8 April 1966. Thought for the Week: "This is the strength
of Communism: the power to turn decent young men and women into fanatics
and martyrs for a wrong cause. And fanatics and martyrs for a wrong
cause will never be conquered except by fanatics and martyrs for a
right cause, who live not by N.A.A.F.I. alone, but by the rather uncomfortable
words, which proceed out of the mouth of God. |
VIETNAMESE SITUATION PERILOUSThere is little doubt that the present highly
charged situation in South Vietnam is the result of intrigue and subversion
by the International Communist movement operating through both sides
of the protagonists and aided by the international sensational press.
The truth is that even within the boundaries of the limited field of
action the war was being fought, Air Vice Marshall Ky and his troops
in conjunction with American and Australian forces, and advisers were
getting on top of the situation. Field Marshall Ky has demonstrated
the kind of strength which the communists fear. Not only has he shown
he is prepared to deal with the external foe but he has made it clear
that he can also deal with the internal enemy. Therefore it is essential
from the International Communist conspiracy's viewpoint that he be separated
from the support of American policy makers in Washington. Air Vice Marshall Ky now faces the same situation, which was faced by President Kiem when he was successfully challenging the Communists. The same international forces of misrepresentation now operate against him as did operate against General Macarthur when he proposed to clean the Communists right out of Korea. The West is having the wool pulled over their eyes once again and it will be interesting to see the performance of the American Ambassador, Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge who in the time of President Diem's assassination gave aid and succour to the Buddhists. |
BY-LINE ON CONSERVATIVE DEFEATThe heart of the British lion is sick. This is
obvious when one considers the performance of the Conservative Party
in opposition to a group of men who have made it clear that their main
loyalties do not lie with their country but with an international force
whose main objective is the elimination of Britain as a force in the
world. Keeping in mind that Mr. Edward Heath based his platform on the policy of abdicating British sovereignty to control centred in Europe, the following passage from Sir Roy Welensky's book, "Welensky's 4000 days puts the matter very clearly." Next day (February 15, 1962) Duncan Sandys (British
Minister for the Commonwealth) lunched with me. My other guests were
Julian Greenfield (a member of the Federal Cabinet of the Central African
Federation) and Lord Alport (British High Commissioner to the Federation).
After lunch we all went back to my room in the Federal Parliament building,
and were joined there by David Scott, the British Assistant High Commissioner,
and A.D.Evans, Federal Secretary for External Affairs). We talked about
Nyasaland. I said that with resolution and a firm exercise of authority
it was not difficult to keep Nyasaland peacefully in the Federation. This revelation of a British Cabinet Minister's
thinking affected two of us very strongly: I had a severe migraine that
night and Lord Alport, I learned long afterwards, went home and vomited."....page

CONSERVATIVES NEED CLEANSING FROM BOTTOMThe Rhodesian situation illustrates that conservatives the world over are shaky to say the least. In Australia the Liberal Party and the Country Party who represent the conservative element in Australia with their counterparts in New Zealand have sided with the international socialists in policies, which seek to destroy the only government of stability in the old Central African Federation. It is to be hoped that the following words of Sir Roy Welensky's will never fully apply to Anzacs, although the danger is great."In the early days we did not resent the challenge. We believed that what we were doing was right, and we understood its risks. A few years later, however, the Federation was destroyed, not by our avowed enemies but by those who called themselves our friends and said they believed in what we had built. They killed it slowly, in the dark and by stealth; and they wept hypocritical tears as they finished the deed. That is the measure of what happened to Britain between 1952 and 1959; what happened to us is almost of small account beside that tragedy." Pages 45 "Welensky's 4000 days."

ANOTHER COMMUNIST FRONTThe Youth Against Conscription organization, which has mushroomed into prominence since the campaign against the Government's Vietnam policy is an obvious Communist Front. Revelations in the House of Representatives last week revealed the military organisational techniques as are adopted by Communist organisations. Also the material printed by the organisation came from the Communist Party's printery, Coronation Press. In December last year, according to "News Weekly" of Wednesday March 30th, this organisation combined with the "Save Our Sons" committee, the Communist Party's Eureka Youth League, Vietnam Action Committee, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and other well known fronts in a "emergency rally" in Sydney. Its post office box in Sydney is the same as that used by yet another Communist front, the Australian Congress for International Co-operation and Disarmament. In Melboume, The Age on the 31st March
wrote up in the column News of the Day, Mr. Trevor Ashton the
secretary of the Youth Campaign Against Conscription. He was presented
in the column as an engaging sincere young idealist who should excite
our sympathy, No word of any affiliation with Communist organisations!

CHURCH SUBSIDISES COMMUNISMThe activities of the Rev. David Pope in the cause of various Communist Front organisations makes it clear that the Church of England is inadvertently subsidising activities which promote the policies of atheistic Communism. "Sanity" the monthly Journal of the Victorian Council for Nuclear Disarmament reports that the Rev. David Pope was an organiser of the demonstration in Melbourne on March 26th, which became a riot. The police had to issue an ultimatum to the Rev. Pope "either you clear it, or we'll clear it our way". The demonstration was against the Government's Vietnam policies. In the same journal appears an advertisement for a car crawl to Stawell at Easter, those going to assemble at St. Matthais's Church where the Vicar is the Rev. Pope. A "Christian" 'Service for Peace' will be held at St. Matthais' on April 10th. Additionally Mr. Pope will join that well-known "democrat" Dr. J. Cairns on Wednesday April 5 at Morwell in speaking against the Government's Vietnam policies. |
GOVERNMENT'S MISPLACED CHARITYThe statement by Senator Gorton the Acting Minister
for External Affairs on the Australian Government's offer of 200,000
dollars worth of rice as a gift to Indonesia is interesting. The Senator
said, It must represent the understatement of the year to use the word "odd". Some Australians are even liable to use the old-fashioned word "treasonable". This would also apply to the supply of basic materials to another totalitarian regime, Red China. While private enterprise continues to bolster the Government monopoly countries it serves only to conceal the deficiencies of this inefficient and inhuman ideology. Since, in order to become self reliant and prosperous these countries will have to revert finally to a system of private initiative it is a disservice to their peoples to postpone their disillusionment. When considering the morality of the Government's
action Senator Gorton should ponder on the policies adopted to Rhodesia
whose people fought that he may have the freedom to underwrite totalitarianism
in Indonesia and in China. |
