MRA AND MR. K '
‘Kommunist’, the Moscow organ which gives the Party line inside the Soviet Union, recently said of Moral Re Armament: V
‘ ‘Moral Re-Armament is certainly the most prominent assbciation which aims to save Western civilization from
Communism. It has staff headquarters in Europe, Asia and America. These people hold assemblies in Lean
America and even organize Pan-African conferences . . . The leaders of Moral Re-Armamont claim it is superior to capitalism and Communism . . . At a time when the morale of the bourgeois world are bankrupt, the prophets of Moral Re-Armament say that the world requires an ideology to satisfy the longing for absolute standards, an ideology able to move the hearts of the privileged as well as the under-privileged . . . They train officers, philoso- phers, film directors and move with 200, 300, or 400 people in strength with up-to-date technical equipment, radio transmitters, libraries . . . Not long ago they issued a call to Communists through full pages in the press. In this the Communists are challenged to take part in ‘the greatest revolution of all time.’ These people say the problem is neither Communism or capitalism, but the necessity to change human nature to the roots. They puff themselves up with pride and even suggest to Marxists they should change and take up anideology that is for everybody. This is really the mostbold stroke that has come from these propagandists of reconciliation and forgiveness.”
As Mr. Khrushchev and his followers try to explain attitudes of Moral Re -Armament, it is important to state what Moral Re -Armament is for and what it is against.
FOR
INTELLIGENT NATIONAL SECURITY. A FREE PRESS.
COMMUNISTS, FASCISTS, OTHER ‘ISTS’ or anybody willing to pay the price of changing themselves in a revolutionary bid to change society.
THE ERITISH COMMONWEALTH of nations as a pattern of unity and purpose for the world.
SOCIETY where no man is handicapped by colour, race, back- ground or upbringing, all have the chance of full, satisfying life.
PEACE.
A REVOLUTION OF CHANGE, social, economic, national, universal, founded on personal change.
FULL AND PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT in industry that meets the needs of humanity rather than brimming the pockets of a few while the bellies of many stay void.
CHRIST’S STANDARD OF HONESTY that means no skeletons in any cupboard and a fair day’s work for a fair day’s wage.
CHRIST’S STANDARD OF ABSOLUTE PURITY.
MARRIAGES THAT LAST because they are a promise, for better, for worse, held sacred by partners and people.
GREAT ART in theatre, films, television.
CHRIST’S STANDARD OF UNSELFISHNESS which means the pursuit of a goal all humanity can accept and share —- the remaking of the world based on government by men governed by God.
CHRIST’S STANDARD OF LOVE that cures evil as well as forgiving it.
TRUTH;
GOD, CHRISTAS PERSONAL FRIEND and Saviour, a Church sflame with the Holy Spirit.
I
AGAINST
Sexual deviants in high places who protect potential spies.
Those who bully pressmen for obeying their conscience. And pressmen who abuse their liberty by distorting or suppressing news of Moral Re-Armament and reports of its plays and books.
Communism, Fascism, or any small perilous ‘ism which abolishes God and sets race against race, class against class, colour against colour, man against man, in an atomic age.
Debunkers of patriotism, who decry the past, debase the pre- sent and destroy the future; a Canada which criticizes the USA, the USSR, the UN, but is itself deeply divided.
Leaders of society and government who use influence and power to force decadence upon us — bigots who try to perb secute those unwilling to compromise.
Pacifism, which seems to make war certain. Leaders who cry “Peace” but create conditions that lead to war. Philosophers and fools who cry “peace” but train man to live like a beast, and so
doom him to live like a beast, treat others like beasts, and march the path to slaughterhouse or zoo.
Reaction which strives to change everybody else except itself.
Steely selfishness of right, acid bitterness of left which create class war, lock-outs, unofficial strikes and lead inevitably to national bankruptcy and war.
Human “honesty” which publishes other people’s shortcomings while covering up its own, tells men to get as much as they can in return for as little as possible.
Homosexuality, lesbianism, pornography, adultery, lies which 'say sin is no longer sin when enough people come to like it. _ Preoccupation with dirt which robs a nation of sweat and skill and helps to lose its markets.
Divorce by consent whether legalized or wangled.
Producers and critics who uplift grime as genius and bar those who stand for decency, faith and honour.
Human selfishness that elevates “number one” into the na- tional idol, says all who refuse to worship it are squares.
Human “love” that tells men evil is all right, cannot be cured and so says there is nothing to forgive, and that man can man- age by himself.
Lies invented by knaves. endorsed by blue-blooded and swall- owed by fools which separate a nation from moral and spirit- ual rebirth.
Those in and out of churches who use theology, science. per- sonal compromise and position to rob the nations of true faith.
This is one of a series of pages. Like all the w arid wide advance of Moral Re~A rmament. . they are paid for by men and women who give from conviction and sacrifice. C ontribu- tions and enquiries may be sent to Moral lie-Armament, I303 Yonge St, Toronto, Ont.
