MS september, 1or the
first time in our Nations his
tory, our children entered
classrooms as secularized as
any classrooms in Russia.
With one small exception.
AS of this moment, it is still
legal to mention God in our
salute to the flag. But, ac-
cording to news stories, the
words under God" and Gin
God we trust" are next on
the list of those who are de-
termined to secularize or
"atheize" our society.
Secularization, as we are
about to discover, is pro-
greSSive. 1t is almost impos-
sible to confine it to one
area. 1t is like some Of our
dread diseases, once it starts
it spreads throughout the en-
tire system. This is made
clear by Christopher Dawson
in his book, Religion and
the Modern State" "Once
society is launched on the
path of secularization," he
states, sit cannot stop in the
halfway house of liberalism,
it must go on to the bitter
end, whether that end be
communism or some other
alternative type Of totali-
tartan seculariSm."

Compact, our oldest docu-
ment, when I'VE first colonie"

the years this glory and this

now come. if 1 may use a
popular phrase, to a "screech-
ing halt" in the Northern

Captive Audience

1t has been brought to my
attention that the Alexan-
dria Republican candidates
for the House of Delegates
engaged in electioneering at
the September meetings of
the Francis Hammond and
George Washington High
School Parent Teacher Asso-
Citations, Their brash action
did not have the permission
Of PTA officials. Further
more, 1t did not have the APP
proval of school officials,
whose policy it is to sanction
political activity on school
property only when special
permission has been granted
to use the school building for
a political meeting.
AS a PTA worker and
board member when my COL
lege-age children were stu
dents in the Alexandria pub
lie schools, I disapprove this
use of the PTA. The organiza-
TONS bylaws prohibit part
isan activity at any PTA
meeting. If my Republican
opponents had taken an ac-
tive part in the fine work Of
the PTA they would have
known of this prohibition.
And if they had taken a real
interest in the structure and
problems of Alexandria's
government they would have
understood and presumably
honored this proper policy Of
the school board.
The PTA was the back
bone of the save-our-schools
movement, as it has been Of
every movement promoting
the vital interests Of our
school children. Its use as a
captive audience for partisan
campaign ballyhoo is de-
structive Of Its non-partisan

of such rights, there has to
be a system of morality to
protect these rights, such as
the m oral commandment
Thou shalt not steal" BY
eliminating the rights of per-
sonal property, he also
eliminated the system of
morality. 1t is interesting to
contrast the thinking of Karl
Marx on the rights of private
property with that of John
Adams, who also saw a rela-
tionship between property
rights and morality. The
thinking of Karl Marx was
based on both his atheistic
and his communistic beliefs,
although to him these were
one and the same, as he
pointed out in these words:
Communism begins where
atheism begins" John Adams
was speaking from his deep
religious convictions when he
said: THE moment the idea
is admitted into society that
property is not as sacred as
the laws Of God, and that
there is not a force of law
and public justice to protect
it. anarchy and tyranny COM
mence.
The path of secularization
is a strange path for a Chris
tan nation to follow. It is
also a strange path for a
democratic nation to follow,
because it must eventually
lead to totalitarianism, which
in my generation we have
fought three wars to stop. 1t
is also a dangerous path for
us to follow, because it is
RuSsia's path, and we have
never Travelled it before. The
warning signs along the way
are clearly marked. One of
these warnings first appeared
in the anti-Communist paper,

Castro felt he had been
treated with contempt. He
spent most of his time at the
Cuban EN- bassy with his
shoes off, drinking beer and
talking about how the ad-
ministration had failed to
show any understanding. If,
say the South Americans, he
had been taken in and
puffed up and given a small
loan for tractors, he might
have been kept in line.
Emerged as Real Power
But this, with the benefit
of hindsight, is unlikely.
Guevara, without counting
Castro in, earlier had parti-
cipated in the organization of
a unist group that
would. when the propitious
moment came, take over. For
a time, sincere revolutionists
were at the head of the ma
tional bank and the depart
ment Of the interior. But by
late spring, the Guevara
forces had emerged as the
real power. Jail doors began
to clang and those who had
been exiles from Batista be-
came exiles again. The Eli
senhower administration be-
gan to make plans that cul-
minated in the failure at the
Bay of Pigs after John F.
Kennedy became President.
The Russians came. The
missiles were rushed in and
erected. And then they were
removed because of a Kenne-
dy ultimatum that, for a
brief while, had the world
very close to a nuclear war.
Cuba became more and more
an expensive Soviet toy.
Now, there are new ex-
penSes along the far-reach-
ing border between Red Chi
ma and Russia. Picking hints
at recovering Outer Mongolia
and other areas once Chi
nese. There will be less and
less for Castro's extended
bowl.
So the talk runs on and
on, but there is a growing
belief at the U. N. that early
1864 might be enough time
to work changes in Cuba,
especially if Guevara can, in
one way or another, be re-
moved.

FOCUS ON THE NEWS
The RESPONSE to Coups d'Etot
By CHARLES BARTLETT

This Government has been
obliged to fashion its re-
Spouse to the recent coups
d'etat In South America amid
q flood Of emotion that re-
fleets the Illustrations on
Latin affairs and obScures
the realities with which the
policy-makers must contend.
Much of the emotion has
overlooked the basic point
that the United States is
not omnipotent in the inter-
nal affairs Of these coun-
tries and must encourage
their stability without exert
ing a heavy-handed au-
thority that will feed the
Communist charge Of yam
kee imperialism"
1t Is one thing to regret,
as most officials did, the
eclipse Of a fragile demo-
cratic government in the
Dominican Republic and
another to propose, as SEN
ator Gruening, Democrat of
Alaska. did, that the United
States return the deposed
Dominican President, Juan
Bosch. to Santo Domingo by
warship.
Middle Course Sought
It is one thing to use the
weapons of aid and diplo-
macy to discourage the
emergence of military juntas
and another to refuse COM
pletely and forever to deal
with the military govern
ments after they have be-
come accomplished facts.
The administration has
had to seek a rational
course between fervent emo
tons on the left and right.
The line of the left is that
the President does not deal
severely enough with the
military insurgents to dis
courage their imitation. The
argument of the right is
that it will be disastrous to
ignore the capacity Of the
military to provide interim
stability in countries where
constitutional stability has
faltered.
Liberals maintain that the
officers are acting as agents
of the interests to avoid the
reforms that are essential to
the oD1ectlVeS OF the Alliance
for Progress and the future
of the continent. Conserva-
tives argue that they seize
power because they are re-
spending responsibly to the
danger that unstable civilian
governments will fall to
Communist subversion.
The heat of the debate
has tended to obscure the
necessity and virtue Of form
ing separate judgments on
each military coup in the
light of the circumstances
in which 1t takes place. 1t

Castro an "ExhOrter"

come under more resilient

say, with both admiration
and contempt in their voices,
is an exhorter. He has no
great convictions. He does
not like administration or
details. He likes power, the
feel of being able to sway
people, and to have admirers
around him.
II is Gueyara and another
tough one or so who provide

that Cuba would become an

The Castro revolution,
which took its own priests,

a good revolution until it was

betrayed and lost. Some of
the South Americans at the

and say it was lost by the Eli

Is possible, in the words Of

he'll in q basket with q
constitutional government" "
Few have sincerely bemoaned
the iuntas' requirements Of
a drunken President in
Ecuador and an unpromising
President in Guatemala. In
both places the new regimes
seem to be trying to do
the right thing.
Juntas in the Argentine
and Peru have accomplished
their commitments to hold
elections and restore consti-
tutional governments. No one
can say with certainty that
conditions in these countries
are now worse than they
would have been If the mill
tary had not taken power in
moments Of crisis.
The Dominican army's
overthrow of Bosch, whose
popularity was marginal, is
clearly less menscing to Latin
stability than the danger that
the military in Venezuela will
try to take power from Rom
ulo Betancourt. a resilient
politician who enjoys heavy
popular support. Betancourt
has become a symbol of the
new era and the administra-
ton would be willing to con-
template an Intervention in
his behalf that has not
seemed worth the risk in the
other places.
But intervention is no, GER
tain answer, because a poll
tician maintained in power
by foreign forces would hold
slim prospects of future
standing with his people. He
would have the fatal aspect
of a puppet.
Tough, Cautious
Short of this drastic step,
the administration has found
its most constructive re-
Spouse to the military coups
d'etat in a process of tough
and cautious negotiation. The
benefits of aid and recogni-
ton are bargained hard for
pledges by the military re-
gimes to avoid autocratic
abuses, pursue reforms, and
schedule elections.
After the elections are
held and the new civilian
governments are formed, as
in Peru and Argentina, the
Alliance for Progress has the
opportunity of assisting the
new leaders to develop and
expand their stature through
economic and social progress.
The lesson of the expe-
rience to date is that there
is no doctrinaire answer to
the problem of the military
coups. In South America as
in South Wet Nam. the
United States can encourage
democracy but cannot i'm
pose 1t.
