"Where Are You Going, My Little One?"
THE WEAPON OF FEAR
By Charles V. Stanton
Use of fear as a psychological weapon for control of vast
millions of the people of the world provides an interesting
study.
Totalitarian governments use the element of fear to keep
minorities in power. The police state has terrorism as its
principal weapon. The same psychology has been used by our
own government. We were told we had nothing to fear
except fear itself and then one artificial crisis after another
kept us scared and jittery.
Cold wars and battles of nerves have kept the world up
set for many years. Fear is with us constantly. But fear is
used also in many ways to direct, control and influence people
in their everyday lives.
Power Of Labor Built On Fear
One of the best examples of use of fear in controlling
the lives of people is to be found in the country's labor strife.
Fear is used to bind men together into their various
unions and guilds economic fear, fear of personal position,
fear of bodily harm. Intimidation is used against employers.
Business and industry are placed in constant fear of financial
losses.
Labor unions and guilds were established originally to
improve craftsmanship. Workmen had pride in their skill.
But because many employers exploited their workers,
labor unions became protective organizations.
They had a long, uphill battle in overcoming greed and
inhumanity, but they succeeded in raising the country's work
ing standards and improving the lot of the laborer.
Surrender Of Liberty Dangerous
To accomplish their purpose, labor unions were forced
to obtain surrender from their members of certain of their
personal liberties. Workmen thereby became subservient
to the dictates of their labor bosses. People are told that
labor unions are democratic. This may be true in few rare
cases, but the continual existence of powerful labor czars
in many departments of the labor organization make it
obvious that the element of democracy is decidedly limited.
Our national Declaration of Independence is predicated
upon the statement that governments derive their powers
from the consent of the governed. But people can give their
consent to be governed by dictators. The individual may be
asked only a small surrender of his liberty, but when all
these concessions are accumulated they result in the creation
of vast power. When too much power is placed in the hands
of too few people, dictatorship results, and the consent of
the governed is no longer needed. Consent can be obtained
by using fear as a weapon. The workmen fears not to join
the union. He fears the resultant action if he quits the union.
He is afraid not to strike when ordered to do so because he
will incur the wrath of the union an,d lose his union benefits.
He fears to associate with one who has disobeyed union
dictates. He enslaves himself to the orders of the bosses.
With the weapon of fear to back his demands, the labor
czar accumulates huge "war chests" through assessments
upon his unions and uses these funds to further his program
of intimidation on business and industry and even the work
man himself.
Are We Headed For Regimentation
Where is the current trend leading us? Are we headed
for regimentation and dictatorship?
When millions of men and women are organized into
separata groups, ench headed by a ruthless, power-hungry
dictator, what will happen when some super-dictator comes
upon the scene and succeeds in bringing the now separate
and often rival or competitive ground under his leadership?
Many older men can remember when workmen had an
intense pride in their crafts. Thev took pride in thpir Individ
ual skills. They tried to give capacity production. They were
loyal to their employers.
Today's young worker, who has known nothing but the
inflated -wages of our postwar period, is being trained in
loyalty to nothing but his union that profits are evil, that
big business is bad because it is big, that as little work as
possible is to be done for as much money as possible, that
the employer who refuses to surrender all his rights to the will
of labor is to be broken upon the rack of economic pressure,
and that those who gaze with sympathy upon him are to
be threatened, intimidated and punished.
And so the club of fear is used today in our political,
economic and industrial life to control hundreds of millions
of cowering subjects.

Truman Asserts
Determination To
Win War In Korea
WASHINGTON, July 14 tP
President Truman said today he :s
considering mobilizing more men
and money behind the Korean war
effort He declared he will take
any steps necessary to bring it to
successful conclusion.
In a mood of confidence and de
termination. Mr. Truman told a
news conference the United States
will hold on in Korea.
He said we never have had the
tar licked out of ui and it won't
happen this time.
Under questioning, the President
said that among the things relat
ing to the Korean emergency under
consideration for proper action at
the proper time are these:
Calling in reserves, specialists
and the national guard.
Asking Congress for more
money for military purposes in the
near future. '
Mobilization of manpower in gen
eral. Reports both to the people and to
Congress on the Korean situation.
Mr. Truman said he hasn't chan
ged the opinion he expressed last
week that conditions in Korea are
hooeful.
He went on to say that we'll
be able to retain a foothold i n
Korea, one as far north as the
28th parallel.
Asked whether that meant there
would be no "police action" north
of that line. Mr. Truman said that
decision would be made when it
becomes necessary.
The President says he still calls
the American fighting in Korea a
police action.
On the subject of taxes, the
chief executive referred all ques
tions td the statement Secretary
of the Treasury Snyder made pre
viously. He said he approved the
statement.
Snyder said it would not be pru
dent to cut any taxes now.
Mr. Truman said he has no tax
plans going beyond that state-ment.

Of special Interest to Sunday
school teachers, or to anyone who
has the privilege and pleasure of
telling stories to tne younger gen
eration, is a recent article reprint
ed from The National Wool Grower
tn the June issue of the Reader's
Digest: "The Shepherd's Psalm."
Probably you are familiar with
"Our Syrian Guest," that lovely
little booklet written around the
Twenty-Third Psalm? This is on
the same order, only It is the
thoughts of a Basque sheepherder
whose forbears were also sheep
herders. "Despite a 30-year ab
sence from his homeland, D' Alfon
so is still full of the legends, the
mysteries, the religious fervcr of
his native hills . . . There on the
Nevada desert," says James K.
Wallace, "I learned the shepherd's
literal interpretation of this beau
tiful poem."
And then, sentence by sentence,
the Basque explains: "The daily
repetition of this poem fills the
sheepherder with reverence for his
calling. Our guild takes this poem
as our lodestone to guide us. It, is
our bulwark when the days are
hot and stormy; when the nights
are dark; when wild animals sur
round our hands . . . whether to
day or 6.000 years ago. . ."
The Shepherd's Psalm is to most
children so interwoven in their ear
ly days they cannot recall learn
ing it. and oh so precious to us
all! When our boys were littio.
they loved to fetch their litv
chairs and sit expectantly in front
of me. whenever I prepared tfl
iron. Because there would be a
book propped open, something fa
miliar to us, at which 1 could
glance between strokes of the
iron. 1 never quoted the Bible
stories: 1 always read them, even
if I kr.iew them by heart, and as
I read, their sweet voices would
join in, as was our custom, with
any words they knew. Now, I nev
er iron without seeing there in
front of me two little chaps . . .
one of my most precious memories.
We need not be shepherds to j
find out how great "a bulwark
when the nights are dark" the
Twenty - Third and Ninety - First
Psalms can be! In sorrow's dark
night, and in grief's first sharp
agony, we learn to be grateful that
childhood's receptive thought was
stored by a loving granny with
such precious words so that when,
in an hour of need, we reach out
for comfort, strength and under
standing, such, precious promises
are there.
Divine Love, the Shepherd, an
swers our call.

Anyway,, there's no such thing
any more.
Now for the $64 question:
"How're we doin' in Korea?"
I'm inclined to think we're not
doing too badly. Remember, all
this fighting we're reading about
is NORTH of the defense line we've
chosen. It is what the military peo
ple call a "delaying action." These
boys the teletype has been telling
about are selling their lives (if
they have to) to buy time in which
to ot together enough men and
enough guns and enough of every
thing else it takes to stop the com
mies at the line where we've chos

come when we make our stand at
that line.
