How The Communists
Want Americans
To Behave
By Fred G. Clark and Richard Stanton Himanoczy
I
Not even the most optimistic com
munist would seriously hope that their
armies could defeat the United States.
But in spite of that, they do believe
that they can defeat the United States.
This doesn’t seem to make sense
until we see how they expect to do it.
It is to be an inside job: we Ameri
cans are expected to voluntarily do the
things that will weaken us beyond the
point where we are able to resist.
Among these things are the follow
ing:
1. Become ashamed of being patriotic
and consider it uncouth to challenge
the patriotism of anyone.
2. Become tolerant of intellectuals
who sneer at the “unprogressiye”
American system and propose exciting
plans to “make it work”—plans that
seem to be new but are as old as the
history of political tyranny.
3. Continue to operate on an un
balanced budget; continue to spend
money we do not have; and thus con
tinue to cheapen the value of our
dollar.
4. Become a little ashamed of and
apologetic for individual financial suc
cess.
5. Pile up the income taxes and pen
alties on large incomes until there is
no longer any reward for hard work
or risk taking.
6. Borrow more money, as individ
uals, than we can conveniently pay
back; thus putting ourselves “under
the gun” of instalment payments and
forcing us to live continuously on the
brink of financial disaster.

As you looked at these objectives, did
they seem impossible?
Wouldn’t you say that most of them
have gotten a pretty good start?
It is slightly “corny” to be a patriot
today.
It is popular to attack traditional
American capitalism.
It is popular for government to con
tinue down the road of inflation.
It is considered bad taste in some
quarters to compare America’s stand
ard of living with those of “less fortu-

Card Of Thanks
We wish to extend our sincere ap
preciation to all neighbors and friends
for every kindness shown us at the
time of our bereavement in the death
of our husband and father, Henry Stultz.
We especially thank all those who sent
food, cards and flowers. May the Lord
bless each of you!

nate” (less industrious) nations.
It is popular to “soak the successful”
with 80 per cent and 90 per cent per
sonal income taxes.
It is popular to contract instalment
buying debt, even though the old things
would do until we had earned the
money and even though the last thing
American business needs and should
have is the “shot in the arm” that comes
from spending in advance of earning.
All in all, the Communist expecta
tions look far from hopeless.
However, this process of destroying
ourselves is a slow one; it has not gone
too far; and we still have time to slip
out of these traps before they close
upon us.
Let us pray that we do so.
