Show The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand Page 8 The Utah Independent April 8, 1976 The Birch Log A Plan For America by John F. McManus Belmont, Massachusetts Secretary of State on March 11 Boston Henry A. Kissinger visited to accept an award from the local branch of the World Affairs Council. His acceptance speech, hailed everywhere as a tough and important policy address, was a masterpiece of avoiding real issues while knocking over straw men. Dr. Kissinger cannot fail to be aware of two significant attitudes that are slowly but surely sweeping America. One is resentment toward d his conduct of our nations foreign affairs; the other is a growing recognition of him as a colossal failure in the serious business of upholding America's interests. Never really addressing himself to either of these attitudes, the Secretary of State chose instead to blame his difficulties on pathetic political critics, whom he branded as seekers of short-terpolitical gains. In effect, he made straw men of this years motley crew of presidential aspirants. Undoubtedly, his performance appealed to the veteran America-laster- s of the World Affairs Council. The straw men and their straw issues were ' easily dispatched. But an increasing number of Americans are concerned about Dr. Kissingers deliberate n policy. These real critics do not intend to lie down while our nations sovereignty and security are frittered away. cannot act, others will. Yet when American troops faced Communists in battle just a few years ago, Henry Kissinger and his kind tied their hands and guaranteed their defeat. The Secretary of State aimed a harmless powder-puf- f bloc which domat the inates the United Nations, and insisted that extortion will not work and will not be supinely accepted. But the world knows that such a statement is mere rhetoric because U.S. leaders have supinely accepted such treatment for years. non-align- ed high-hande- m no-wi- Obvious Contradictions If ever a speech was a collection of contradictions, it was Kissingers Boston performance. He spoke favorably of more constructive ties with the Soviet Union and yet ac- knowledged irreconcilable differences between our nations. He talked of the importance of continuing arms control negotiations but was forced to acknowledge the widespread belief that the present Administration was permitting unilateral Soviet gains in military preparedness. Dr. Kissinger criticized Congress for cutting the defense budget, saying that if America A Plan For America Midway in his speech, Dr. Kissinger asked for suggestions about what our nation should do in the foreign policy field. We appreciate the opportunity to respond. We recommend that the United States: 1. Cease at once all credits, loans, and foreign aid of any kind to any Communist nation. Lets see how far the Reds can go without our perpetual assistance. 2. Make no more agreements of any kind with Communist tyrants. The history of agreements with the Reds is a continuing string of betrayal and deceit. 3. Abandon all disarmament commitments immediately. The only way to remain free has always been to remain strong. 4. Disengage from all regional and worldwide entanglements, such as the United Nations and NATO. Each has proven to be a compromiser of our national interest and anything but a deterrent to Soviet advances. 5. Announce that detente is a thing of the street past, not because it is only a one-wa- y but because it is a dishonorable compromise with tyrants and murderers. The American people have a serious choice to make, and the continued arrogance and perfidy of Henry Kissinger may help them to make the proper decision. Business as usual under Kissingers influence can only lead to ruin. Rejection of him and his policies is sorely needed.

You could hear the great whoosh of wings that makes great orators seem to hover a foot or two off the floor. Lord George Brown, once the number two man in the Labor Party, resigned rom his party after 45 years, declaring that he was shattered by Solzhenitsyn's message that Western leaders had failed in their responsibility to freedom.

Nevertheless, the force of the exiled Soviet authors words were undeniable. Almost every national paper wrote i reverential editorial and pundits of all political stripes joined in the chorus of weaker in relation to the East.

Solzhenitsyn was exiled from the Soviet Union two years ago, after the publication of his most recent novel, The Gulag Archipelago, and he has been an outspoken critic of the Soviet government. He was imprisoned for several years because of his political views. The theme of his message was familiar but lost no drama because of that.
