I agree with the article that in the two short weeks since the coup, Chiles woes have not been settled. Allende was destroying Chiles democracy. The coup has pulled out the bullet, but it is up to the Chileans to heal the wound.

The Communists used to point with pride to Chile as the first case of freely elected socialism. With the coup, the first and only case of a democratically elected socialist government failed.

We stand for the Constitution I love tha. statement. Your couraged the increase of foreign aid to underdeveloped countries. Arent these two attitudes diametrically nnnnspd' Granted, it is a good cause to aid underprivileged people and also to aid the unfortunate in our own land is worthwhile. However, in either of these two situations it is necessary to take forcefully from one to give to another. The founders of the Constitution had no intention of this, and the Lord Himself prepared the men to frame that document. It was intended that the government do only for the people that which they could not do for themselves. The governing bodies were Intended to be a servant, not a master. I know of nothing in the Constitution that gives governmental leaders the right to distribute or to determine an amount of taxes for charity that has been taken from the American people. To do so is to travel the road to Socialism. To vest in our leaders the right to do with our taxes whatever they wish is to give them uncontrollable power. It is fraught with danger. Such men should be voted out. President J. Reuoen Clark in the Sept. 25, 1949 copy of the Church News, said it this way: The plain and simple issue now facing us in America is freedom or slavery . . . Our real enemies are communism and its running mate, socialism. And never forget for one moment that Communism and Socialism are State slavery. One thing seems sure, we shall not get out of our present difficulties without trouble, serious trouble Indeed, it may well be that our government and its free institutions will not be preserved except at the price of life and blood. The paths that we are following, if we move forward thereon, will inevitably lead us to socialism or communism, and these two are as alike as peas in a pod in their ultimata effect upor. our libe'es. We may first observe that communism and socialism which w'e shall hereafter group together and dub cannot liv with Christianity, nor wuth any relistatism gion that postulates a creator such as the Declaration of Independence recognizes. The slaves of statism must know no power, no authority, no source of blessing, no God, but the State. The State must be supreme in everything. For if men are free in belief about God, they wil finally assert their rights, and this would be fatal to statism. You have hidden this move toward Socialism under the banner humanitarian efforts but it is nonetheless a move toward Statism. I am very disturbed that our best daily newspaper, which supports the Constitution, can be so easily trapped in this dichotomy. Lets realistically support the Constitution. Byron J.
