Honor, Truth, integrity Needed

What is the greatest danger
America faces?
This is a question frequently ask
ed and many people seem to think they
know the answer.
Communism" would probably be
the first danger that would come to
mind for many in any consideration
of the question = ever here in Missis-
sippi where we are not believed to
have any communists.
We agree that communism is a
danger and we are utterly opposed to
it = but we are a great deal more
concerned about pressure groups right
here at home who are trying to take
away our freedom just as surely as
the communists.
Rabbi Allan Swartzmann of the
Greenville Hebrew Union Congregation
told a Leland Lions Club audience re-
Gently that internal decay is the great
est danger facing America.
He compared the United States
today with ancient Rome described in
Gibbons '"The Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire"
The Rabbi warned: "Our country
totters on the brink of internal decay.
Time is running out for us as we face
our would-be conquerors. We must rise
at this p%eri1ous hour and prevent the
necessity of another Edward Gibbon
writing a book The Decline and Fan
of the United States"
Five reasons were listed by Glib
bon for the fall of Rome. Rabbi
Swartzmann gave them and enuner-
ated similar weaknesses apparent in
American society today. Read them
and see if you do not agree:
1. Corruption Of Commerce. Bust
ness integrity has decayed when the
Better Business Bureau can report that
S. million is paid annually in brides
and the Bureau Of Internal Revenue
collects $2.5 million from tax cheaters.
2. Corruption Of civil service. The

Department. An inspection
was made of the facilities at
Mississippi Southern College
by the officers. Mr.. Cooper
stated that no final
statement can be made at
this time, however he was
safe in saying that the War
Department will not take
over Mississippi Southern.
There is no plan for that
event, it will not take place
and the college will continue
to serve boys and girls who
enroll at the college.
He also stated, there will
be no WAVE or WAAC
School on the campus, and
the Board Of Trustees nor the
Governor have any plans to
lease to the War Department
any part of facilities at the
college.
Summer school, which has
always been popular in the
college, will continue as in
the past.

ing at a Jackson civic club
recently, Capt. Slattery said:

to 27,096 in the 1860 census. So we
are lucky.
Many small counties which have
long enjoyed misrepresentation are
making organized efforts to defeat the
proposal Tuesday. Thus it becomes
highly important for those favoring it
to go to the polls and say so.
At the same time we do not see
how these small counties can rightly
claim they are being Disseminated
against. They will still hold over three
fifths of the votes in the state Senate
and almost three-fifths votes in the
House. 1t takes three-fifths approval
to pass revenue measures - and there
is where the smaller counties show
their power, although the larger coun-
ties pay far more in taxes.
If we had our FATHERS as the
little boy says, we'd like to see q man
datory reapportionment Of legislative
seats every ten years based upon popu-
~1ation, geography and identity Of in
terests with one body based pure
ly on population and the other on
geography and similar interests, bring

balances.

5. The failure of religion. "Reli-

This correlation of ancient and
modern times is apparent to every
thoughtful observer of the day and

How often we hear, "the end justi-
fies the Means" a principle, inciden-
tally, which is one of the basic tenets
of the communist doctrine.
But no end, regardless Of how de-
sirable, justifies the use Of dishonor-

We Shall Vote For" The Constitutional Amendment

Mississippi electors will ballot next
Tuesday. February 5, on a proposed
amendment to the Mississippi Consti-
tuition which would bring about a re-
ap~portionment of the seats in the state
legislature.
We urge all qualified voters go to
the polls and express their opinion.
Personally, we shall vote for the
amendment, although we are aware it
will not bring about a true apportion-
ment of the Legislature. We do be-
lieve it vastly superior to the first pro-
posal put forth by the Legislature which
was soundly and deservedly defeated
at the polls. And we regard it as pos
sibly the best plan the Legislature is
capable of producing at the present
time.
Kinds County legislators have
approved the proposal although the
county will fall short of getting the
representation it deserves. They have
issued a statement favoring the amend
ment.
Holmes County fares very well UNI
der the proposal although we do lose
one representative. This is in spite of
the fact that since 1910 we have de-
clined in population from nearly 10000

was the Red Army, not Red espionage
agents and dupes, which brought about
virtually all other Communist terri
torial gains. Internationally, it is not
true that every country in which Rus
STA sent troops has been lost forever.
Following World War ii, we forced
them out Of Iran.)
1t was at this point that Beard be-
gan repeating the same tired refrain
= that America is only a short period
away from an internal Sociahst-Com-
munist takeover. How often over the
past decades have we heard this, that
in 'three to five years" we will be
living in a Communist state unless we
"do something" Deadline after dead
line has passed, and we are still as far
away from communism as we were
when the chant began. The big indus
trial leaders saw in Teddy Roosevelt's
trust-busting the Bolshevik spectre;
some profess to see it today in the
minimum wage law and social security.
We do not.
The professional anti-Communlsts
quote each other as authorities. Thus
we have an unbroken circle, with one
verifying the "facts" = which are
rarely facts and often opinions = pre-
sented by another. This Beard did
again and again, from his assurances E
THAT the nation is within three years
to five years away from communism
to his assertion that at an unnamed
California college there are 1000 avow-
ed Communists = which would mean
that the bulk of the Communists known
to j. Edgar Hoover are all at that one
college.
Finally, Beard engaged in a little
outside interference in Washington
County's affairs, which we trust will
be ignored, when he suggested we
weren't sending representatives to
the legislature who meet his political
p~IeJuulCeS. IIlo CouiiCy, anu up 'hii
ing, is far better served by the indie
pendent men we send to Jackson than
it could ever be by the type of far
right-wing conformists Beard would
prefer. t5oflno@ 9h- q h-il1
Perhaps we should not take Fred
Beard so seriously. But in this day OF
extreme national peril, the attempts by
men of his stripe to pit neighbor
against neighbor, to have Orthodoxy
choke freedom of dissent" and "denun-
citation take the place of evidence" is
almost as great a danger IS the very
real threat of international commu-
nism they so grossly distort.
