That is the question each man asks his neighbour. Every woman awaits the answer. In a divided,world, with both camps armed with weapons capable of total devastation, the theory of the class s-trug.gle as well ’ as the theory of capitalism. the welfare state, or the affluent society will prove too small. too slow and too selfish to achieve anything except, disaster. ‘ ’Many honest Communists know it. Too few in the non-Com-2 lmunist world will face it. Our appeal is to every sincere Communist and Marxist in Russia,- in China and throughout the world to join with us in the greatest revolutionary adventure of all whereby the root problem -i human nature-vis dealt with thoroughly. drastically and on a colos- sal scale and nations are halted in their "mad. historic march to violence and destruction. ' It will mean change for all. Changed economic conditions’. thougli essential, do not change men. Decadence in some of every generation among the richer societies of the non-Communist world, decadence among the third generation of. Communists in the Communist world prove it. Too many Communists, as Mr. Khrushchev has pointed out. are toolselfish to make their Communism work in their homes, on the farm, in the factory, in the nation, or in their world revolution. Too many non-Communists are too selfish to live for anything except their own comfort. their own corner, their own concerns. Years ago. Frank Buchman, initiator of Moral Re-Armament". in aspeech broadcast to the world, said: "Is change for all the one basis of unity for all? Can Marxists befchanged? Can thdy have this new thinking?-Can Marxists pave the way for a greater ideology? p Why’ not? "They have alwaysbeen open to new things. They have been forerunners. They will go to prison for their belief. They will die for their belief. Why should they not be the ones to live for this superior thinking?" Many people say that Capitalism or Communism. class or colour. are the problems, _ ' . The problem is not Communism. It characton: The problem is not Capitalism. It is character. The problem is not Colour. It is character. .The problem is not Class. It is draractel. ‘ A New men with new motives will build a new world. No concept short of this touches the root of the modern malaise. Hans Boeckler, the great president of the German Trade Union Federation, put it this way, "When men change, the structure of society changes. And when~the structure of society changes, men change. Both go together and both are necessary." m ~ This revolution of Moral Re~Armament already has bridge- heads in every nation. It is in its final phase of total expansion throughout the world.‘ ' all white men to leave, seventeen nations have invited Moral Re-Armament to their couiitries. In Nigeria. Tunisia, the Cameroons, Morocco and the Congo respon- sible leaders say that it has already averted bloodshed. In Kenya, hard—core Mau Mau revolutionaries were changed when they heard their white prison commandant apologize for thearrogance and greed in men like himself. which had helped to cause Mau Mau. They gave ‘up their hate, for they saw that where black hates white today. black would kill black tomorrow. They took the all-African I N AFRICA, at the time when many Africans want ‘film Freedom, which dramatizes this answer, to their - leader. Iomo Kenyatta. He said. "Get this film into Swahili. It is what our people need.” ' A CURE FOR HATRED AND SELFISHNESS Dedan Mugo, the first man arrested in the emergency. saw the film in Swahili. He had returned from twelve years in prison to find that his two wives and four children had been killed, his home demolished and his land con- l % ' fiscated. He says. "I decided to forgive the white man. A l l when I'saw that only thus could Africans, Asians, Euro- peans live, in peace." Together with Kenyatta's only brother, he took Freedom to 400,000 people in Kenya in six months. "Moral Re-Armament is an intelligent medi- cine to cure the diseases of hate, selfishness-and bitterness. which confuse nations everywhere," he says. In South America. ‘revolutionary students of San Marcos University, Peru, where,Vice-President’ Nixon was stoned, have changed. "To change the system is only half a revolution," said the editor of the left-wing student paper. "Moral Re-Armament is the total revolution be- cause it changes the system and produces the incorruptible men to run it. The mostreactionary man is the one who wants to change the world, but refuses to change himself." They wrote a play, El Condor, portraying this total fight for social justice. Capitalists and generals changed, quit their sterile anti—Communism, and took up the fight with them. They were received with tumultuous enthusiasm by the land workers in the Peasant League country. In the port of Recife so many dockers found hope and purpose ‘ that alcoholism wentdown by 50%. The Director of the Port Co-operative reports, "Looting and pilfe_ring are go- ing out of fashion. Honesty has come in, so that prices of staple foods have been able to be cut by 35%." ' In recent months Moral ‘Re-Armament plays have been seen in football stadiums by more than a million and a half people in Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Brazil. Millions ' more see Moral Re-Armament programs regularly on tele- ‘vision’: ' , FOR WGRLD PEACE AND ASIAN UNITY In Iapan on October 22nd, 1962, the Prime Minister I o p e_ ne (1 _an Asian training centre for Moral Re-Arma-M ment at Odawara. The invitation committee for the first Assembly there includes two former Prirne Ministers and top\trades union and industrial leaders. who say: "Inorder to lay a foundation for world peace. and especially to create unity in Asia, individuals and nations must-now give priority to Moral Re~Armament." .Takasumi Mitsui‘. the President of the Mitsui Foundation, sold his last family property to provide money for the centre. ‘The aim is to makereal for every Asian the words of Frank Buchman to the rice’ workers of Ceylon. "Empty hands will be filled with work, empty stomachs with food and empty hearts with an_ idea that really satisfies." One of those leading the Assembly will be Rajmohan Gandhi. He is the third generation of his family to stand with Moral Re-Armament. His grandfather. Mahatma Gandhi, who achieved India's freedom from imperialism.’ first met Buchman in 1915, and said, "Moral Re-Arma- ment is the greatest thing that has come out of the West." "His father, Devadas Gandhi, said, "If Moral Re-Arma- . ment fails, the world fails." Pressed by the leaders of India to take a prominent position in his country, Rajmohan replied, "Where would India be today if my grandfather had accepted the advice to return to his law practice in- stead of fighting for his country? Today, not just one country is in jeopardy. but the whole world.“ -THIRD GENERATION or MORAL) ’ RE-ARMAMENT The grandchildren of the men and women changed when Buchman visited Scandinavia in the thirties have written a play which gives an answer to impurity and hate. It offers youth of every nation something great to live for. \ Itwill go ‘through Europe thiswinter.
