About this time the State Department issued a Document No. 7277 entitled Freedom from War United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World. At the same time, the late alter Reuther submitted a memorandum to the late Attorney General Robert Kennedy dealing with the muzzling of the military and the crushing of the radical right. The secret Rostow-Moscoon the "no-wi- n Report policy also was issued at that time. It provided that our country (1) abandon first strike weapons, (2) refrain from encouraging revolts from behind the Iron Curtain, (3) refrain from criticizing satellite countries, (4) deny foreign aid to countries which refused coalition governments (as we did in Laos), (5) work toward general and complete dis- i pro-Commun- ist so-call- ed w armament. The above is a glimpse of the type of nrnnaorsmHa campaign that would restore our position as the worlds strongest power. We know we would not use that poweraggressively, and we know it is the only way to prevent the USSR from using its power aggressively. If we do not- wish to play second fiddle to the USSR, we must recover our strength. At the same time, the massive rearmament effort required to complete this task would put our idle people back to work. To be sure, it would cost money, but probably less than we are spending on relief and for unemployment. Furthermore, it would not be wasted money. It would be the means of preserving our leadership throughout the world. Let us remind ourselves of the words of Sun Tzu, Chinese strategist in 500 B.C.: . . . to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemys resistance without fighting. - - i Economics Department ' NORTHWOOD INSTITUTE THE SCOTT REPORT i r DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION PREVIEW By Paul Scott i i Government Washington: and party security officials are beginning to prepare for massive demonstrations during next years Democratic National Convention in New York City.

Since both Wallace and McGovern have the power of exciting their followers to militant action, the coming primary- campaigns are expected to build up a momentum that will attract tens of thousands of pro and advocates to New Y ork City for the convention showdown. Democratic National Committee officials say privately that Wallaces call for the adoption of a plank supporting a Constitutional d Amendment to ban school busing could easily become the most explosive issue at the convention. Senator McGovern has set the stage for that, they stress, by announcing that he will oppose any Democratic candidate that is opposed to school busing as an instrument for desegregation. The passions between the pro factions are and expected to peak at the convention. With two such militant and opposing forces converging in New York City at the same time, all the elements will be there for a big political explosion. - anti-busi- ng court-ordere- anti-busi- ng OTHER MASSIVE massive In addition to the over demonstrations school busing.

One chapter of this revised version carries the title Cancer Cell No. 1 in the Free Body Politic. The cancer cell is national sovereignty. Congress Says No Practically every Congress since the early 1940s has rejected the move for Atlantic Union. Even after the United States joined the NATO military alliance, Congress would not bend to the far more comprehensive entanglements of Streits proposals. But he and his cronies have pushed on and have come dangerously close to winning initial acceptance. In 1974, the Atlantic Union proposal passed in the Senate but was narrowly defeated in the House, With Congressman Paul Findley (R. 111.) leading the charge, and with continued support from Vice President Rockefeller, the Atlantic Unionists are back again this year. Whereas their former rallying cry was the need for union to oppose the Soviet Union, they now claim union is needed to combat the energy crisis, monetary instability, and economic slowdown. According to its proponents, Atlantic Union will solve every problem and create no new ones. nations). The proposal calls on Congress to establish a delegation to participate in an Atlantic Convention as the first step toward formation of an Atlantic Union. The participants at the convention are to be representatives of all NATO nations, plus others the convention might invite. 210-19- 7. -- Clarence Streit The crusade for an Atlantic Union began with the publication in 1938 of a book entitled Union Now. The book, written by Clarence Streit, envisioned a political union of fifteen nations (chief of which were the United States and Great Britain) as a preliminary step toward a federal union of the world. Clarence Streit had studied in England under the Rhodes Scholarship program. From 1920 until 1939, he served as a newspaper correspondent, first for a Philadelphia newspaper and then for the New York Times. For ten years he covered the League of Nations for the Times. His long association with the fledgling world government obviously served to solidify the abhorrence of national sovereignty that was implanted by his academic training. For Clarence Streit has worked for forty years to scrap our Declaration of Independence. To carry out his design, Streit and a host of supporters have formed numerous organizations such as Federal Union, Inc., International Movement for Atlantic Union, Committee on Atlantic Studies, and Atlantic Union Committee. In 1946, Streit founded the magazine Freedom and Union, which still propagandizes for an end to sovereignty. In 1961, he published a revision of Union Now called Freedoms Fron three-hundred-pa- ge Beware Atlantic Union A close study of Clarence Streits lifelong dream, however, convinces us that the proposed Atlantic Union would have unlimited power to impose common citizenship; to tax citizens directly; to make and enforce laws; to coin and borrow money; to establish a monopoly on military forces; and to entwine us with Communist nations. The whole business adds up to forcing the United States to submit to majority rule by other Union members at first, and then to a world government in the future. The result can only be the destruction of freedom and an early death for the American Republic. We suggest that Americans tell their Congressmen and Senators to continue to reject anything to do with Atlantic Union.

Involved in trying to create a militant mass political movement unions, negro including the far-le- ft and civil rights groups and the antiwar protestors, Owens believes large street demonstrations at the convention will help bring this about. In order to accomplish our political objective, we have to get back to the idea of the street demonstrations, states Owens. Its been in mothballs for a long time. COMING ATTRACTIONS In recent weeks New York City officials have had a number of signs of what to expect. There have been a rash of protests and demonstrations tied to the city's fiscal crisis. Only last week several thousand persons laid off from city jobs because of the crisis tied up traffic on several major highways in the city. With the city scheduled to cut back still further, additional and can be larger demonstrations expected from now until the Democrats arrive in the city next July. Democratic officials here are concerned that it could all add up to another bloody Chicago-typ- e convention which helped to elect a Republican President in 1968. Note. The Democratic National Committee has retained as its security coordinator. Clifford Cassidy, a Dallas businessman who formerly headed the Texas Public Safety Department. Rocky Pomerancc.
