The Birch Society Blue Book Revisited

the end of the war, during time of transi-
ton 1t began with the drive that was aimed
at discrediting the leaders of all groups repre-
senting large numbers of people who were
working for social gains.
The goal was to cripple the leadership and
scatter the membership.
The drive was aimed at labor, liberal farm
organizations, co-operatives, church organi-
zations educational groups any organization
that took stand in behalf of social welfare
legislation.
By 1861 the founder WEIGH, was able to
say the John Birch Society had in two years
reached growth "that many groups have
been unable to attain in decade, or in a
lifetime. zip
The candy corporal reveals great deal in
the Blue Book of the intent of the conserva-
tives in this country if only in a negative man
ner The constructive and positive program
that is mentioned is never revealed.
However, that there is something more than
the fight against Communism is evident in
the statement, :" even warding off Com
munist slavery and reversing the socialist
trend is only half the battle. .. the
promise of what we can build supplies more
motivation than the terror of what we must
destroy :" (p. 1850
Other than the promise" no program is
put forth. The over-simplification of the flu
ture of America after the reversal and "de-
struction" can not have been unintentional
The forces the right-wingers are fighting
can be found and identified in the Blue Book;
their tactics are we'll laid out and review
brings into focus the program of the rightists
over some II years; laid bare for all to see
it isn't pleasant to contemplate but it must
be faced.
For whatever value it may be to the many
people who ask about what the John Birch
Society is and what it stands for we have done
this survey of the Blue Book which we will
present a series.
We wish to point out that the emphasis in
these excerpts is ours.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1963-06-14
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

The founder of the John Birch Society,
Boston candymaker Robert Welch, said in
the introduction to the fourth printing (1961)
of the Society manual, THE BLUE BOOK:
"The Blue Book will serve to give any
really interested person clear under
standing of what we are trying to do
and how and why in this huge under
taking for which we are now receiving
so much help and encouragement
(FOotnote iv)
The John Birch Society has been called the
common denominator'' of the radical right
by u. S. Senator Gale MCGEE of Wyoming
who has been chosen as one of their targets
in the 1864 elections; Robert WEIGH stated
in 1868 that there were "some 700 known
groups in the right wing orbit, fighting Com
munism (p 115), and in the footnote to the
4th printing he took note of some jealousies
that existed in right-wing ranks but pledged
continued support to every individual and
every group that we have believed to be hon.
estly opposing the collectivist advance -
Vic Overcast, co-ordinator for the John
Birch Society for Montana, Wyoming and
Idaho, said of two of these organizations:
"They indoctrinate 'em to the point where
| can take 'em over.
The political phenomena of the John Birch
Society into being in December, 1868,
with the blessings of IL influential and very
busy men" (p. u. Before the early spring
of 1861 the Society moved along in the shad-
ows, working underground, gaining strength
and making inroads on national policy.
In the first three months of 1861 news
papers began to take notice of the group as
it spread out for membership. The conserva-
tive columnist, the late George Sokolsky, took
credit for being the first to bring the John
Birch Society to national attention. The only
publicity of record previous to the Sokolsky
column appeared in a series of articles in mid
summer of 1860 in the CHICAGO DAILY
NEWS.
Robert Welch envisioned the John Birch

Society enduring for hundred wears and
'the beginning of a new chapter in his
tory; and would usher in new age that
is coming to BIRTH, because 'for the last so
years our age has been a dream that was
dying. Up. 144)
By 1861, three years from the time the or
ganization was founded, WEIGH could say
their growth in strength, especially in pro-
portion to our numbers, has been far above
our most hopeful anticipations'', and "of
course our growth has just begun.
Early reaction to the Society was varied.
Some thought it was SO incompatible with
American theology as to be ridiculous and
unworthy of mention; attempts were made
to laugh it off the place; endless material
was printed about it both favorably and I'M
favorably; since early 1861 no political con-
versation has been without reference to it.
Few people find anything laughable about
the radical right any more; no one any longer
discredits it as political force.
Whether the movement gains it's strength
from the monolithic structure of the common
denominator', the John Birch Society," or yet
remains hodge-podge of front and indie
pendent organizations estimated at thou
sand or more, one thing is evident and that
is the truth of the point made by Welch in
the Blue Book at page rs in which he says
g. every effort we undertake, every bat
tie we fight even if we lose it 4. and
every sacrifice we make is cumulative !"
In the dawn of another presidential cam
paign, and five years after the Society was
founded we face the cumulative" effects of
the ascendency of the radical right which
dates back to the first layers of Qualification
laid down in 1947 with the advent of Nc
earthly.
More information is being asked for about
the activities of the radical right with the
increasing evidence of the inroads they have
made on the American political scene. In
NJ Montana they can boast of elected and ap-
pointed officials from their ranks.
But it began long time ago. 1t began at

Is the John Birch Society a
Revolution or a Religion?

The BLUE BOOK says it is neither, 'yet
are BOTH; and explains that revolutions
begin at the top and religions begin at the
bottom. (p. 1867
"Yet determination to overthrow en-
trenched tyranny is the very stuff of which
revolutions made" (p 169) gs
"If I were the man on the white horse on
side of this war, which is still political
and educational rather than military :"
Up. 176) (Robert Welch Founder)
'Let's win that battle by alertness by determ-
nation, by courage, by energzing realization of
the danger, if we can; but let's win it with
our lives if the time comes when must. (p
39) and
"As He died to make holy let die to
make free" written to inspire
to fight against far less extensive slavery of
their fellow men,
.. we would put our weight into the
political scales in this country just as fast
and far as we could. For unless even
tually, and in time, reverse by political action
the gradual surrender of the United States
to Communism, the ultimate alternative of
reversal by military uprising is fearful to
contemplate. (p. 110)
''Whos going to die for XYZ Association
Blank Committee We are fast coming to point,
gentlemen, where we've got to offer something
that people willing to die for :" Up. 116)
The reference that the John Birch Society
would be that Something.
He calls for a faith :" . SO deep that it

What Type Of Government?

A republican form of government or of
organization has many attractions and ad-
vantages, under certain favorable conditions.
But under less happy circumstances lends it.
self too readily to infiltration, distortion and
disruption. And democracy, of course, in gov
eminent organization, as the Greeks and
Romans both found out, and as | believe
every man in this room clearly recognizes
democracy is merely deceptive phrase, a
weapon of demagoguery, and a perennial
fraud" (p. 159)
"Less government and responsibility
mean less government of every kind, federal,
state municipal; and more true responsibility,
not only on the part of individuals but on the
part of such reduced governmental units
necessarily permitted to exist (p. 1881
'9The principle is simple enough for all to under
stand. The direction signs leading to the goal
expressed are clear enough for nobody to mis-
judge them -. =" Up. 1879 So
S"For we must try to make it a convincing
political standard and an accepted goal on
the part of not only our own dedicated fol-
lowers, who go all the way with prin-
ciples and our ideals, of which this is only a
