It has become all right to lie, if by lying more sociologists can be trained and indoctrinated in the religion of Humanism instead of belief in Jesus Christ and God, the Father. Behavior Modification, a very efficient treatment for mentally ill persons, has become the tool for brainwashing American children into sublimating their individuality to the needs of the masses, by those in favor of a One World federal government who are in charge of Americas educational system.

WARNING FROM THE INSIDE By William Loeb Amidst all the uproar over Watergate, the price of beef and other food in the supermarkets, and what with summer vacations, probably few Americans paid much attention to a warning delivered recently by a very famous Russian physicist, Andrei D. Sakharov. Yet that warning contained much more of importance to every man, woman, and child in the United States, than Watergate, the price of bread or other food, or the temperature of the water during our summer vacations. THAT WARNING FROM PHYSICIST SAKHAROV IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH TO EVERY AMERICAN -DEATH IF IT IS NOT HEEDED! For many years this newspaper has tried to warn its readers about the real nature of the threat from Soviet Russia and from Communism. We are well aware that ours was not a popular message, but this is no time to be running popularity contests because, again, it is a matter of life and death. Now, from the very heart of Communist Russia, from a man who was one of the key Soviet scientists in developing the Soviet hydrogen bomb, comes a warning to Americans that we must heed. Furthermore, Andrei Sakharov gave this warning possibly at the cost of his own life. He did so most assuredly at the risk of the loss of his own freedom because in Communist Russia when one steps out of line and tells the truth, especially to the world outside the Soviet Union, one is whisked away to a convenient prison or insane asylum and subjected to the modem version of the treatment which the Tsars inflicted on those they did not like in their day. American technological aid and grain shipments would help the Communist rulers to solve the economic problems which their own technicians cannot solve. He pointed out further that freeing Russian leaders of the necessity of doing something about these problems gave them more time and more resources to concentrate on building up their armaments program and their military aggressive capacity. As a result, he said, the world would become helpless before this uncontrollable bureaucratic machine. He pointed out that the Western World does not seem to understand that helping the Soviet Union means cultivating a country where anything that happens may be shielded from outside eyes a masked country that hides its real face. The developer of the Soviet hydrogen bomb then added, No one should ever be expected to live next to such a neighbor, especially one who is armed to the teeth. The lack of freedom in Communist Russia is clearly illustrated by the fact that when Mr. Sakharov began to write about the need for reforms in Soviet society, he was immediately dismissed from his high position and is now living on the equivalent of S9S0 a month, which incidentally, is still about five times the average income of a Soviet worker. Other individuals of his scientific rank are treated to all sorts of goodies in the form of country houses, high income, private cars and other good things which are the reward to Soviet scientists who tout the party line and dont make any waves or talk about freedom. When a top leader of the communist scientific world feels it is necessary to warn the rest of the world of the dangers ahead, isnt it time that the rest of the world really took that warning seriously? Until the Soviet leaders allow the free emigration of their people and allow freedom of speech and adopt truly democratic procedures, and cease their attempts to overthrow other governments, just that long will this danger exist. Those who attempt to support the Soviet Union via technological aid or by supplying wheat and other food stuffs, are not only perpetuating tyranny over the poor Russian people but also they are building up an enemy which is planning our own destruction. Surely such policies as we have now adopted in this country toward the Soviet Union can only be regarded as INSANE. -- Manchester (N.H.)

Combining freedom and responsibility has never been easy, but it must be realized if we are to remain free. So you see, atheistic Secular Humanism has replaced Christianity in American education.
