labor unions were among the first to come to the fore.
They chose a leader and formed a front that was intended to
crush any who differed with them on matters of control of
industry, wages, etc. no matter how unfair to the owners of
those industries.
Then came the NAAcP, SUI ported by a minority of the
Negro race and aforementioned whites using the Supreme Court
as an implement with which to break down decisions which
have stood for decades.
Many other organizations followed suit and became inhuen-
who have received no consideration and r "the whipping boy"
OF the nation? Every time there is a chance to belttle and
nurniliate US, Washington utlizes the opportunity.
Our present situation calls for thought and action. What
will we do to preserve the integrity of the race in the South
land, and regiment ourselves, as a unit, to oppose the powers
of this administration, protecting ourselves from federal brutali-
tv? Make no mistake: they would peon us to the anti-whites
if we do not now regiment ourselves and show a solid front.
We cannot do it by supporting those now in power, acting
as sycophants and groveling for such crumbs as they would
throw u.s.
There are some SO million whites south of the MasonDixon
line and only 10 million Negroes all over the nation. Will we
let them outorganze us?
A full and determined unit can ensure respect but a divided
South will get us axactly nowhere and we will be treated in the
future as we have been treated in the past.
We are beginning a very fantastic four years and our prob
lem will be to survive and develop a leader who will help us
save the nation = if we have any nation left to save.
Will we Of the Southland continue to support the empty
emblem that is called the. Democratic ticket, which is now the
banner of the Kennedys, the Humphreys and others who would
destroy the South, or will we regiment ourselves and have as
our herald. one of principle and national betterment? Will we,
with so million whites. lie dormant and permit the peoning of
our people to an inferior race and a nongrelization of our whites
into a black population which will have no pride of ancestry or
hope for the future generations?
The banner Of the northern scum who now control the desti-
nes of our former Democratic party, must go down, no
matter what the cost. = ~@- :
The tree Of liberty needs to be nourished at times with the
blood OF patriots that it might continue to live.

Brave Men Choose
Moral Re-Armoment
BY DR.. FRANK N. D. BUCHANAN tent
Or The Occasion OF His S3rd Birthday And The Opening Of
The Moral Re- Armament World Assembly in caux. Switzerland

Forty years ago this month there came
to Oxford a man who had some knowledge
of life, some insight into the ways of East
and West, who had spent days with Gandhi
IN India and Sun Yat-sen in China. In what
is now Kerala he met an English Bishop
who said, You must go to Oxford. They
need the experience you have found"
During those forty years, the conviction
he brought to Oxford has been a live issue,
rousing men and nations through those who
have chosen or rejected his challenge.
1t was an Oxford man, a Member of
Parliament, who had been Parliamentary
Private Secretary to Mr.. Macmillan, a man
who had a key part in the Cyprus settle
ment, who this week spoke up for this con-
viction in public debate. A week before, the
head OF a College spoke boldly of it in in
Producing that great African film Freedom,
to an Oxford audience. These men, and many
others, are in the line of those who in Bri-
tains history have br ought integrity into
national life by their decision. The title of
this speech, Brave Men Choose, is taken
from a book by an Oxford man on this very
theme, that brave men turn the course of
history.

The Only Revolution That Matters

In East London, in the cradle of the Bri-
fish labour movement where Moral Re-Arma-
ment was launched, there were also brave
men who chose. There was Tod Sloan, Keir
Hardie's fellow fighter from the docks. He
wrote, Chaos cannot obtain if we work, live
and practice Moral Re -Armament. 1t is really
laughing, living, loving obedient willingness
to restore God to leadership. This to me is
of human nature-and it does happen"
There was Ben Tillett, pioneer of the
lockers unions across the world. From his
death bed he sent this word, "Tell Frank
Buchanan to go on fighting. You have a great
international movement. Use it. 1t is the hope
of tomorrow. 1t will bring sanity back to the
world"
The Earl of Athlone, who first met this
message in 1929 when he was Governor
General of South Africa, speaking in a radio
broadcast to the British Commonwealth in the
early days of the war, said: "The call for
Moral Re-Armamen has encircled the world,
and become a source of fresh hope to millions
of men and women. Heads of States, national,
civic and industrial leaders of all classes,
creeds and parties have welcomed it as the
cure for that deep disease of the spirit from
which civilization in suffering.
Moral Re-Armament stands for a change
of heart for that new spirit which must ami
mate all human relationships. 1t calls on us

The Cause Is Moral

One such man in Oxford was Professor
Streeter. The message rang a clarion call to
this great scholar. 1t challenged him. 1t touch
ed him. In Oxford Town Hall, before many
members of the University. he said, Il have
been watching this work with what diplomat
lists call benevolent ne utrality." Tonight
have decided. During these last years / have
felt the world situation becoming more full
OF depression, more full of despair. There is
a great deal of goodwill, but there is not
enough of it to solve our tremendous prob
lens - war, class-war and economic break
down" Later he said, Modern civilization
can only be saved by a moral awakening.
1t can happen in Britain. 1t will happen #
those who lead Britain learn to find in God
their inspiration and direction. And Britain
thus led would save the world"
81 have decided" There is the key.
Eleven distinguished members of senior
Oxford paved the way for DR.. Streeters de-
cision, among theme the Master of Balliol,
the Master of University College, and others
who later became head of Colleges. They
stood for justice and fair play for this mes
sage. 1t captured a wave of men in Oxford.
Oxford became a voice to the world of a
revolutionary faith.
1t was another great Oxford man, the
late Marquis of Salisbury, who speaking in
the House of Lords said, "The cause of the
worlds state is not economic. The cause is
moral" He echoed DR.. Streeters conviction
when he said, eff l may use a phrase which
IS common IN a great movement taking place
at this moment in this country and elsewhere,
what we want are God-guided personalities,
to make God-guided nationalities, to make a
new world. All other ideas of economic ad-
justment are too small really to touch the
centre of the evil"
He, too, decided; and to his home in
vited this man to meet with the leaders of
British life to see how they could unitedly
give a moral and spiritual leadership to a
world on the brink of collapse. Under the
Hatfield trees he walked with friends old and
new, among them Lord Lytton, who was later
to say that that walk had left an indelible
mark on his life.
