The chairman then read a letter of congratulations to the members of the convention from the Tokyo Communist League. The telegram ended: We must together establish our proletariat dictatorship to ooa-bin all tbdr (eand destroy xploitive forms. Our struggle should be a violent one to resist and destroy the violence of establishment power. There could be little doubt as to who was in charge of the National Conference of Revolutionary Organizations in Oakland, California, during July, 1969. 1975. Until now, to extend the voting franchise to another group of people, a Constitutional amendment was considered necessary. The Fifteenth Amendment extended voting rights to the Negro and Nineteenth Amendment to at fascism-imperialis- m women. VIOLATE CONSTITUTION Now, however, due to a recent decision of the U. S. Supreme Court, the door has been opened wide for those who want to completely violate the Constitution. It was in a test case of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and was A Communist convention is like other conventions in that it is designed to feed fuel to the enthusiasm of passed upon by the court in June, 1966. The case was Katzenbach vs. Morgan. The supreme court held tliat congress could find that an English literacy test as a qualification for voting was a violation of the equal protection clause of the faithful. During the proceedings the speakers often opened up the inner recesses of their conspiratorial hearts to brag about their latest exploits. This is one of the most valuable aspects of the tape prepared by Dr. Benson. The listener can hear for himself what these people admit they have been doing and hear them boast of what they intend to do in the future. The fact that some of their plans have already been executed with extremely serious consequences should lend credence to the necessity of paying closer attention to those which still remain on the agenda. At this convention the speakers were vehement and bitter in their contemptuous reference to President Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, the police, the American Constitution, the United States Congress, the American courts and the American culture. Their total dishonesty in claiming to be defenders of the American Negro, the American poor and the American youth was reflected in their proposed solution to each of these problems. It was always the same solution: violent revolution. This, of course, to be followed by a military dictatorship pretending to represent the power of the people. Any conscientious American who is sincerely desirous of improving his country cannot help but react to the speakers of this convention with shocked indignation. If sufficient quantities of Dr. Bensons tape circulate around the country, it may create the same panic reaction in the Communist hierarchy which the film, Operation Abolition produced back in 1961. At that time the Communist Party had to use every influence it possessed to get that documentary film suppressed. And because the film was an official government property, the Party was able to reach certain political nerve centers and have its distribution suspended. Dr. Benson s tape would not be so easy to suppress. It is undoubtedly one of the most creditable means of determining the seriousness of the revolutionary threat which is currently available.
