Scott asserts that there are increasing bits and pieces of evidence indicating the whole sordid affair may have been triggered within the Republican Party in a fierce power struggle to engineer a shift in White House personnel including the Chief Executive before the 1976 Presidential election. Mr. Scott notes that the Liberal power bloc inside the Republican Party (headed by Nelson Rockefeller) is moving into the vacuum created by Watergate and is raising its key people in the Nixon Administration to new and controlling positions within the White House and other key government Departments. As the characters assume their new roles we find Elliot Richardson (C.F.R.), a longtime backer of Rockefeller (C.F.R.), supervising the Watergate investigation and working with Leonard Garment, also a longtime Rockefeller supporter. Garment has been authorized by President Nixon to speak for the White House on all matters which pertain to Watergate. The very Liberal General Alexander Haig, another Rockefeller sympathizer, has been temporarily assigned to the job of White House Chief of Staff. Haig, a protege' of Henry Kissinger (C.F.R.), who is also a Rockefeller man, has 'been aided in his rise to power by Secretary of State Rogers, whom Scott calls a highly influential Rockefeller man. Paul Scott notes that the UJS. Constitution gives the President the authority to appoint a Vice President in case of a vacancy an appointment which must be confirmed by both the House and Senate. If Nixon should be forced out of office, Agnew would become President and would, so Scott speculates, be in a position to appoint a Vice President subject to Con- Dedicated To The Constitution, Liberty, Morality, and Truth Free men can vote themselves . into slavery, but slaves cannot vote themselves free." J. Reese Hunter KERSHNER COMMENTARY DEADLY X3ENOCIDE TREATY The revolting crime of genocide was practiced by Hitler against the Jews, by the USSR against the Baltic countries and the Poles in slaughtering 12 to 15 thousand of their leaders at Katyn massacre, by Stalin in purging his fellow countrymen, by the Chinese Communist government against Tibet and its own property-ownin- g citizens, by Moslem North Sudan against Christian South Sudan, by Nigeria against the Biafrans and by the Communist government of North Vietnam against the opposition leaders in that country and against the leaders in such parts of South Vietnam as the Communist armies have occupied. No doubt with good intentions, many delegates to the United Nations voted in favor of the UN Genocide Treaty. They seem not to have realized that this treaty did not prohibit or opppse genocide exercised for political reasons. It would not operate against the genocide practices of Russia and China as noted above. The Russian lawyers at the UN Convention were, no doubt, careful to see that this treaty could not be invoked against genocide operations of political nature so common in Communist lands. Genocide, according to the UN Treaty, is proscribed if it is racial, religious or nationalistic, but not if it is political. The genocide treaty outlaws not only actual killing or injuring of people, but attempted "mental harm" if done on racial or religious grounds. Bringing persons to trial for acts of violence has been referred to as genocide, Practicing abortion, even to save the life of the mother, has been said to be genocide. Teaching birth control to women who wish to control the size of their families could be described as genocide. If one killed another in self-defen- se he might attac t0 therefore, be inoperative. The treaty would annul the-thConnally Reservation providing that neither our countrY nor its citizens may be brought before the world court without the consent of our government . It also makes extradition mandatory at the request of any foreign country. Communist or otherwise. .This means that North Vietnam or any other country could accuse a United States citizen of genocide committed in its jurisdiction, and extradite such person for trial in any tribunal that the UN might establish. The defendant would have no appeal to any of the safeguards provided by our country, American soldiers serving abroad might be accused of genocide, and our country could protect them from trial. Our nt public officials, editors, publicists, ministers, or anyone else might be extradited to stand trial for genocide. Remember genocide is defined as including any attempt at "mental harm" to another individual on racial or religious grounds. In spite of the devastating charcter of this treaty, the late President Truman sent it to the United States congress for ratification in 1950. The late Eisenhower and Presidents Johnson also commended its ratification. In February 1970 President Nixon urged the Senate to ratify the Genocide Convention. Any harm that one might intentionally or unintentionally do to a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, no matter how minor, might be classified as genocide, and the perpetrator hauled before a foreign court, These facts are stated in the hope that the American people be will inform themselves The good Samaritan gets mugged SOVIET NAVY TO BE FEARED SAYS BRITISH AUTHORITY Peter Kirk, a Conservative member of the British Fleet, but it is almos't entirely new, while nearly 50 percent of the U.S. Fleet dates back from World War Parliament and former Navy Minister, has spoken out against the new perils confronting the West by the mass build-u- p II.
